There have been numerous scientific studies and there are many research articles that discuss different aspects of Low Level Laser Therapy. Laser therapy works through photo absorption. Laser light energy converts into chemical energy, which initiates a cascade of events at a cellular level.
- Laser therapy promotes healing in many conditions, because it penetrates the skin, increases ATP (energy) and activates enzymes in the targeted cells.
- Growth factor response within the cells and tissue as a result of increased ATP and protein synthesis (building up).
- Improved cell proliferation (rapid reproduction.)
- Pain relief as a result of increased endorphin release.
- Strengthening of the immune system response via increasing levels of lymphocyte (white blood cell) activity.
