Human skin temperature can be imaged by thermal or infra-red cameras. When there is a blood flow under the skin, then that area will be warmer. In the thermal image it will be shown in red colour. If there is no blood flow it will result in a cool place. In the thermal image it will be shown in blue colour.
Human Cells and nerves are sensitive to light. Light can act as stimulant. Studies have demonstrated that certain colors tend to activate or inhibit nerves. Some colors can be used as anti inflammatory agents. Visible and infrared light are approved by Food and Drug Administratin(FDA), USA to treat chronic pain by increasing local blood flow. Laser and LED based light therapy research is limited to the anti inflammatory wavelengths (colors).A innovative company PhotoMed, goes beyond this research limitation. They use entire visible spectrum for treating people with ailments. They change the wavelength during the therapy.
Thermal imaging is used by PhotoMed, for objective feedback.
