Benefits of L.E.D. Therapy
1. Increase vascularity (circulation) by increasing the formation of
new capillaries, which are additional blood vessels that replace
damaged ones. New capillaries speed up the healing process by
carrying more oxygen, as well as more nutrients needed for healing,
and they can also carry more waste products away.
2. Stimulate the production of collagen. Collagen is the most
common protein found in the body. Collagen is the essential protein
used to repair damaged tissue and to replace old tissue. It is the
substance that holds cells together and has a high degree of
elasticity. By increasing collagen production, less scar tissue is formed
at the damaged site.
3. Stimulate the release of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP
is the major carrier of energy to all cells. Increases in ATP allow cells
to accept nutrients faster and get rid of waste products faster by
increasing the energy level in the cell. All food turns into ATP before it
is utilized by the cells. ATP provides the chemical energy that drives
the chemical reaction of the cell.
4. Increase lymphatic system activity. Edema, which is the
swelling or natural splinting process of the body, has two basic
components. The first is a liquid part which can be evacuated by the
blood system and the second is comprised of the proteins which have
to be evacuated by the lymphatic system. Research has shown that
the lymph vessel diameter and the flow of the lymph system can be
doubled with the use of light therapy. The venous diameter and the
arterial diameters can also be increased. This means that both parts
of edema (liquid and protein) can be evacuated at a much faster rate
to relieve swelling.
5. Increase RNA and DNA synthesis. This helps damaged cells to
be replaced more promptly.
6. Reduce the excitability of nervous tissue. The photons of light
energy enter the body as negative ions. This calls upon the body to
send positive ions like calcium among others to go to the area being
treated. These ions assist in firing the nerves thereby relieving pain.
7. Stimulate fibroblastic activity which aids in the repair
process. Fibroblasts are present in connective tissue and are
capable of forming collagen fibers.
8. Increase phagocytosis, which is the process of scavenging for
and ingesting dead or degenerated cells by phagocyte cells, for the
purpose of clean up. This is an important part of the infection fighting
process. Destruction of the infection and clean up must occur before
the healing process can take place.
9. Induce a thermal-like effect in the tissue. The light raises the
temperature of the cells through a Photo-Chemical reaction.
10. Stimulate tissue granulation and connective tissue
projections, which are part of the healing process of wounds, ulcers
or inflamed tissue.
11. Stimulate acetylcholine release. Acetylcholine causes cardiac
inhibition, vasodilation, gastrointestinal peristalsis and other
parasympathetic effects.
