If you live with psoriasis, you’ve probably heard of light therapy as a treatment option. It’s important to clarify: medical laser treatment for psoriasis and home softlaser therapy are not the same. In this article I explain the differences and what someone can realistically expect if they want to treat their psoriasis with a home softlaser device.

Acne is the most common skin condition and it does not affect only teenagers — it can persist or recur in adulthood for many people. Conventional treatments (creams, antibiotics, isotretinoin) do not work for everyone and can have side effects. Light therapy, including soft lasers, can offer an alternative approach. In this article I honestly review what we know and what we don’t about soft laser treatment for acne.

If you have a chronic condition — whether it's lower back pain, joint wear, or recurring inflammations — you surely know this situation:
You go to the hospital. They examine you. They treat you for a few days. Then they send you home — but you're not cured.
Your first reaction: anger, disappointment. "Why don't they do more? Why do they send me home half-finished?"
This article answers why the system works this way — and, more importantly: what you can do about it.

When we talk about home medical devices, most people think only about treating illnesses. Low back pain, arthritis, muscle tension – and the devices that can help.
But there is something few know: the same technologies that treat illnesses have proven effective in other areas as well.
This is not marketing copy. It is one of the most exciting developments in modern physical therapy.

If you've made it this far, you already know: modern physiotherapy technologies can be applied in many areas. But now comes the real question:
Which one should I choose?
This isn't a simple question because every technology works differently. Electricity is not the same as light. Magnetism does something different than ultrasond. And what is excellent for one problem might not be the best choice for another. In this article I review the main technologies so that you can make an informed decision.

From one day to the next you cannot close your eye, one side of your mouth droops, and a stranger is staring back at you in the mirror. Facial nerve paralysis – medically called Bell's palsy – is a frightening experience, but in most cases it is treatable. The key is to start a comprehensive treatment as soon as possible, in which softlaser therapy and electrostimulation can play an important role.

Does your hand go numb at night? Are you woken by pain instead of an alarm clock because your fingers tingle as if ants were walking on them? Do you feel a burning pain above the wrist that radiates into the thumb, index and middle fingers? If you experience these symptoms, you are likely suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) — and you are not alone.
Carpal tunnel syndrome is the most common peripheral nerve compression, affecting 3–5% of the adult population, and it can be up to six times more common in women than in men.¹ The good news: mild and moderate cases can be effectively treated conservatively — including with low-level laser therapy — without surgery.

You take training seriously – but how much attention do you pay to recovery? If you struggle with muscle soreness, tendon problems or recurring injuries as an athlete, soft laser therapy (LLLT) can help you get back on the field faster. Scientific research increasingly supports its effectiveness across several areas.
In this article I will show which sports injuries can be treated with a soft laser, how to apply it, what the latest meta-analyses say, and how to incorporate it into your at-home recovery routine.

Soft laser therapy (LLLT/photobiomodulation) is one of the safest physical therapy methods – but that does not mean it is suitable for everyone and every situation. If you use a home softlaser device, or are planning to buy one, it is important to know the contraindications and the rules for safe use.
In this article I summarize when NOT to use a soft laser, what precautions to take, and what side effects you can expect – based on scientific research and professional guidelines.

Soft laser therapy – scientifically known as photobiomodulation (PBM) – has a history of more than half a century. From the accidental discovery in 1967 to the present, thousands of scientific studies have investigated its mechanism of action and clinical applications. But what do the scientific evidences actually say? How strong is the evidence base? And what can we trust, and where should we be more cautious?
In this article you'll get a comprehensive picture of the scientific background of soft laser therapy – from the mechanism of action through clinical evidence to current professional guidelines.

Gingivitis, aphthous ulcers, temporomandibular joint pain, or a tooth-extraction site that won’t heal — familiar situations? Soft laser therapy (photobiomodulation) is becoming increasingly popular in dentistry, and good news: it can be used not only in the clinic but also at home. In this article I’ll show which oral complaints you can treat effectively and what the scientific research says.
