Biological Effects of the Laser in Detail
Anti-Inflammation

Laser therapy has an anti-edema effect, causing vasodilation, activation of the lymphatic drainage system (drains swollen areas). Resulting in the reduction of swelling from bruising or inflammation.

Anti-Pain (Analgesic)

Laser therapy has highly beneficial effects on nerve cells, blocking pain signals transmitted to the brain, decreasing nerve sensitivity and inflammation. Less edema, less pain. Production of pain killing chemicals such as endorphins and enkephalins from the brain and adrenal gland is increased.

Accelerated Tissue Repair and Cell Growth

Photons of light from lasers penetrate deeply into tissue accelerating cellular reproduction/growth. Laser light increases the intake ability of the cells enabling quicker absorption of nutrients while eliminating waste products.

Immunoregulation

Laser light has a direct effect on immunity status by stimulation of immunoglobulin and lymphocytes. Laser Therapy is absorbed by chromophores (molecule enzymes) that react to laser light. The enzyme flavomono-nucleotide is activated enabling the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), a major carrier of cell energy and the energy source for all chemical reactions in the cells.

Improved Nerve Function

Laser light increases the process of nerve cell reconnection. Increases the amplitude of action potentials, the human body’s own mechanisms of actions to optimize nerve regeneration.

Improved Vascular Activity

Laser light significantly increases the formation of new capillaries in damaged tissue, accelerating the healing process while reducing scar tissue. Acceleration of angiogenesis, causing temporary vasodilation, an increase in the diameter of blood vessels.

Increased Metabolic Activity

Laser therapy creates an increased output of specific enzymes and increased oxygen for blood cells.

Reduced Fibrous Tissue Formation (Scars)

Laser therapy reduces the formation of scar tissue following tissue damage from cuts, scratches, burns, surgery and much more.

Trigger Points and Acupuncture Points

Laser therapy dramatically stimulates muscle trigger points/acupuncture points non-invasively providing musculoskeletal pain relief.
