It provides energy and facilitates the metabolic processes essential to life. The lasers are the latest and the most advanced light sources. They generate artificial light and amplify it into focused intense beams of light. Laser technology plays a growing role in many aspects of modern life, including medicine and aesthetics. Non-invasive low level laser therapy - cold laser therapy or soft laser therapy - has a bright future! PLEASE NOTE THAT THE MOST RECENT TERMINOLOGY REFERS TO LLLT AS LASER PHOTOTHERAPY LOW LEVEL LASERS OR COLD LASERS ARE NOW REFERRED TO AS LASER PHOTOTHERAPY DEVICES When laser light is absorbed by a living tissue, it triggers biological reactions in the cells. Variety of endogenous chemical substances are produced in the cells and carried by blood and lymphatic flow to other parts of the system. Hence, the effects of cold laser light may not be only local, but can also achieve wide systemic effects. Therapeutic effects of low level laser light irradiation include the following:
If a person has
insufficient levels of ATP available, the energy cannot reach the tissues. This
can lead to a variety of health problems, such as a susceptibility to
infectious diseases, poor wound healing, inflammation and swellings.
Low level laser therapy devices - cold lasers - soft lasers - have been in medical and veterinary use for some 35 years. In the USA, the FDA recently approved therapeutic/medical low level lasers for human use, because of their excellent safety with no significant risks attached. To date, much efforts have been vested in research into the effectiveness of the LLLT - cold laser therapy - and its applications in medicine, dermatology and anti-aging indications. Currently, the Internet provides a wealth of information about the developments in laser therapies as well as about specifications and availability of different laser devices. For more detailed information about the LLLT (laser phototherapy), we recommend a book from Prima Books, entitled 'Laser Therapy Handbook' by Jan Tuner and Lars Hode and other books and clinical guides to laser therapy as presented in the LLLT Books section of our website. You can also visit www.laser.nu You will also find more information about low level laser therapy on the other relevant to lasers and laser therapy pages of our website as listed below. On our website you can find different biostimulation devices (PalmLaser Home and Clinic Soft laser, LaserCat Professional Use Cold Laser, Beurer SL30 SoftLaser,, RhinoBeam Forte LED and magnetic Field Device, HairMax LaserComb and HairMax LaserComb SE ):

Laser Phototherapy
The main and the most important effect of laser light on cells is the accelerated
production of the ATP (Adenosine TriPhosphate). ATP molecules are found in the
cells of all living things. In animal and human systems, Adenosine TriPhosphate is
synthesised in small cellular organelles called mitochondria. In the
mitochondria, the primary cellular energy source - the ATP - is produced by
combining oxygen with sugar derived from food. 
ATP
can be described as the 'energy carrier' or the 'energy shuttle' capable of
harnessing the
chemical energy generated from the breakdown of the foodstuffs and transporting
it across cellular membranes for conversion
into 'fuel' that is required for normal body functioning. Adenosine TriPhosphate
is often referred to as the 'energy currency of life'. 
In short - the low
level laser therapy devices (soft lasers or cold lasers) deliver light into
living tissues (this process is also referred to as 'phototherapy'), increasing
the ATP and shuttling more energy and nutrients around the body for healthy
metabolism and the appropriate functioning of organs. Please note that
therapeutic cold lasers - also called cold lasers or soft lasers - are not 'heat lamps' and they do not cause perceptible tissue
heating or even warming. Cold laser light does not heat treated tissues. The Low
Level Laser Therapy - also called Cold Laser Therapy and/or Soft Laser
Therapy - exerts photochemical effects rather than thermal.
