What lasers are

The word “laser” is an acronym of Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.

In physical terms, a laser beam is merely a highly concentrated wavelength of light, as the waves of which it consists are interrelated in a certain way (coherence).

Each laser has just one wavelength, so its colour is highly pure. But as it is outside the visible spectrum it cannot be seen by the human eye.

How lasers work

Laser therapy uses only what are known as “low-level” or “soft” lasers, which function with little power. They cannot be compared with the lasers used for surgery or ophthalmology, with which operations are performed. Low-level lasers stimulate the irradiated tissue without damaging it.

It has now been scientifically demonstrated that the cells of which all living things are formed communicate via the emission and reception of very weak coherent light, or in other words, by laser light (what is called “cellular radiation”).

Thus information can be transmitted from cell to cell, which is a vital function of a healthy organism. Studies have already shown, for example, that cancer cells start growing disproportionately because they have lost contact with each other.

Low-level laser light acts on the human body at various levels. Cells can be influenced by certain laser oscillations, and laser light has been shown to effect metabolism. It has also been shown to trigger regulatory processes in the brain and bone marrow, along with hormonal reactions after its application.

Therapeutic possibilities of laser light

Low-level laser light can be applied therapeutically in various areas. Below we list some of its most notable possibilities:

1. The ordering and harmonizing influence of laser light is used to “caress” surface areas of the body (e.g. in injury-healing disorders, skin disorders, etc.).

2. In LASER ACUPUNCTURE the laser is applied at certain points using the “meridian” system of traditional acupuncture. Thus it is possible to apply the wide possibilities of acupuncture treatment with no side effects for highly sensitive patients or even children, as no needles are used.

3. In HYBRID THERAPY the application of laser beams is combined with acupuncture.

4. Laser beams can also support, or even partially replace, the use of needles in AURAL ACUPUNCTURE.

5. In REFLEX ZONE THERAPY the use of lasers is recommended to complement manual stimulation.

Side effects

Laser therapy has hardly any side effects. Any possible risks involved in it can be completely averted if the safety rules and regulations are strictly complied with.

Laser therapy causes no pain whatsoever, as it consists “only” of light beams.
