founded in 1949 Pleasure IR01 INFRARED CABIN
INFRARED CABIN The light that balances Infrared, which penetrates the skin beneficially, stimulates the circulation and metabolism and allows the body to regain its normal state of health and experience a natural condition of wellbeing. Infrared rays are perceived by the human body in the form of heat but they are not visible to the naked eye. Unlike the classic Finnish sauna, which works by heating the air inside the cabin, infrared lamps heat the body penetrating directly under the skin, in the tissues. This way, they activate the expulsion of impurities through sweating. They also allow muscle relaxation and increase blood circulation. The depth of penetration depends on the wavelength of the IR rays. Carmenta infrared cabins are fitted with the new Philips Vitae heaters. The low-cost infrared heaters on the market only work with IR-C rays (minimal skin penetration), the ceramic ones use IR-B and IR-C rays but no heater on the market surpasses the quality of Philips Vitae heaters, produced by Philips in the Netherlands. These radiators work with IR-A (19.3%), IR-B (62.5%) and IR-C (18.2%) rays and are called Full Spectrum. They radiate heat at short, medium and long wavelengths. The quartz infrared light heaters used by Carmenta, whose technology enables full use of the spectrum of infrared frequencies, mimic the natural heat of the sun. The VITAE lamps warm the body gradually from the inside out bringing an immediate benefit within the first 5 minutes of use, but without creating a feeling of heaviness or stress to the skin. Depth of penetration into the skin (source Philips): Infrared Type A: up to max. 5 mm (Hypodermis, Subcutis) Infrared Type B: up to max. 0.5 mm (Epidermis, Dermis) Infrared Type C: up to max. 0.1 mm (Horny layer, Germinal cell layer, Epidermis) From the home market, infrared saunas are preferred to traditional saunas because they do not cause thermal shock to the body, but rather heat it gradually. Their use has met with strong consensus among physicians and specialists in the field who recommend their use even to people with mild heart or venous problems. They are also well suited for children, who can use them without problems. The infrared spectrum is optimally adapted to the human skin. A healthy and comfortable way to relax. 3
