The augmentation of temperature provided by thermotherapy stimulates intracellular metabolic processes and, therefore, produces an anti-inflammatory, as well as sedative and analgesic effect for the patients. This is one of the most common complementary treatments used in the surgical recovery process because of the relaxation feeling developed in the patient, which prevents muscle spasms.
Also, temperature augmentation improves the skin's capacity to absorb topical medication. This treatment, which also includes massages sessions, aims to accomplish the desired aesthetical outcomes, such as localized adipose tissue reduction or cellulite reduction. Besides, it is also used an anti-stress and relaxation therapy.
