About ten years ago, researchers and physicians from NASA and the Medical College of Wisconsin conducted research on the effects of near infrared (NIR) LED light on wound healing. The research team concluded that NIR LED light significantly promotes faster cell regeneration, wound healing and human tissue growth. Human cell growth increased by between155%-171% in some cases and wound size decreased by 36%. 1
Introduced in 2010, our advanced Solocarbon Custom Spectrum heater is the only heater on the market capable of producing near infrared (NIR) light using LED technology. This is the same technology used in the NASA/Medical College of Wisconsin research that concluded NIR therapy greatly enhances the wound healing process.
Our mPulse full custom spectrum infrared saunas employ the Solocarbon Custom Spectrum heaters, making them the only saunas available with the unique ability to heal wounds faster and minimize scarring through the use of near infrared LEDs.
