Infrared help

Greetings, forgive my ignorance about IR photography-- have looked at posts I could find.  I am trying to figure out if I can use my M240 (or 5D2) to take 'hand held' photos with IR (capturing the thermal effect of cooling on the skin).  Trying to help my son illustrate effects of a particular cooling system on the body (it should illustrate the reduced skin temperature when applied) when compared with other systems.  I have a Nocti and have seen that by using some IR filters it may be possible, but I believe only at multi-second exposures which won't work since the body part that cannot be 'fixed'.  Can this only be done using a bespoke IR camera or one converted?  Forgive the unusual question please-- never in my 64 years took an IR shot.

 

I am trying to capture an image something like this?  Is this possible with 'as is' M240 or 5D2 and a filter or some other  'easy method'?  This is a 'one-off' project and just trying to help one of my kids with website image he is looking to create.   Many thanks

Thermal imaging lives somewhere a between 9,000 nm to 14,000 nm, CMOS or CCD sensors are fairly insensitive in this frequency range. Without putting a InGaAs or InSb sensor into your M240, the camera will be pretty blind to thermal infrared.
