Cold Laser Costa Mesa


South West Health Professional Center of Costa Mesa uses #1 cold laser in Europe

Cold laser therapy, or low level laser therapy, is a treatment in which a cold laser is used to treat acute and chronic pain. It is also called a "soft laser." All light has an effect on the cells of the human body. What that effect is shall be determined by the wavelengths of light applied. The cold laser produces a beam of light that has a specific wavelength and frequency. When the light of the Laser is applied around a joint the electromagnetic energy is converted to chemical energy within each cell which sets in motion a chain of chemical reactions allowing the healing process to begin.
 

Biostimulation = more oxygen = more circulation= more healing potential = laser light exposure at certain wavelengths near 800 nm stimulate cellular mitochondria (the energy generators) of our cells, to produce more ATP.

More ATP = more energy = more healing

Hemoglobin, our red blood cell pigment absorbs light best at about 800nm wavelength and the most effective "biostimulation" wavelength has been found to be 632-808nm for human tissue.

How it works 

Cold laser therapy works by increasing the levels of serotonin to help your body heal itself. The therapy is noninvasive and non-thermal. The cold laser was derived from phototherapy, a light healing method developed more than 30 years ago. In phototherapy, a special type of light penetrates the surface of the skin as well as underlying tissues to stimulate natural healing in the body. The low level laser light used in cold laser therapy is actually the compressed light of a wavelength from the red part of the light spectrum, or the cold part.

During the cold laser process, the body's cells are exposed to photon energy, which in turn increases the cells' metabolism, helps to develop muscle tissue and collagen, improves blood circulation, stimulates tissue repair and the healing of wounds, and stimulates the nervous and immune systems.

Cold lasers are also used in acupuncture to stimulate the acupoints of the body without using needles.
