Lasers Effective Removing Scars and Stretchmarks Reports Alternative-Beauty.com
Alternative-Beauty.com today reports that Low Light Laser Therapy (LLLT), which has undergone clinical studies for years, has been proven effective in reducing scars and stretchmarks resulting from surgery, weight loss, injury, acne, and wound healing, even from burns. Soft light lasers have been used world-wide for nearly 30 years, and over 2500 studies have shown their effectiveness stimulating skin cell membranes to improve nutrient flow, promote production of enzymes, and reduce inflammation.
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) October 8, 2007 -- Research into the effects of soft-light, hand-held lasers shows effective treatment in reducing scars and stretch marks reports Alternative-Beauty.com, a manufacturer, distributor, and online beauty products retailer.
Low Light Laser Therapy (LLLT), which has undergone clinical studies for years, has been proven to enhance rejuvenation of skin cells leading to improved recovery from scars and stretchmarks resulting from surgery, weight loss, injury, acne, and wound healing, even from burns. Soft light lasers have been used world-wide for nearly 30 years. Over 2500 studies have shown their effectiveness stimulating cell membranes to improve nutrient flow, promote production of enzymes, and reduce inflammation.
In their study, Laser Therapy, Clinical Practice and Scientific Background, Drs Jan Tuner and Lars Hode, note that LLLT leads to absorption of polarized light stimulating creation of singlet oxygen, increasing ATP-ase and enzymes, which in turn increases procollagen synthesis, endothelial cells, mast cells and activation of machrophages. LLLT causes an acceleration of wound healing and tissue regeneration.
Dr. Palmgren investigated the effect of soft laser therapy on infected abdominal wounds after surgery. Healing time to half wound size was 6.8 days in the laser group compared to 14 days in the placebo group. Lasers Surg Med 1991; Suppl 3:11
Dr. David Gawain, Doctor of Natural Medicine, notes "One of the most important functions of soft laser therapy is to re-polarize sick and injured cellular membranes. This allows for essential nutrients to transfer from the blood into the cell. Research has shown that soft laser therapy can increase cellular ATP (body fuel) by as much as 150%. The amazing ability of soft lasers to restore energy, or photons/electrons to the cell, which causes an acceleration of wound healing and tissue regeneration…"
"An interesting theoretical model has to do with the increased production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), observed in many clinical trials. ATP acts as fuel for the cell and is produced by the mitochondrion, often referred to as the power plant of the cell. The mitochondrion has an inner membrane of large relative area, folded into a very tiny space. The surface of the membrane is packed with mushroom-shaped antenna-pigments that are receptive to photon energy - light. The mitochondrion utilizes this photon energy and transforms it into another kind of energy: ATP." adds Gawain.
Low Level Laser Therapy-a conservative approach to the burn scar?
Burns. 2004 30(4):362-367.
Gaida K, Koller R, Isler C, Aytekin O et al.
Burn scars are known to be difficult to treat because of their tendency to worsen with hypertrophy and contracture. Various experimental and clinical efforts have been made to alleviate their effects but the problem has not been solved. Since patients keep asking for Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) and believe in its effectiveness on burn scars, and since former studies show contradictory results of the influence of LLLT on wound healing, this prospective study was designed to objectify the effects of LLLT on burn scars. Nineteen patients with 19 burn scars were treated with a 400mW 670nm Softlaser twice a week over 8 weeks. In each patient a control area was defined, that was not irradiated. Parameters assessed were the Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS) for macroscopic evaluation and the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for pruritus and pain. Photographical and clinical assessments were recorded in all the patients. Seventeen out of 19 scars exhibited an improvement after treatment
