Infra red rays are electromagnetic radiations and have a superior wavelength to that of visible light, hence they are to be found at the opposite end of the spectrum from ultraviolet light.  Such radiation is emitted by all bodies, but only that emitted by incandescent bodies may have a biological effect on living tissue.  Over the last few decades physio-therapists have been using infrared rays, since they are aware of the healing properties of the heat which acts as an analgesic and aids the process of muscle relaxing and tissues self-healing.  This is because the heat relaxes all of the muscles including the muscle tunic and arterial vessels so that as they relax there is subsequent vaso-dilatation.
What is new, however, is the use of this treatment in the world of beauty therapy.  Of course, it is not enough simply to turn on the infrared lamp in order to obtain results with the adipose tissue.  Research has recently shown that in addition to the heating effect, infrared rays have an important biological effect on the mitochondria, which are the energy giving organs  found in cells, for the infrared rays help these to produce adenosine triphosphate which is the real source of energy in our cells.
At this point it must be remembered that the most efficient way to alter the shape of the adipose tissue is to ensure that there is an increase in the demand for calories.
The physical activity may be either active (direct physical muscular activity) or passive (using appropriate wave electric currents to stimulate the muscles).  We have chosen to use this second method, by adopting highly versatile equipment which can synergise to a maximum the effect of the infrared radiation.
This is for two main reasons:

• even by using a combination of correct diet and physical exercise to treat localized adipose tissue the results may not be too satisfactory (in many cases they can constitute a real drama!).
  
• not all those who wish to alter the shape of their body have the time or the inclination to dedicate themselves to long hours of arduous physical work.

We have solved this problem by using electric currents which can deal with these problems by inducing the muscles to carry out physical activity which is suitable for weight loss without overloading the cardiovascular apparatus.
This method, which follows the logic given here above, can be applied without any type of problem right on the area of localized adipose and it can give highly satisfactory results.

For all the above reasons, ELS18is provided with an 8 channels electro stimulator to get the best result, not only in slimming but also in firming, toning, lipolysis and draining. The electrostimulator is intergrated in the system, so that the user will have all the parameters, the programs and the positioning of the electrodes displayed in a single screen together with the light therapies control. This will make the use of ELS18 as easy and intuitive as possible.

• The principle at the base of this theory is that every cell, tissue and organ in our body vibrates (that is: emitts vibrations or, scientifically, electromagnetic waves) with specific wavelenghts and at determined frequency.

• When these cells, organs, etc. are not healthy they vibrates in a different way than the normal, healhy one. Each color corrisponds to a different wavelenght.

• The aim of chromotherapy is to re-estabilish the proper balance by providing the correct energy by selecting the proper color.

An electromagnetic wave is the vibration of an electromagnetic field, produced  by the combination of an electro and a magnetic field. It can be seen as the sum of small “packets” of energy called photons.  This will stimulate the reaction of cells and tissues in a way similar to the other forms of light/energy delivery.

In particular the main electromagnetic flow is through the circulatory system which is a brilliant conductor because blood is filled with a saline solution called plasma and also because the vascular system begins at the heart and extends into every nook and cranny of the body, so it is ideally suited to distribute energy to all tissues.

In order to perform the most comfortable treatment program ELS18 is provided with pre-installed MP3 music tunes, customized for each selected treatment, in order to get the best results in a totally relaxing atmosphere
