Product Information - Mechanism of Action

The initial pain relief mechanism produced by the absorption of BioFlexor®, generates a topical cooling effect. This is a result of vasoconstriction of peripheral vessels in the affected areas, yielding a decreased blood flow. This action causes a decrease in the temperature of the skin and subcutaneous tissues. As penetration of BioFlexor® continues, an interruption of sympathetic nerve conduction occurs, producing a warm vasodilation. This in turn, increases the blood flow to muscle tissue and to the surface of the skin, promoting the healing process and rendering both analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties.
