How Does “PHOTO” or Light Therapy work
For the last 30 years, scientists in the United States and Europe have been researching the clinical uses of lasers. The research has partly focused on the use of low-level lasers in a process called photo-bio-stimulation which is ability to stimulate a variety of cellular functions in a non-thermal (without heat), non-destructive manner. Monochromatic light waves produced by laser light are crucial factor in photo-bio-stimulation.
Light and all electromagnetic energy travels as bundles of energy called photons. The center (nucleus) of an atom contains neutrons and protons. The nucleus is surrounded by electrons moving in specific orbits. Energy, in the form of photons, is released when the electrons change orbits. It is these bundles of energy called photons that trigger biological changes within the body. Light created by a laser of an LED device, have the ability to “concentrate” these photons. Lasers or LED machines are simply tools that create photons.
When photons are introduced onto the skin, they are absorbed by the skin and underlying tissue, triggering biological changes within the body in this photo-bi-stimulation process. Photon energy is absorbed by the DNA, activation it. The cell’s DNA then transmits this new energy to the cell calls by means of a protein and calcium transfer. Then the cell walls transform themselves into healthy shapes, allowing the cell to function again at full capacity.
The tissues exposed to light increase blood flow, thus helping g to carry vitamins and nutrients into the area where they are needed most, with no damage to surrounding tissues. As a result of increases blood flow, toxins and waste by-products are taken away from the tissues.
Light therapy is also called “photo therapy”. For instance, visible red light has been shown to effect positive changes at a cellular level on living tissues. It is very beneficial in treating problems close to the surface. Skin layers, because of their high blood and water content, absorb red light very readily. Red light can be created by a laser or by an LED- type machine.
