Current Pain Relief Technologies: Understanding the Limitations
- Lidocaine Patches
- How they work: Blocks nerve signals to prevent pain transmission
- Limitations: Recent FDA warnings highlight risks of skin reactions and systemic toxicity
- Only masks symptoms without addressing underlying causes
- Effectiveness decreases with continued use
- NSAID-Based Solutions
- Common in both oral and topical forms
- Reduces inflammation through chemical intervention
- Known side effects: gastrointestinal issues, cardiovascular concerns
- Not recommended for long-term use
- Surface-Level Solutions (Menthol, Capsaicin)
- Creates cooling or heating sensations
- Works through sensory distraction
- Temporary relief without therapeutic benefit
- Requires frequent reapplication
The Ollos Difference: Healing Beyond the Surface
Our approach to pain relief represents a fundamental shift from traditional methods. Instead of masking symptoms or creating temporary sensory distractions, we've developed technology that works with your body's natural healing processes.
Far-Infrared Technology: The Core of Our Innovation Our patches contain a precisely engineered blend of Refined Zirconium Mineral and Natural silicate minerals. This unique composition enables our patches to emit far-infrared waves in the 8-20 μm range with over 98% emissivity. What makes this special is that these waves can penetrate beyond the skin's surface, supporting cellular activity and promoting natural healing processes.
How Ollos Technology Works:
- Deep Penetration Unlike surface-level solutions, our far-infrared technology reaches deeper tissue layers where many pain and mobility issues originate.
- Natural Healing support the specific wavelength range (8-20 μm) is optimized to:
- Support circulation
- Promote cellular activity
- Enhance natural healing processes
- Work at a molecular level to support tissue repair
- Consistent Performance - Our technology:
- Functions at room temperature
- Maintains effectiveness throughout the duration of use
- Doesn't require external energy sources
- Works without chemical interventions
- Safety Profile Because our technology works through physical properties rather than chemical interactions, it:
- Has no known side effects
- Creates no dependency issues
- Can be used as needed without diminishing returns
- Supports rather than interferes with natural body processes
The Science Behind Our Success
The key to our technology lies in the precise formulation of materials. This isn't just about generating heat - it's about producing the specific wavelengths that interact most effectively with human tissue.
Looking Forward
While traditional pain relief methods continue to rely on masking symptoms, Ollos represents the next generation of pain management technology. By working with your body's natural processes rather than against them, we're helping to pioneer a more sustainable approach to pain relief.
