How Does Laser Light Heal?
Healing with the use of light is not new. Light therapy was reported to be effective for many conditions by Hippocrates. With the development of the laser and its special properties, using light as a treatment has gained more popularity. This is because we can now use specific wavelengths of light and give accurately measured doses of energy directly to the appropriate treatment site, which was not possible with other light sources.
Cold laser therapy uses low level light directed at the skin allowing the photon energy to penetrate tissue where it interacts with various intracellular biomolecules to help restore normal cell function and stimulate the bodys natural healing processes. It is particularly useful when conventional therapies have been inaffective or when acceleration of healing from injuries is needed.
Low level lasers supply energy to the body in the form of non-thermal photons of light. Light is transmitted through the skins layers (the dermis, epidermis and the subcutaneous tissue or tissue fat under the skin) at all wavelengths in the visible range. However, light waves in the near infrared ranges penetrate the deepest of all light waves in the visible spectrum. When low level laser light waves penetrate deeply into the skin, they optimize the immune responses of our blood. This has both anti-inflammatory and immunostimulate effects. It is a scientific fact that light transmitted to the blood in this way has positive effects throughout the whole body, supplying vital oxygen and energy to every cell.
