Just as mobile phones, MedSolution's low level laser therapy devices have become increasingly smaller, without compromising quality. Portable, easy to use and highly effective, they represent a significant step forward in the progression of laser therapy, making it accessible to all.
Hungarian physician and surgeon, Endre Mester, began his pioneering research into laser phototherapy in the 1960s. His groundbreaking work resulted in numerous publications on the outstanding therapeutic successes he observed. Mester's achievements showed the beneficial effects of laser light therapy on traumatised tissues, clearly demontrating its wide range of therapeutic applications in the field of medicine.
At the time of Mester's research, laser technology was in its infancy. The early helium neon gas lasers lacked power, producing output as low as only 0.5 m W to just 2 m W. However, the research and experiments continued with rapid technological advances taking place. Soon, semiconductor laser diodes were developed. Laser diodes offer many advantages over the early gas lasers. Laser diodes are small and portable, whilst also practical and long lasting.
Scientists soon recognised that there is a minimum quantity of energy (ie. 2 - 4 J / cm²) that must be delivered to the tissues for optimum therapeutic effects. Amongst important variables to consider are the depth of the treated tissues and the wavelength employed by the laser.
It became clear during the research that laser light is different to the light from other light sources (ie. infrared lamps). The laser light bio-stimulates tissues, accelerating biochemical and metabolic processes in cells. The biostimulation effects of laser light play the most important role in healing, rehabilitation and recoveries from many different ailments.
The progress in the development of laser phototherapy continued. In the 1980s, the first pulsed lasers entered the market. At the start of the 1990s, the spectrum of laser therapy devices grew with the introduction of the 'hard lasers'. The 'hard lasers' are today used in surgery as the 'light scalpels' to cut and/or ablate tissues. The 'hard lasers' are also commonly used to remove tattoos and to permanently remove hair.
Low Level Laser Therapy continues to be popular amongst scientists and researchers. There are now over 2500 studies available for reference, including double blind clinical trials conducted worldwide. Click here to read studies on Low Level Laser Therapy for Cosmetic Application.
