The lights create a comforting, warm feeling with the pads.

The infrared light energy releases nitric oxide from hemoglobin and endothelial cells. Nitric oxide is a signaling molecule that relaxes smooth muscle cells found in the arteries, veins, and lymph vessels. When these muscles relax, the vessels dilate, thus allowing increased circulation.

You can use the lights up to 2 times a day in the same area, but you should allow a few hours between treatments if you are treating the same location. For ongoing treatments 3 times per week is typical.

Blue, red and infrared have different levels of penetration into the body.

• Anti-Inflammation
• Anti-Pain (Analgesia)
• Increased Metabolic Activity
• Immunoregulation
• Accelerated Tissue Repair and Cell Growth
• Improved Nerve Function
• Improved Vascular Activity
• Trigger Point Resolution and Acupuncture Point Stimulation

You can see red lights, but you cannot see infrared light. It might not look like they are on, but they are actually on. If you took your cell phone and looked at the pads through the camera, you'll actually be able to see the infrared lights on.
