Laser Hemotherapy Beaumaris — Sublingual Blood Irradiation for Systemic Health
Laser hemotherapy is one of the most distinctive and scientifically supported technologies available at Como Health Group in Beaumaris. Used by Chris Ravesi in clinical practice for many years, it delivers the therapeutic benefits of low-level laser blood irradiation through a non-invasive sublingual delivery method — making it accessible, safe, and effective for a wide range of systemic health conditions across all patient age groups. Unlike many advanced medical technologies that require specialised clinical environments, laser hemotherapy at Como Health Group is delivered as part of an integrated naturopathic programme — working alongside herbal medicine, nutritional therapy, and other clinic technologies to produce comprehensive, multi-layered therapeutic outcomes for complex and chronic health presentations.
What Is Laser Hemotherapy?
Laser hemotherapy uses low-energy laser light of several wavelengths to illuminate the blood vessels beneath the tongue. The laser light penetrates the thin layer of the oral mucous membrane to reach the rich sublingual blood flow just below the surface — a highly vascular area where blood is flowing continuously close to the surface. This is termed indirect laser hemotherapy, distinguishing it from direct intravenous laser blood irradiation (ILBI) in which laser light is delivered directly into the bloodstream via a catheter. The indirect sublingual method produces comparable therapeutic effects without the invasive procedure — making it entirely non-invasive, with no associated risk factors and no recovery time required. The clinical evidence base for laser hemotherapy is substantial. Many scientific studies have been carried out to support the therapeutic effect of both direct and indirect laser blood irradiation — particularly at Russian, European, and Chinese universities — with research documenting effects across cardiovascular, immune, neurological, and metabolic systems.
How Laser Hemotherapy Works — The Mechanism of Action
The fundamental mechanism by which laser therapy energises living biological systems is mitochondrial photon absorption. Mitochondria — the energy-producing organelles within each cell — absorb photons from the laser light and respond by activating and increasing the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the body’s primary unit of cellular energy currency. By influencing cellular energy production at the mitochondrial level, laser light is able to profoundly stimulate the biological function of cells throughout the body. This has been documented to accelerate tissue repair and regeneration across multiple tissue types — including bone, blood, cartilage, nerve, and muscle. When applied sublingually, low-intensity laser light produces a range of measurable vascular and immune effects. These include enhanced activity of the vascular and immune systems, increased oxygenation of tissues and blood, stimulation of red blood cell formation, reduction of blood viscosity, and improved microcirculation throughout the body. The therapy also promotes the activity of white blood cells, enhancing the body’s immune defence mechanisms.
“Irradiating blood improves the general condition of patients and is used for its biostimulative, analgesic, antiallergic, immunocorrective, antitoxic, vasodilative, antiarrhythmic, antibacterial, antihypoxic, spasmolytic and anti-inflammatory properties” Levon Gasparyan, researcher — on the clinical applications of laser blood irradiation
Why Sublingual Delivery Is Clinically Effective
The sublingual region is one of the most vascularised accessible areas of the body — rich in blood vessels that carry blood continuously close to the surface, with only a very thin mucosal membrane separating the laser from the blood flow beneath. This makes sublingual delivery uniquely effective for indirect laser blood irradiation. As blood flows through this region during treatment, it is continuously exposed to the laser light and then carried throughout the body’s circulatory system — delivering the photobiomodulation effect systemically rather than only locally. This systemic delivery is what gives laser hemotherapy its broad therapeutic reach across multiple organ systems and health conditions simultaneously. The treatment is entirely comfortable — patients sit or recline with the laser applicator positioned sublingually for the duration of the session. There is no sensation of heat, no discomfort, and no side effects. Most patients find the experience relaxing and report improved energy and clarity of thinking in the hours following treatment.

