FAR Infrared is a light wave in the electromagnetic spectrum with a wavelength of 3 to 15 microns. It is a light invisible to our eyes, and can only be perceived by the sensation of heat that it produces. This term refers to the infrared emitted by Bioceramics. It can be measured using an emission radiometer capable of detecting waves greater than 3 micrometers.

Biostimulation is an effect of light interacting with cells capable of causing your metabolism to increase. It acts on the cell membrane perviousness and the mitochondria, thus yielding products such as proteins (elastin, collagen), hormones (endorphins, serotonins), etc.

For such a synthesis to occur, regularization of the extra cellular medium is necessary. Infrared stimulates the release of nitric oxide and histamine, important substances in vasodilatation, responsible for draining and decreasing edema. It provides general pain relief, free radical (toxins) elimination, tissue repair acceleration (skin, bones, muscles), reduction of edema, management of arthritis, arthrosis, decrease of wrinkles (collagen and elastin), improves microcirculation, etc

There is no direct effect on fat cells, because these only store nutrients. Radiation stimulates the metabolism of all irradiated cells to synthesize their products, but for this synthesis to occur, ATP formation is required, and this will require nutrients found within the fat stored, which promotes body mass reduction. The reduction of fat mass may be evidenced by bioimpedance.

Infrared emitted by Bioceramics stimulates local circulation, improving oxygenation and promoting drainage of free radicals through sweat and urine, causing regularization of the medium, correcting the pH, attenuating premature aging and the formation of wrinkles, in addition to stimulating collagen and elastin by the cells of the epithelium. It has anti-inflammatory effects, analgesic effects, and healing effects.

Infrared has been very successfully applied in the medical, physiotherapy, nursing, and physical education areas

Temperature is not so important; it just needs to be a little above body temperature and its effects can already be perceived in the biostimulation of tissues. High temperatures only cause water loss and may cause electrolyte loss with sodium, potassium, and calcium, which could provoke cramping.

Bioceramics was originated in Asia from the armaments industry, and it is composed of Alumina, Silica, magnesium oxide, etc. It was used with the addition of iron based compounds in dyes to paint missiles and planes in order to avoid detection by radars, because radar waves, upon colliding against walls, came back in a diffused manner, making it impossible to identify the object.
This ceramic was incorporated into hooded clothes for the soldiers not to be detected at night by the infrared devices. With its use, the soldiers reported an improvement in pain and blood circulation. This material started to be used in aesthetics, showing major results in the health area, as if they were mystical results, until research was initiated on the interactions of the infrared light with the cellular physiology.

Bioceramics incorporated to tissues may be used:

1. In the management of cellulite, in the reduction of body mass by decreasing edema;
2. In the management of localized fat;
3. In the reduction of wrinkles by stimulating elastin and collagen;
4. In the improvement of circulation;
5. In the relief of pain and post-surgery management;
6. In the management of adhesions and fibrosis.
   
   

Since it is a non ionizing radiation and has a low intensity, it does not have any side effects, and it can be used in patients with metal prosthesis, with silicone, contact lenses, cardiac pacemakers, coronary artery bypass grafts, etc….

The shorts have the property of exerting a gentle compression on the skin and take advantage of the body's heat lost to the medium, stimulating the bioceramics incorporated into the shorts' fabric, thus emitting infrared with therapeutic properties, such as improvement of circulation, reduction in body mass, analgesic effects, anti-inflammatory effects, collagen and elastin synthesis.

The shorts can be indicated for anyone without any side effects, in the management of cellulite, and joint and muscle pain.
They are also ideal for athletes and sports players, because they accelerate the removal of lactic acid accumulated in the muscles during physical activity, reducing pain and muscle fatigue, thus improving physical performance.

The shorts can be used at any age with no side effects.
They can also be used by women in the third age as an aid in the treatment of arthritis, arthrosis, rheumatisms, osteopenia, and osteoporosis.

There is no need for a medical recommendation for their use, but they may often be indicated by physicians to avoid post-surgery and post-treatment relapses, and to potentiate the use of medications.

Cellulite has no cure, but it is possible to sooth it, by avoiding smoking and alcohol, by eating balanced food, and by always practicing healthy physical activity.

Yes, the shorts can be worn while working out, because they facilitate the removal of lactic acid built up during exercise, and improve circulation by removing free radicals and toxins stored in the hypodermis.
They are also light and flexible, and can be worn underneath clothing without any inconvenience.

16) If I wanted to wear the Shorts through the entire day, would there be a problem?

Cell metabolism can often come off its plateau for several reasons, such as the presence of edema, excess free radicals, acidic pH, inactivity, etc. The infrared that acts on the tissue promotes the regularization of the extracellular medium, favoring the improvement of cell nutrition, consequently increasing its metabolism until a plateau is reached.
Changes in DNA can only happen with an ionizing radiation and using an ultraviolet energy down the electromagnetic spectrum.

17) What is Bioceramics and how does it act against cellulite?

Bioceramics is a fine ceramic powder composed of alumina, silica, and magnesium oxide with the property of absorbing the entire spectrum of light, and emitting a narrow band of infrared light with therapeutic properties.
It acts by stimulating enzymes that can control inflammation and the pH of the region, favoring cell division and protein synthesis, thus improving the unpleasant appearance of the skin caused by cellulite.

18) Are there any contraindications for the use of the shorts?

There are no contraindications, and they have been approved by the Brazilian National Health Surveillance Agency - ANVISA.

19) When should the shorts be replaced?

Bioceramics does not lose its properties, even after several washes. They can be used as long as the fabric lasts.
