What is laser therapy ?
Laser therapy utilizes penetrating photonic energy to achieve physiological and biochemical changes within the targeted tissues. Also known as “photobiomodulation therapy” (PBMT), this is a form of light therapy that “results in beneficial therapeutic outcomes including but not limited to the alleviation of pain or inflammation, immunomodulation, and promotion of wound healing and tissue regeneration”
Reduce Pain : Laser therapy can reduce the firing of the C-pain fibers that transmit signals of ‘pain’ from the cells to the brain. Increased blood circulation flushes away tissue irritants called ‘kinins’. Pain modulating chemicals such as endorphins and enkephalins are released from the brain and adrenal gland. Increased cell membrane permeability encourages normal concentrations of ions across the cell membrane, and the resting potential of pain fibers is returned to -70 millivolts.
Moderating Inflammation: Laser treatments modulate inflammation by causing vasodilation and activating the lymphatic drainage system. As a result, there is a reduction in swelling caused by bruising or inflammation. Try not to say that Laser treatments are “anti- inflammatory”, they do not suppress inflammation as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) do. Laser Therapy helps the body progress through the stages of inflammation more efficiently.
Accelerate Wound Healing: Laser therapy stimulates fibroblast development (fibroblasts are the building blocks of collagen, which is predominant in wound healing) in damaged tissue. Collagen is the essential protein required to replace old tissue or to repair tissue injuries. As a result, laser therapy is effective on open wounds, scars, and burns.
What is Laser Surgery ？
Laser surgery mainly applies the functions of laser vaporization, cutting, and coagulation of soft tissues, which can remove tumors. It can also be combined with endoscopy (gastroscopy, cystoscopy, colonoscopy, laparoscopy, bronchoscopy) to perform ablation, coagulation, cutting, and hemostasis surgery for tumors, polyps, and ulcers in the body.
Advantages of Laser Surgical
Less bleeding
Reduce pain
Reduce anesthesia
Reduce the risk of infection
Reduce tissue damage
No muscle contraction effect
Cutting adipose tissue quickly
Why Are Wavelengths Important?
Wavelengths determine a therapeutic laser’s depth of penetration in tissue and specifically target beneficial chromophores to stimulate the photochemical reaction.
650nm Accelerates Surface Healing
Irradiating an area with 650nm, a wavelength where melanin in our skin absorbs very well, will ensure a large dose to the superficial region. Since light can both inhibit bacteria and promote cell growth, laser therapy has incredible results in wound healing and scar tissue regulation.
810nm Increases ATP Production
The enzyme determining how efficiently the cell converts molecular oxygen into ATP has the highest absorption at 810nm. Regardless of the enzyme’s molecular state, when it absorbs a photon it will flip states. Photon absorption will accelerate the process and increase cellular ATP production.
915nm Enhances Oxygen Delivery
The quicker oxygen is released into the blood stream, the more fuel the cell has to carry out all of its natural healing processes. The peak of hemoglobin’s absorption lies at 915nm, and when this radia- tion is absorbed, more of this oxygen-fuel is made available to the cells.
980nm Improves Circulation
Water in our pet’s blood transports oxygen to the cells, carries waste away, and absorbs very well at 980nm. The energy created from absorbing a photon gets converted to heat, creating a temperature gradient at the cellular level, stimulating micro-circulation, and bringing more oxygen-fuel to the cells.
