Now, this isn&rsquo;t just about warming up the surface of the skin. We&rsquo;re actually sending energy deep into the tissue to change how the gums react to the infection.</p> <h2 id="getting-the-inflammation-under-control">Getting the Inflammation Under Control</h2> <p>Here is how it works. The infrared light sinks through the gum tissue and reaches those deeper periodontal ligaments. Inside there, we&rsquo;re hunting for specific proteins—TNF-α and IL-1β—that basically act as the &ldquo;fuel&rdquo; for swelling and tissue damage. By using IR energy, we can tell the cells to dial back those proteins. Once that happens, the cycle of destruction finally stops. It&rsquo;s the moment the tissue stops fighting and actually starts healing.</p>
