General information on intravenous laser
The intravenous laser is a latest generation vascular healing method that uses a laser instrument low power; the intravenous laser is applied by inserting an intravascular optical fiber by means of a "needle cannula, similar to a small intravenous catheter.
The mechanism of action of the intravenous laser exploits the action of a device such as infusion photonics that acts more or less intensely on the circulation based on two adjustable parameters: wavelength and intensity of the energy.
Intravenous laser applications
Although the intravenous laser does not include risks of a chemical-pharmacological or autoimmune nature, its use must still be well weighted according to the intervention to be carried out, regulating both the wavelength and the intensity of the energy.
The pathologies to be treated with the intravenous laser can be grouped according to the specific wavelength of the process; respectively:
- Stroke and chronic cerebral ischemia (cerebro vascular diseases)
- Ischemic heart disease and arterial hypertension (cardiovascular diseases)
- Asthma, chronic bronchitis and emphysema (lung diseases)
- Rheumatoid arthritis (autoimmune disease)
- Chronic pancreatitis and peptic ulcer (gastrointestinal diseases)
- Diabetes Mellitus (endocrine pathology)
- Allergies
- Neurological suffering
Mechanism of action of the intravenous laser
The action mechanisms of the intravenous laser are based on a simple concept but at the same time not very widespread or considered: the photosensitivity of hemoglobin (Hb - protein containing the "heme" group, therefore iron, contained in red blood cells). This transport protein physically reacts to the photons of the intravenous laser by increasing the transport of oxygen (but not only); it is therefore easy to understand how a similar mechanism can benefit the body if affected by respiratory and / or blood circulation diseases.
Hemoglobin is NOT the only photosensitive molecule; in the same way some enzymes react to the laser such as the "AMP kinasi, the cyclooxygenase and the cytochrome p450. In essence, therefore, this technique causes an improvement in microcirculation and an "activation of the detoxifying capacities of the body", improving for example the parameters of liver function in case of liver pain.
Having clear what cellular mechanism is to be solicited for the treatment of the specific disease, it is sufficient to apply the intravenous laser, penetrating the superficial tissues and striking those affected with the necessary wavelength and intensity of energy.
We also remind you that, from the outside, the laser can reach the vascular system only through high wavelengths and intensities (infrared), while using the intravenous laser it is possible to obtain a "higher efficacy even with less intense light (reducing side effects ).
Intravenous laser technical procedure
The procedure for the application of the intravenous laser can be summarized in a few steps:
- Insertion of the needle cannula into the vein of the arm
- Connecting the disposable optical fiber to the laser device
- Insertion of the optical fiber inside the needle cannula, down to the vein of the arm
- According to the therapeutic need, choice of laser wavelength: 405nm, 535nm, 632nm and 810nm (colors red, green, blue, etc.)
Duration of treatment: about 30 ".
If what has been described up to now in theory had the same practical implications in medical treatment, the intravenous laser could acquire considerable importance in the therapy of numerous pathologies and above all vascular ones with relative tissue complications.
