LED Light Therapy-Photobiomodulation Laser treatment is the application of polychromatic lights over injuries or lesions which will stimulate the cell’s natural healing, pain relief and circulation enhancing processes. The term Photobiomodulation was adopted by scientists with NASA and the U.S. military. Effectiveness of light therapy is dependent on the color of the light (wavelength), intensity, frequency and total energy delivered. All eukaryotic cells in the body have one or thousands of cellular power houses called mitochondrion. Mitochondria are responsible for providing most of the required ATP for cells energy production.

• Tissue Repair & Rapid Cell Growth: Laser light causes photoactivation of cells changing the homeostatic balance of the cells and accelerates tissue healing by accelerating cellular reproduction and growth

• Anti-Inflammatory Action: Causes vasodilation and activates the lymphatic system to draining swelling from injury site

• Reduced Scar Tissue Formation: Stimulates fibroblasts to lay down collagen and increases the normal fibroblastic repair process thus decreasing the formation of scar tissue. Surface scars such as from cuts, post operative procedures, burns, etc. will whiten and heal at a much faster rate if treated with laser than those left to heal without treatment and are less likely to bind down to deeper layers of tissue.

• Wound Healing: Increases fibroblasts (laying down of more collagen), speeds up angiogenesis (increased Blood Vessel diameter) causing temporary vasodilation, speeds up reabsorption of haematoma (swelling)

• Increased Metabolic Activity: Stimulates higher production of serotonin, calcium ion channels, RNA & DNA at the cellular level, proteins, fibroblasts, lymphocytes and leukocytes. Also increases oxygen loads for blood cells, therefore a greater production of nutrition for the cells.
