ABOUT SYSTEMIC LOW-LEVEL-LASER THERAPY

Biochemical Mechanisms • In general, there are specific cellular structures that are able to absorb specific wavelengths (colors) of light (known as photoreceptors) • The light stimulus gives a cellular signal affecting the chemical behavior, metabolism, movement and gene expression • All associated enzymes and/or proteins are now affected • This cascade event can ripple across an entire cell Hamblin: http://photobiology.info/Hamblin.ht

Absorption of Difference Light Wavelengths (Colors) in Mitochondria One example for the absorption of different colors within cells is the process in the mitochondrial respiratory chain [21] Complex 1 (NADH dehydrogenase) absorbs blue and ultraviolet light Complex 3 (cytochrome c reductase) absorbs green and yellow light Complex 4 (cytochrome c oxidase) absorbs red and infrared lig

History of Systemic Light Therapy 1. UV Light Therapy (UVBI): • In 1903 a Nobel Price was awarded for the observation that cutaneous TB can be cured by UV light. The practice of UV light therapy began in the 1920s when a UV therapy device was developed for extracorporeal treatment of the blood by Emmet Knott The technique was called Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation (UVBI), Hematogenous Oxygenation Therapy (HOT) or Extracorporeal Photophoresis At that time, the therapy was conducted extracorporally (withdrawal of 60 cc's of blood, brief irradiation with UV light and return into patient’s...

History of Systemic Light Therapy 2. Systemic Laser Therapy in Russia: • The method of intravenous laser blood irradiation was first introduced into therapy by the Soviet scientists E.N.Meschalkin and V.S.Sergiewski in 1981 [37] for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases A red light laser (632nm) with a power of 1-3 mW was used for 20-60 min Improvement of rheologic properties of the blood as well as improvement of microcirculation and reduction of the area of infarction had been proved. Further reductions of dysrhythmia and sudden cardiac death occurred [5,24] In the years after, many...

History of Systemic Light Therapy First machine with red laser 635nm according to Russian technology was approved in Europe in 2005 First case studies on patients confirmed Russian data Distribution of technology started with simulatenous collection of data and studies from different clinics In 2007 first green diode was developed In 2008 first blue diode was developed In 2013 first yellow diode was developed In 2016 first ultraviolet diode was d

WEBER MEDICAL AND THE WEBERNEEDLE® ENDOLASER
