Infra red

These are rays produced as part of the visible light that is given off by the sun. Infra red heat lamps have been used for their therapeutic effects for many years and may have several methods of application.

Used for warming the tissues prior to a treatment they create a soothing warmth enjoyed by many clients. In addition to this Infra-red may be used to retain heat in products applied to the face or body or as a compliment to massage helping promote relaxation and reduce muscle fatigue.

I have seen advertised a back massage with heat, would this be referring to Infra Red?

Possibly. Heat treatments may consist of mechanical massage or an application of a warm product on the skin. It is advisable to ask the therapist to define the treatment details advertised.

I have a very sensitive skin, would Infra-red be suitable for may skin?

Without seeing your skin it is difficult to say. All therapists would assess the skin sensitivity prior to any heat treatment and take into account any sensitivity. Ensure you express your concerns to the Therapist and advice will be given accordingly.
