Laser Therapy is a form of phototherapy which involves the application of monochromatic light to elicit a physiological effect. Also known as Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) it is a painless, safe and non-toxic medical treatment that uses photons (packets of light) to alter cellular function. The light energy of lasers promotes cellular repair and reproduction, this in turn accelerates the body’s natural wound healing and repair process. In addition to tissue healing, laser therapy may also provide pain relief to the affected area. It can also help to reduce bacterial counts, and be effective in promoting post-operative wound healing and pain reduction.

We also utilise a laser device which indirectly radiates the blood. Our Laser Hemotherapy device uses low energy laser of several wavelengths to illuminate the blood vessels under your tongue. In this way, the laser light can effectively penetrate the thin layer of your oral mucous membrane to reach the rich sub -lingual (tongue) blood flow just below the surface. This is termed indirect laser hemotherapy as it is non invasive and has no associated risk factors. Many scientific studies have been carried out to support the therapeutic effect of direct (as with Intravenous laser blood irradiation) and indirect (as with laser hemotherapy), particularly at several Russian, European and Chinese universities.
The fundamental way in which laser therapy energizes living systems is via mitochondrial photon absorption (mitochondria are the energy producing factories within our cells). This activates and increases the production of ATP (our energy unit of currency). By influencing energy production laser light is able to profoundly stimulate the biological function of our cells. Hence Laser therapy accelerates tissue repair & regeneration. It has been documented to stimulate the healing of the tissue of bone, blood, cartilage, nerve and muscle.
When applied sub-lingually, the effects of low intensity laser light enhances the activity of the vascular and immune systems, increasing oxygenation of tissue and blood, stimulating red blood cell formation, reducing blood viscosity and hence increasing microcirculation. It promotes the activities of white blood cells thereby enhancing immune defence.
