10 Benefits of MLS Laser Therapy

1. Anti-Inflammatory:

MLS Laser Therapy has an anti-edema effect as it causes vasodilation, activates the lymphatic drainage system which drains swollen areas, and causes a reduction in swelling from 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 glands.

3. Accelerated Tissue Repair & Cell Growth:

Photons of light from lasers penetrate deeply into tissue and accelerate cellular reproduction and growth. The laser light increases 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 significantly increases 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 increases in the diameter of blood vessels.

5. Increased metabolic Activity:

MLS laser therapy creates higher outputs of specific enzymes, greater oxygen and food particle loads for blood cells.

6. Trigger Point & Acupuncture Point Stimulation:

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 helps to reduce the formation of scar tissue after traumatic events such as cuts, scratches, burns and surgical procedures occur.

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 increases the amplitude of action potentials to optimize muscle healing.

9. Immunoregulation:

Laser light has a direct effect on immunity status by stimulating immunoglobulin 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:

Light energy 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.