Laser Hemotherapy as Part of Integrated Natural Medicine
At Como Health Group, laser hemotherapy is rarely prescribed in isolation. It is most effective when integrated into a comprehensive naturopathic or acupuncture programme that addresses the underlying biochemical, immune, and systemic drivers of a patient’s condition alongside the direct circulatory and cellular effects of the laser. Chris Ravesi’s training in European biological medicine — which emphasises the internal terrain of the body as the primary determinant of health and disease — directly informs how laser hemotherapy is used at this clinic. In the biological medicine model, improving the quality, oxygenation, and circulation of the blood is a foundational therapeutic intervention. Laser hemotherapy is one of the most direct and effective tools available for achieving this. For patients dealing with complex or multi-system conditions — including post-viral syndromes, mould-related illness, chronic fatigue, or cognitive decline — laser hemotherapy is typically combined with targeted naturopathic immune support, ONDAMED biophysical therapy, activated oxygen therapy, and nutritional medicine to address the condition from multiple therapeutic angles simultaneously.
What to Expect at a Laser Hemotherapy Session
A laser hemotherapy session at Como Health Group is straightforward, comfortable, and typically takes 20 to 30 minutes. You will be seated comfortably while the laser applicator is positioned beneath the tongue. No needles, no heat, no discomfort — simply a low-level laser light delivering its therapeutic effect through the sublingual mucosa to the blood flowing beneath. The session is completely non-invasive. There are no side effects, no recovery time, and no disruption to daily activities. Most patients report feeling relaxed during treatment, with many noticing improved energy levels, reduced fatigue, and greater mental clarity in the hours and days following sessions. Sessions are prescribed individually based on your health history and treatment goals. For acute presentations, a short series of 4 to 6 sessions may be recommended. For chronic or complex conditions, laser hemotherapy is typically integrated into a longer treatment programme of 8 to 12 sessions alongside naturopathic and other integrative therapies.
Frequently Asked Questions — Laser Hemotherapy
Is laser hemotherapy the same as intravenous laser blood irradiation (ILBI)?
They share the same therapeutic mechanism — low-level laser light irradiating blood to stimulate cellular energy production, vascular function, and immune activity — but differ in delivery method. Intravenous laser blood irradiation (ILBI) involves inserting a laser fibre directly into a vein, which requires a clinical procedure and carries minor associated risks. Laser hemotherapy as practised at Como Health Group uses sublingual (under the tongue) delivery — entirely non-invasive, with no needles, no procedure, and no risk factors. Research supports comparable therapeutic effects from both methods, making the sublingual approach a clinically effective and significantly more accessible alternative.
Is laser hemotherapy safe?
Yes — sublingual laser hemotherapy is one of the safest therapeutic technologies available at Como Health Group. It is entirely non-invasive, produces no heat, carries no side effects, and requires no recovery time. The low-energy laser used is well within safe exposure limits for the oral mucosa. It is suitable for patients of all ages and can be used safely alongside conventional medical treatments, pharmaceutical medications, and other naturopathic and acupuncture therapies. As with all treatments at Como Health Group, laser hemotherapy is prescribed individually by a qualified practitioner following a thorough clinical assessment.
What does a laser hemotherapy session feel like?
A laser hemotherapy session is entirely comfortable — most patients describe it as relaxing. You sit or recline comfortably while the laser applicator is placed under your tongue. There is no sensation of heat, no discomfort, and nothing invasive. Sessions typically last 20 to 30 minutes. Many patients notice improved energy, reduced fatigue, and greater mental clarity in the hours following treatment. There is no recovery time — you can return to normal activities immediately after your session.
Can laser hemotherapy help with Long COVID or post-viral fatigue?
Yes — laser hemotherapy is one of several tools used at Como Health Group in the management of Long COVID and post-viral fatigue syndromes, both of which frequently involve immune dysregulation, impaired cellular energy production, reduced blood oxygenation, circulatory dysfunction, and neurological impact. Laser hemotherapy directly addresses several of these mechanisms simultaneously — stimulating mitochondrial ATP production, improving blood oxygenation and microcirculation, modulating immune activity, and producing anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. In these complex presentations it is typically integrated into a broader programme that also includes naturopathic immune support, ONDAMED therapy, and nutritional medicine.
