Softlaser device

Which device should I choose?

Several factors must be considered when selecting the right device. The most important factors are the nature, depth of the problem you want to treat, and the purpose of use.

Softlaser devices can be used for numerous health issues, for example:

Benefits and mechanism of softlaser therapy

Softlaser therapy has numerous benefits, the most important being pain relief, inflammation reduction, tissue regeneration, and acceleration of the healing process.

Softlaser therapy is non-invasive, requires no surgery, and causes no side effects. It can be used at home, making it a convenient and cost-effective solution.

Softlaser wavelength ranges and effects

The physiological effect of softlaser mainly depends on wavelength and output energy. Softlasers typically work in the 600–1000 nm range, where each wavelength has specific effects and penetration depths.

Wavelength-specific effects

Effective applications of softlaser therapy

Softlaser therapy has proven effective in many areas.

In musculoskeletal diseases, such as chronic arthritis, cartilage degeneration, tendonitis, and muscle pain, softlaser therapy has significant pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory effects.

Excellent results can also be achieved in dermatological problems like hard-to-heal wounds, ulcers, scars, and burns with softlaser treatment.

It is also effective for neurological diseases, including nerve pain, trigeminal neuralgia, and diabetic neuropathy.

During dental treatments, such as post-surgical healing, gum inflammation, and oral ulcers, softlaser therapy can be applied.

Thus, softlaser therapy is widely applicable and provides effective assistance in treating numerous conditions.

Contraindications and risks

Although softlaser therapy is generally safe, there are certain contraindications and risks:

Absolute contraindications

• Direct treatment of the eye
• Direct treatment of malignant tumors
• Bleeding disorders
• Treatment of the abdominal area during pregnancy

Relative contraindications

• Treatment of the thyroid gland area
• Epilepsy
• Use of photosensitizing medications
• Feverish conditions

Side effects of softlaser therapy

Softlaser therapy is usually safe and does not cause serious side effects. However, like any treatment method, it can cause some mild side effects, including skin irritation, temporary pain, or inflammation at the treated area.

These side effects are generally mild and short-lived, disappearing quickly after the treatment ends.

It is important to always follow the provided protocol during treatment. Seek advice if you have any questions or issues during softlaser therapy.

General rules for softlaser treatment

The success of softlaser treatment greatly depends on adhering to the proper application protocol. The most important points are:

Dosage

Ensuring the correct energy density (J/cm²) during treatment is crucial. The optimal dose usually ranges between 1-10 J/cm² depending on the condition treated and tissue type.

Treatment time

The treatment time is determined by the device's power and desired dose. Typically, treating one point lasts from 10 seconds to a few minutes.

Treatment frequency

For acute cases, 1-2 treatments per day are recommended. For chronic conditions, 2-3 treatments per week may suffice (but usually once daily).

Treatment series

Complete healing takes time, as changes in the body develop gradually. Some conditions may require 8-15 treatments, while long-standing and chronic conditions may need 60-90 days. This largely depends on the underlying disease and its severity.

Deeper background: What is a laser?

A laser is a special light source that emits very narrow, directed light. The word "laser" means "light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation."

Laser light has a single wavelength, is directional, and parallel. Therefore, it can be well focused and penetrate deeply into the body without damaging tissues.

Safety instructions

Laser class 1 devices emit low energy and can be safely used without protective glasses.

During treatment with class 3 and 4 laser devices, use of protective glasses is mandatory for both operator and patient.

Class IV laser devices may only be used by qualified healthcare professionals.

Summary

Softlaser therapy is a safe and effective treatment method that, when applied correctly, can help treat many conditions.

The key to success is choosing the right device, applying the correct dose and treatment protocol, and complying with contraindications and safety instructions.

Ongoing research and development will likely expand therapeutic applications and make this modern medical method even more effective.
