What is the difference between Near Infrared and Far Infrared?
Infrared energy is part of the electromagnetic spectrum and is divided into three categories based on wavelength: Near Infrared (NIR), Mid Infrared (MIR), and Far Infrared (FIR). Each type has unique properties and applications:
Near Infrared Rays
- Short in length
- Surface level
- Closest to visible light
- About 0.7 - 1.1 microns
- No warmth
- Used in remote control devices
- Improve skin health
- Accelerates wound healing
Mid Infrared Rays
- Average in length
- Targets deeper layers
- Used for thermal imaging
- About 3 - 5 microns
- Improving circulation
- Aiding muscle recovery
Far Infrared Rays
- Long in length
- Penetrates even deeper
- Closest to microwaves
- About 7 - 14 microns
- Emits thermal energy
- Used in saunas and fabrics
- Easily absorbed by the body
- Provides overall therapeutic effects such as pain relief and detoxification
Far Infrared Rays (FIR) are the most beneficial for health and wellness because the human body readily absorbs their wavelength (7-14 microns). FIR energy can penetrate the skin and tissues to improve circulation, boost oxygenation, and promote recovery, which is why it’s used in technologies like HEAL SMART YARNS™.
-
Does HEAL SMART YARNS™ regulate body temperature?
Yes, HEAL SMART YARNS™ have thermoregulating properties. They help keep your body warm in colder climates and cool in warmer ones by improving blood circulation and naturally balancing body heat.

What is Biomodulation?
Biomodulation is a process that modifies biological processes using light or other low-energy stimuli. It can be used for medical, aesthetic, and lifestyle purposes. Light penetrates the skin and mitochondria of cells, stimulating chemical reactions that restore cellular function.
Biomodulation can treat or manage conditions like arthritis, chronic fatigue syndrome, sports injuries, and burns.
Biomodulation can improve skin texture and health by promoting collagen and elastin production.
Biomodulation can help athletes recover from injuries like hamstring pulls, plantar fasciitis, and muscular sprains.
Biomodulation may help prevent neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Motor Neuron Disease.
Biomodulation is also known as photobiomodulation (PBM), which is a combination of the words "photo" (light), "bio" (life), and "modulation" (change).
