It
is
well
known that
in
many
cases heat
can
alleviate pain
and
speed
up the
process
of
recovery. This heat
is
administered
in a
very effective
and
practical
way by
means
of
Philips Infraphil.
The
Infraphil
warms
the
skin
and the
underlying tissues
in
such
a way
that
the
blood-vessels
are
dilated
and the
flow
of
blood
is
stimulated.
The
blood
brings with
it
the
substances
for
rebuilding
and
nourishing
the
body
tissues,
thus
healing
is
promoted
and
pain soothed away.

time
—
There
is
no
limit
to the
number
of
treatments.
A
treat-
ment
of 15
minutes twice
a day
usually gives
the
best
results.
Note
—
Certain
pain-killing
preparations reduce
the
body's sensitivity
to
heat. Treatment with
the
Infraphil should
not be
given where these
are
being
taken.

due

reduced
blood circulation. Treatment with

Infraphil improves
the
blood circulation.

that this treatment
is
started
in

Beauty treatment

the
blood
circulation;
this
helps
to
keep
the
skin
smooth
and
clean (the
formation
of
wnnkles,
black-
heads
and
clogged pores
is
checked). Furthermore, cosmetic prepa-
rations
are
more readily absorbed when
the
Infraphil
is
used before
and
after applying
the
creams.
The
Infraphil
is
suitable
for
both
a dry and
greasy
skin.

—
Treatment with
the
Infraphil,
if
necessary
in
combination
with massage
of the
scalp,
may
provide
a
speedy cure
for
temporary
hair loss.
Massage
— The
effect
of
massage
is
considerably increased
by
prior
or
simultaneous
treatment with
the
Infraphil,
so
that subcutaneous hae-
morrhage
and
accumulations
of fat and
fluid
etc. disappear more rapidly.
