Laser Therapy - Treatment, Side Effects & Benefits

Types of Laser Therapy

There are two main types of laser therapy used in medicine: low-level laser therapy (LLLT) and high-intensity laser therapy (HILT). LLLT stimulates tissue using a diode or semiconductor laser, while HILT uses a more powerful laser to heat and destroy tissue in a specific area. Common laser therapy systems include CO2, Er: YAG, and Nd: YAG lasers.

Low-Level Laser Therapy-  Low-level laser therapy works to stimulate and increase tissue regeneration through the release of nitric oxide and endorphins. This release helps to reduce pain, swelling, and inflammation, as well as help with muscle relaxation and regeneration.

High-Intensity Laser Therapy- High-intensity laser therapy treats various issues by destroying pathological tissues and inducing an inflammatory response. HILT is commonly used for skin treatments, such as scar removal and the treatment of sun damage. It can also be used to treat dental issues, such as cavities' ablation and fillings' preparation.

Benefits of Laser Therapy and How Physiotherapy Helps

Laser therapy has numerous potential benefits, and physiotherapy can be key in optimizing these benefits. Here are some of its benefits of it and how physiotherapy can help:

Pain Relief

• Stimulates the production of natural pain relievers while decreasing the chemicals that trigger feelings of pain.
• It can be especially helpful for individuals with chronic or acute pain related to injury or other conditions.
• Physiotherapists can use laser therapy and other techniques, such as exercise and manual therapy, to enhance their effectiveness in treating musculoskeletal conditions.

Swelling Reduction

• It can reduce swelling by increasing blood circulation and promoting faster healing.
• Enhanced drainage of toxic products.
• Physiotherapists can use laser therapy as a comprehensive treatment plan to improve overall health and well-being.

Skin Rejuvenation

• It can remove warts, moles, and acne, improving appearance.
• Physiotherapists can use laser therapy to help patients achieve their aesthetic goals as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.

By integrating laser therapy into a comprehensive physiotherapy treatment plan, patients can experience faster recovery times and more significant improvements in their overall health and well-being. Physiotherapists can help patients achieve these benefits by using laser therapy and other techniques to address their needs and goals.

Potential Risk Factors of Laser Therapy

While laser therapy is generally considered a safe and effective treatment option, there are potential risks associated with its use. Some of the potential risks of this therapy include the following:

• Skin irritation or burns from exposure to the laser
• Eye damage or vision loss from exposure to the laser
• Increased risk of skin cancer with repeated exposure to the laser
• Risk of infection if the laser is used to treat an open wound or infection

To minimize laser therapy risks, choose a qualified provider, follow post-treatment care instructions, and use it in appropriate circumstances. Laser therapy is safe and effective with a qualified provider.

Choosing the Right Laser Therapy Doctor: What to Look For

Laser therapy can be highly effective, but finding the right doctor to perform the procedure is important. To find a good doctor for laser therapy:

1. Consider their credentials, experience, reputation, technology, and communication skills.
2. Don't settle for just anyone - choose a licensed and experienced professional who uses the latest technology and equipment.
3. Don't wait any longer to start feeling better.
4. Schedule an appointment with a trusted laser therapy doctor today!

How to Prepare for Laser Therapy

Although the procedure is safe, you will need some basic preparations before therapy. The common preparations include

• Plan to provide enough time for recovery after the surgery.
• Arrange for people who can assist you back home after the procedure. You may still be under the influence of general anesthesia. 
• Consult the physician to ensure stopping the regular medications at the right time before the treatment. It will otherwise affect blood clotting, especially when the medicines contain blood thinners.

1. Anti-Inflammatory: MLS® Laser Therapy has an anti-edema effect as it causes vasodilation, but also because it activates the lymphatic drainage system which drains swollen areas. As a result, there is a reduction in swelling caused by bruising or inflammation.

2. Analgesic:  MLS® Laser Therapy has a beneficial effect on nerve cells. It blocks pain transmitted by these cells to the brain which decreases nerve sensitivity. Also, due to the decreased inflammation, there is less edema and less pain. Another pain blocking mechanism involves the production of high levels of pain killing chemicals such as endorphins and enkephalin from the brain and adrenal gland.

3. Accelerated Tissue Repair and Cell Growth: Photons of light from lasers penetrate deeply into tissue and accelerate cellular reproduction and growth. The laser light increases the energy available to the cell so that the cell can take on nutrients faster and get rid of waste products. As a result of exposure to laser light, damaged cells are repaired faster.

4. Improved Vascular Activity: Laser light will significantly increase the formation of new capillaries in damaged tissue which speeds up the healing process, closes wounds quickly and reduces scar tissue. Additional benefits include acceleration of angiogenesis, which causes temporary vasodilation and increase in the diameter of blood vessels.

5. Increases Metabolic Activity: MLS® Laser Therapy creates higher outputs of specific enzymes, greater oxygen and food particle loads for blood cells.

6. Trigger Points and Acupuncture Points: MLS® Laser Therapy stimulates muscle trigger points and acupuncture points on a noninvasive basis providing musculoskeletal pain relief.

7. Reduced Fibrous Tissue Formation: MLS® Laser Therapy reduces the formation of scar tissue following tissue damage from cuts, scratches, burns or surgery.

8. Improved Nerve Function: Slow recovery of nerve functions in damaged tissue can result in numbness and impaired limbs. Laser light speeds the process of nerve cell reconnection and increase the amplitude of action potentials to optimize muscle healing.

9. Immunoregulation: Laser light has a direct effect on immunity status by stimulating immunoglobulins and lymphocytes. Laser emissions are absorbed by chromophores (molecule enzymes) that react to laser light. Upon exposure to the laser, the enzyme flavomononucleotide is activated and starts the production of ATP (adenosinetriphosphate), which is the major carrier of cell energy and the energy source for all chemical reactions in the cells.

10. Faster Wound Healing:  Laser light stimulates fibroblast development in damaged tissue. Fibroblasts are the building blocks of collagen, which is the essential protein required to replace old tissue or to repair tissue injuries. As a result, MLS® Laser Therapy is effective post surgically and in the treatment of open wounds and burns.
