The Erchonia lasers use low-level laser therapy (LLLT) to alter cellular functions and provide noticeable pain relief. Similar to photosynthesis in plants, LLLT has a photochemical effect that naturally reduces oxidative stress and increases the production of ATP.
No Pain | No Downtime | No Risk | No Side-effects | FDA Market Cleared
Low level laser therapy (LLLT) or cold laser, is a painless, sterile, non-invasive, drug-free modality that is used for a variety of conditions such as, acute and chronic pain, body-contouring, acne and appearance of cellulite
Housed within the mitochondria, the cell energy manufacturer, are receptors capable of absorbing distinct parameters of light. Think of these receptors like any drug receptors. When we consume a prescription medication, the compound is absorbed by the body and it locates a particular receptor; based upon its molecular design, will bind to that receptor. Once the drug binds, a secondary reaction inside the cell takes place. A similar mechanism is observed when exposing the body to a particular color of light. During a laser treatment, the light will penetrate the skin and is absorbed by this receptor within the mitochondria. Receptor stimulation with light promotes energy production, biochemical reactions, protein and growth factor synthesis, cell growth and proliferation and enhanced blood and oxygen flow.
Everyday in the US, 40 Americans die from prescription painkiller abuse, the CDC says. Overdoses of opioid prescription drugs now kill more people in the US than overdoses from heroin and cocaine combined according to WebMD.
● Two thirds said their OTC medications were not effective, and 52% of those taking prescription medications said they were not effective. Source.● Overdoses involving opioids killed more than 42,000 people in 2016. 40% of those deaths were from prescription opioids. Source CDC.
The Erchonia lasers use low-level laser therapy (LLLT) to alter cellular functions and provide noticeable pain relief. Similar to photosynthesis in plants, LLLT has a photochemical effect that naturally reduces oxidative stress and increases the production of ATP. Healthcare professionals can use the powers of this innovative technology to target numerous painful conditions they see daily.
The broad use of these lasers make cold laser therapy an ideal choice for chiropractors, doctors, physical therapists and other professionals.
Ask your doctor about the benefits of low level lasers and learn how the Erchonia® lasers can work to treat pain... The answers are simpler than you might think.
What is LOW LEVEL LASER THERAPY?
Low level laser therapy is a form of alternative medicine that uses laser light at low levels. The light is applied to the surface skin of the body with the intentions of decreasing pain or inflammation, promoting healing of wounds, tissues, and nerves, or for preventing tissue damage. This is much different than the high-level lasers that we know for surgical procedures to cut and destroy unhealthy tissue.
Does it HURT?
No, Erchonia’s low level lasers do not heat or freeze the skin.
How Long Do TREATMENTS TAKE?
The duration of treatment depends on the condition and severity of that condition being treated. Most treatments range from 3-10 minutes.
How Does LOW LEVEL LASER THERAPY WORK?
Low level laser therapy is said to work through a photochemical effect (which also occurs with photosynthesis in plants). When cells inside tissue are stressed via disease and injury, the mitochondria (or powerhouse/place where metabolism takes place inside a cell) produces harmful nitric oxide. The nitric oxide displaces needed oxygen from cells thus causing inflammation or cell death. When tissues absorb the light from the low-level laser therapy, the nitric oxide is dissociated (or irreversibly split) allowing more oxygen back into the cells and therefore increasing tissue oxygenation. Via this mechanism, cell metabolism and mitochondria function is restored allowing health of the tissue. The absorption of the light is also said to increase cell proliferation and migration (regeneration) and to modulate levels of growth factors and inflammatory mediators.
