A form of thermotherapy is the application of infrared light. It is a type of electromagnetic and thermic radiation of mayor length of waves than the visible light, but less than the microwaves.

The heat that irradiates from the lamp produces a dilatation of the blood vessels and as a consequence the increase of the blood flow in that area. This light can pass the skin layer up to 3 centimeters and therefore it acts directly on the muscles, arteries and veins. These immediate effects permit at the same time the more rapid absorption of crèmes with calming effect.
