- For a cosmetic treatment, place the appliance on a table and sit down on a chair in front of the
appliance. Tilt the lamp housing backwards so that the beam of light is directed towards your
face (Fig. 11).
3 To adjust the direction of the light beam, tilt the lamp housing forwards or
backwards (Fig. 12).
4 Sit or lie down at the right distance from the appliance.
- At a distance of 25-30cm to the body, the InfraCare treats an area of about 30cm by 20cm
(w x h). At a larger distance, the area treated becomes larger and the infrared light and
therefore the heat less intense. At a smaller distance, the area treated is smaller and the infrared
light and therefore the heat more intense.
- Make sure the distance between your body and the appliance is large enough to prevent
accidental contact with the hot filter.
Choose a distance at which the heat is comfortable and increase the distance if
-
the heat becomes too intense.
Note: The heat of the appliance does not reach its full intensity until several minutes after you switch on
the appliance. This does not mean, however, that the appliance is not effective during these first minutes.
Duration of treatment
The duration of the treatment depends on the type of treatment and the person to be treated.
Treatment of a single muscle or joint should last approximately 15 minutes. If necessary,
the treatment can be repeated several times a day. A longer treatment time than 15 minutes does
not lead to better results. You can repeat the course of several treatments a day on several
consecutive days to get a result. If there is no improvement after 6-8 treatments, stop using the
appliance and consult your doctor. For chronic problems, the appliance can be used for longer
periods of time, as long as you follow the instructions given in the 'Warning' section in chapter
'Important'.
