Scanning LLLT - low-level laser therapy, is a form of therapeutic procedure that applies low-energy lasers or diodes that emit light to the surface of the body.
LLLT works by:
- Stimulates cellular activities - encourages mitochondria to produce more ATP
- Promotes the natural healing process - cells recover and heal naturally
- Improves cell metabolism
- Reduces inflammation - provides pain relief and reduces inflammation without side effects
This therapeutic procedure produces a laser beam of light at a wavelength of:
- 635 nm - red lasers are a therapeutic beam of light for the treatment of pain and inflammation
- 405 nm - violet laser light has been proven to have an effective anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antibacterial and antifungal effect
The therapeutic effect of the laser consists of:
- Anti-inflammatory effect - accelerates the expansion of capillaries and increases their durability, promotes the absorption of decay products of metabolism, increases immunity
- Analgesic effect – Stimulates changes in factors associated with pain, which results in a decrease in the content of 5-hydroxytryptamine in the treated tissue and the release of analgesic chemical substances, thereby reducing pain.
- Wound healing - after stimulation, the production of epithelial cells accelerates, which enable enhanced regeneration of the skin as well as other deeper structures.
- Tissue regeneration – stimulates protein synthesis, metabolism and cell maturation for tissue repair and promotes collagen production.
