Infrared irradiation device

摘要

The infrared irradiation device comprises an infrared light source which is designed as an infrared laser (1) and whose light is directed at the area of skin to be treated medically/therapeutically. The infrared laser (1) is controlled by a control circuit (7) and emits coherent infrared pulse signals at a frequency of 0.1 Hz to 5 kHz, preferably 8 to 50 Hz. The frequency can be adjusted by means of an adjustment member (11) as a function of the skin temperature, which can be measured by means of a temperature sensor (17) and can be displayed in an optical display arrangement (27). The output of the infrared laser is low, so that the irradiated area of skin is not appreciably heated. <IMAGE>
