The use time of the infrared therapy device cannot be generalized. It needs to be analyzed specifically according to the situation. It is related to the type of instrument and the type of disease. Most of the irradiation time is about 20-40 minutes.
The infrared therapy device in the hospital is usually used to treat infectious skin diseases, such as furuncle, more serious acne, folliculitis, infection after trauma, bacterial infection secondary to tinea pedis, erysipelas, etc. Infectious diseases can be relieved by infrared therapy devices to reduce skin inflammation, relieve edema, pain, etc., generally once a day, and the irradiation time is usually between 20-40 minutes. The infrared therapy device with lower energy bought at home can be used for correct auxiliary treatment according to the instructions. However, it is recommended that patients do not rely entirely on the treatment of infrared therapy devices, but also listen to the doctor's advice. If the infection is severe, it is definitely necessary to use topical antibiotic ointment or oral antibiotic drugs for treatment. If it is a herpes virus infection, antiviral drugs and nerve nutrition drugs may be needed for combined treatment. If it is facial acne, you may need to pay attention to cleaning and skin care, and also need to take oral or topical medications to control symptoms, rather than just using infrared therapy devices for irradiation.
Using infrared therapy devices for irradiation is not suitable for patients with high fever, tumors or active tuberculosis. Be careful not to use too much infrared to avoid burning the skin. The irradiation distance should be based on feeling comfortable, but do not look directly at the infrared bulb with your eyes.
