low level laser therapy (LLLT)

  FAST & EFFECTIVE HEALING 


Why I have incorporated LLLT into my practice?


 I use low level laser therapy (LLLT) which sometimes are also called cold laser therapy and photobiomodulation as part of my integrated therapy when needed, I find the result to be extremely beneficial and the ability to speed up healing and restoration of function to be very effective.  


Using LLLT as a stand alone or as a combine treatment with Acupuncture has helped many of my patients who suffered from both acute or chronic conditions. 


  But for those people who dislike needles which is used for acupuncture and dry needling, the low level laser therapy can be applied as a stand alone treatment as it offers great therapeutic effect.   


LLLT is low-intensity laser therapy, or laser therapy that uses low levels of light to stimulate healing. Unlike surgical or aesthetic lasers, it does not cause your tissues to heat up and therefore provides a safe, painless and efficient form of therapy for patients.


What is LLLT?

Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT), also known as photobiomodulation, is a non-invasive therapeutic technique that uses low-power lasers or light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to stimulate cellular activity. Unlike high-power lasers used in surgeries, LLLT does not cut or burn tissue. Instead, it promotes healing and provides pain relief by penetrating the skin and interacting with tissues at the cellular level. 


 LLLT is safe, painless, and non-invasive, with minimal to no side effects. It is a popular choice for individuals seeking alternatives to pain medication or for various health and cosmetic concerns. 


 

How LLLT Works?


LLLT delivers light at specific wavelengths, typically in the red or near-infrared spectrum (600–1000 nm). The light energy is absorbed by chromophores within cells, such as mitochondria, stimulating the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). This increase in cellular energy enhances cell function, reduces oxidative stress, and promotes repair processes.


 

Benefits of LLLT:


1. Pain Relief


  • Reduces chronic and acute pain by modulating nerve function.
  • Decreases inflammation, a common source of pain.
  • Effective for conditions like arthritis, back pain, neck pain, and fibromyalgia.


2. Reduces Inflammation


  • Inhibits pro-inflammatory cytokines and promotes anti-inflammatory responses.
  • Beneficial for conditions like tendonitis, bursitis, and post-surgical inflammation.


3. Accelerates Tissue Repair and Wound Healing


  • Stimulates collagen production, which is crucial for wound healing.
  • Enhances blood flow, delivering oxygen and nutrients to the site.
  • Useful for diabetic ulcers, burns, and post-surgical wounds.


4. Improves Muscle Recovery


  • Reduces muscle fatigue and soreness after physical exertion.
  • Enhances performance and recovery for athletes.


5. Promotes Nerve Regeneration


  • Supports the repair of damaged nerves.
  • Used in cases of neuropathy or nerve injuries.


6. Enhances Skin Health


  • Improves skin texture, elasticity, and appearance.
  • Reduces scars, wrinkles, and fine lines.
  • Beneficial for conditions like acne and rosacea.


7. Treats Hair Loss


  • Stimulates hair follicles to encourage hair growth.
  • Commonly used for androgenetic alopecia (pattern hair loss).


8. Supports Oral Health


  • Reduces pain and inflammation in conditions like temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ).
  • Accelerates healing after oral surgeries or tooth extractions.


 

Applications can include:


  • Medical Use: Arthritis, chronic pain, sports injuries, and neuropathy.
  • Cosmetic Use: Anti-aging, skin rejuvenation, and hair restoration.
  • Veterinary Use: Healing wounds and managing pain in animals.

LASER ACUPUNCTURE


I use laser acupuncture for patients who are uncomfortable with acupuncture or dry needling as laser acupuncture provides a pain free treatment experience. 


Using low level laser (LLLT) technology over the acupuncture points can stimulate your acupoints the same way needles do, but without piercing your skin. 


 Combining this technology with traditional and classic theories of Acupuncture allows us to combine the best of both worlds.

Please take a moment to read my blog on the difference between laser acupuncture and LLLT.


Take a look at how Acupuncture can benefit our health. 

SKIN REJUVENATION 


LLLT can be use to treat various skin problems, including:  scars, psoriasis, eczemas, burns, vitiligo, oedema, LLLT is also used to treat difficult-to-heal wounds, including wounds related to diabetes. LLLT enhances tissues elasticity which helps rejuvenates the appearance of our skin/face. 


 ...In dermatology, LLLT has beneficial effects on wrinkles, acne scars, hypertrophic scars, and healing of burns. LLLT can reduce UV damage both as a treatment and as a prophylaxis. In pigmentary disorders such as vitiligo, LLLT can increase pigmentation by stimulating melanocyte proliferation and reduce depigmentation by inhibiting autoimmunity. Inflammatory diseases such as psoriasis and acne can also benefit. The non-invasive nature and almost complete absence of side-effects..... https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4126803/#:~:text=LLLT%20can%20reduce%20UV%20damage,and%20acne%20can%20also%20benefit.
