By the end of the 1960's Endre Mester in Hungary was reporting an improved healing of wounds through low-level laser therapy. Since then, scientist and doctors around the world have been using laser light to treat conditions that can affect all age groups. What is Low-Level Laser Therapy Low-Level Laser Therapy is the application of red and near infrared light over injuries or wounds to improve soft tissue healing and relieve both acute and chronic pain. Low-level therapy uses cold (sub thermal) laser light energy to direct bio-stimulative light energy to the body's cells without injuring or damaging them in any way. The therapy is precise and accurate. It offers safe and effective treatment for a wide variety of conditions. How Does Low-Level Laser Therapy Work? Low-level lasers supply energy to the body in the form of non-thermal photons of light. Light is transmitted through the skin's layers at all wavelengths in the visible range. However, light waves in the near infrared ranges penetrate the deepest of all light waves in the visible spectrum. When low-level laser light waves penetrate deeply into the skin, they optimize the immune responses of our blood. This has both anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects. It is a scientific fact that light transmitted to the blood in this way has positive effects throughout the whole body, supplying vital oxygen and energy to every cell.
