THE EFFECTS OF LASER THERAPY

When laser light penetrates the tissues, it activates photochemical reactions at cellular level, producing a variety of beneficial biological effects.

PHOTOBIOSTIMULATION

So laser therapy is actually photobiostimulation therapy

One of the most remarkable effects of LASER is the stimulation of mitochondria. Mitochondria are the energy generators of each cell. They are responsible for producing ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which serves as the cell’s energy reserve.

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is made from ADP (adenosine diphosphate) plus P (phosphate group) plus E (energy), so ATP = ADP + P + E. The more ATP a cell has, the more energy it has.

Research has shown that cells can increase their production of ATP when activated by laser light. This is particularly beneficial in cases of inflammation or degeneration, as it allows cells to recover faster.

A further key effect of high-power laser light is its significant vasoactive impact on microcirculation. This stimulation enhances the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the tissues while improving the removal of catabolic products from the tissues. Additionally, laser light accelerates lymphatic peristalsis, aiding in the absorption of interstitial fluid and reducing oedema, particularly in inflammatory and post-traumatic conditions.

ANALGESIC EFFECT

1 • Pain relief Laser therapy offers fast alleviation of muscle, joint and neuropathic pain without the risk of side effects. This advanced technology works deep within the body, interacting directly with the peripheral nervous system. Through stimulation mechanisms, laser therapy attenuates pain transmission and triggers the release of endorphins, the body's natural painkillers. In addition, by increasing blood flow to the affected area, laser therapy promotes tissue repair and supports long-term recovery. This safe and effective treatment is a proven alternative to traditional pain management methods.

BIOSTIMULATORY EFFECT

2 • Faster and complete recovery Laser therapy is characterised by its powerful biostimulatory effect, resulting in the growth of fibroblast cells. These cells are essential for the production of collagen, a key protein for extracellular matrix balance and tissue remodelling. By stimulating fibroblasts, laser therapy not only promotes the formation of new collagen, but also supports cell renewal. This process accelerates tissue healing and repair mechanisms, contributing to faster and more complete recovery. In addition, improving the extracellular matrix helps to restore the functionality of damaged tissue, making laser therapy an excellent choice for those recovering from injury or surgery. Its ability to optimise biological processes makes laser therapy an innovative and successful solution for supporting tissue health and well-being.

ANTI-INFLAMMATORY EFFECT

3 • Reducing infl ammation Laser therapy is characterised by its anti-inflammatory effect, which works by modulating inflammatory processes through various mechanisms. One of the most important is vasodilation, which increases blood flow to the affected area. This increased supply of oxygen and nutrients is crucial in reducing inflammation and accelerating healing. In addition, the laser stimulates the metabolic activity required for tissue repair. This ideal metabolic activation not only accelerates the healing process, but also acts as an anti-inflammatory treatment. In summary, the therapeutic potential of laser therapy works at both the vascular and metabolic levels, allowing the tissue healing mechanism to function.

ANTI-OEDEMA EFFECT

4 • Vascular regeneration The anti-oedema effect of laser therapy is due to its ability to stimulate the formation of new blood vessels through a process known as neoangiogenesis. This phenomenon plays an important role in restoring microcirculation and draining excess fluid accumulated during inflammatory processes. By promoting an optimal tissue environment, laser therapy facilitates the healing process and accelerates effective tissue repair, making it an optimal choice for the treatment of inflammatory and traumatic conditions.

DECONTRACTING EFFECT

5 • Flexibility restored The decontracting effect of laser therapy is based on its ability to modulate the release of oxygen from oxygenated haemoglobin. This is a powerful mechanism for treating localised problems of ischaemia and hypoxia by creating an environment suitable for the relaxation of muscle fibres. In fact, when muscles are contracted or overstretched, they can be deprived of oxygen and nutrients. Laser therapy promotes the release of oxygen, improving local microcirculation and increasing the oxygen supply to the affected muscle tissue. This process helps to treat problems of ischaemia and hypoxia, allowing the muscle fibres to relax and restore their correct functional balance. Consequently, the decontracting effect of the laser not only relieves muscle tension but also promotes the restoration of normal flexibility. This combined effect makes laser therapy an effective treatment for preventing muscle contractures, improving mobility and promoting rapid and lasting recovery.
