Infrared Lamp

Infrared light is used to treat various conditions of the hair. Because infrared radiation has the longest wavelengths and is the warmer of the various shades of the light spectrum it is often used in deep penetration heat therapies for hair follicles.
 
Infrared lamps are used in many salons to apply deep penetrating heat therapies for deep conditioning of the hair, or for deep penetration of the skin in treatments for those who have severely dry scalp conditions. The heat produced by the infrared lamp causes the blood vessels to dilate. 
This response of the blood vessels creates a negative pressure which triggers in the inflow of nutrient rich blood supply into the heated area. The increased blood supply has the added effect of removing accumulated toxins and waste products in hair follicles and scalp tissues leaving a refreshed and rejuvenated area.
 
Using infrared light therapies require close monitoring and the client should never be exposed to infrared light for longer than five minutes at a given session.
