Laser Therapy

Laser therapy uses selected wavelengths of light to stimulate key molecules in human tissues. Decades of medical research have identified the wavelengths, energy levels and frequencies that induce changes in cellular metabolism (Photobiostimulation); for instance, melanin absorbing sunlight changes skins pigmentation. K-Laser delivers energy from superficial to deep tissues activating a cascade of photochemical reactions that promotes cell function, enabling treated tissues to accelerate the healing process and reduce pain sensation. This is a safe and non-invasive technique that uses the body’s reparative processes.

The therapeutic effects of Laser Therapy

Improved nerve function

Laser therapy is proven to facilitate the normalisation of nerve signal transmission in the autonomic, sensory, and motor neural pathways. Compound Muscle Action Potential (CMAP) and Nerve Latency values show improvement following laser treatment. It also stimulates axonal sprouting and cell regeneration in damaged nerves.

Improved vascular activity

Laser therapy induces vasodilation in the treated area and promotes angiogenesis, thus improving blood circulation, optimising tissue nutrition and removal of cell waste and inflammatory factors. Laser boosts the lymphatic drainage system as well. As a result, swelling caused by bruising or local inflammation is reduced.

Anti-inflammation

Laser therapy accelerates the termination of the inflammatory process. Interleukin-1, a cytokine with immune and pro-inflammatory actions, is proven to be reduced by laser treatment. In addition, the antioxidant Super Oxide Dismutase (SOD) levels are enhanced, helping reduce damaging free-radical activity.

Increased metabolic activity

By stimulating key molecules (haemoglobin, water, cytochrome c), Laser therapy improves tissue oxygenation, ATP synthesis and intercellular exchanges, activating a cascade of photochemical reactions that speeds up the healing and regenerative process.

Analgesic effect

Pain relief results from nerve activity alteration and reduced localised inflammation and swelling, proven to happen following a Laser therapy course.

Accelerated tissue repair

Laser wavelengths, power and pulse frequencies penetrate at depth into tissues and accelerate cellular reproduction and growth by increasing their metabolism. As a result, the cells of tendons, ligaments, muscles and bones are repaired faster.

Reduce fibrous tissue formation

Early Laser Therapy can prevent the accumulation of scar tissue following tears, burns or surgery. Once healed, the tissues are proven to be more elastic with minimal scarring, reducing the onset of chronic pain associated with scars.

Immunoregulation

Acceleration of Leukocytic activity and enhanced Lymphocytic response has been observed in treated tissues (enhances the removal of nonviable tissue components and rapid repair). Wounds treated with the Laser are more resilient to secondary infections.

Faster wound healing

Laser therapy optimises collagen and elastin deposition: wounds treated with the Laser are proven to heal faster, with increased tensile strength preventing further breakdowns. Laser therapy is effective on Chronic Diabetic Ulcers and traumatic wounds.
