Effects of Infrared Radiation and Heat on Human Skin Aging in vivo

Abstract: Sunlight damages human skin, resulting in a wrinkled appearance. Since natural sunlight is polychromatic, its ultimate effects on the human skin are the result of not only the action of each wavelength separately, but also interactions among the many wavelengths, including UV, visible light, and infrared (IR). In direct sunlight, the temperature of human skin rises to about 40 degrees C following the conversion of absorbed IR into heat. So far, our knowledge of the effects of IR radiation or heat on skin aging… Show more

“…The interaction between different wavelength bands, such as visible light, UV radiation and infrared plays an important role in the development of these effects. 15 Infrared radiation (IR) can transmit energy as heat, raising the temperature of the skin. Human skin exposed directly to IR can have its temperature raised to over 40 °C due to conversion of IR into heat.…”
