A medical study has shown that the far infrared rays emitted by the Iyashi Dome are effective in improving the skin’s quality and physiological properties.

Carried out under the control of the French Society of Health Accreditation, the clinical trial confirmed the role far infrared rays play in correcting the signs of skin ageing by stimulating cellular activity in the skin.

The Iyashi Dome is based on so-called Onsen therapy – the therapeutic effects of hot volcanic springs. The Japanese company designed the dome to reproduce and amplify the beneficial properties of the springs by developing far infrared ray equipment made out of organic black carbon associated with PIP Titanium technology, which triggers a vibratory resonance specific to the Iyashi Dome equipment.

The clinical trial was conducted over a 28-day period, across eight sessions using the Iyashi Dome, and involved 13 patients aged between 31 and 63. All patients had a skin phototype between II and IV according to the Fitzpatrick classification scale.

The study showed a decrease in wrinkles obtained by 100 per cent of participants on at least one of the areas measured, up to 18 per cent, while skin complexion became more luminous for 80 per cent of participants, up to 12 per cent. It also helped brighten the skin and reduce dark spots up to 24 per cent.

Among other results, the Iyashi Dome improved skin hydration by an average of 39 per cent for all participants, and reduced skin blemishes and rough patches up to 24 per cent, with an average result of 13 per cent.
