Deep Heat

Low heat refers to the application of heat to the body of a patient. This is delivered through infrared saunas or deep heat appliances. Through infrared rays the tissue underlying the patient is effectively heated. Although the infrared rays produce less heat than, for example Saunas (infra-red rays: about 50° C, saunas 90 ° C), the former causing a higher sweat volume and are thus more effective at lower loads. Deep heat is applied, for example in patients with cellulite, because this application accelerates the reduction of fluid retention and fat cells.
