Well yes, even the temperature itself should make tissues more susceptible to PE. That said, I wouldn’t do it, since PE requires time and it’s not healthy to spend too much of it in a sauna.

Lets say i want the downregulation of matrix metalloproteinase 1 (MMP-1) and the upregulation of type I procollagen from NIR, but i also want the heat from FIR or US for collagen remodeling, so upregulation of MMP-1.
1) Could this be performed within the same session, within an hour?
2) One session in the morning and another session in the evening?
3) Maybe perform the 3 consecutive day sessions with US heating, followed by couple of days extending with NIR ?
Human tissues are not integrated circuits, changes do not apply in seconds. IR radiation affects MMP-1 by altering production, absorption and circulation of chemical compounds of very different nature, so basically all effects happen on a scale of hours, if not days. If you want to use both IR and heat I wouldn’t do it in the same day.
Perhaps it could be a good starting point to use them alternatively - one day IR, the following heat, then IR and so on. Or, use a longer separation, as your third option suggested.

I think pumping with IR might help in getting more girth, but it’s just a personal guess.

I had my eyes set on this one in particular, what are your thoughts on it?

Even if in the title it mentions 850nm, in the description it seems that it emits only red light (660nm).
However, assuming it emits in 850nm too, half of its energy goes to 660nm which won’t get any deeper than the outermost layer of your dermis.
I think this lamp is going to make your skin hot way before reaching a real irradiation of the ligament.
