1) PowerStrips are a class 1 medical device that are FDA listed and can claim to provide temporary relief of minor pain and improve the look and feel of skin.
2) PowerStrips work by using germanium particles on the surface that refract heat and disperse it into infrared wavelengths, reflecting body heat back into the body. This increases blood flow and oxygen delivery which can aid in tissue repair.
3) Increased blood flow from use of PowerStrips can raise endorphin levels, stimulate anti-inflammatory prostaglandins, and remove metabolic wastes from pain-causing cells, all of which can contribute to pain relief.
