Endodermic Massage for slimming and fat reduction.

In order to remove fat, it is necessary to stimulate cells and deeply decongestion tissues, in combination with an endodermic massage. The synergy of both the methodologies is more successful than other units on the market exploiting just one technology.

  1. At the dermic level
    The endodermic massage improves the extra-cellular interstitial, which promotes an easier elimination of the residual metabolites through the vascular and lymphatic system.

  2. At the vascular level
    The endodermic massage stimulates better drainage in both the superficial and the deep blood and lymphatic circulation.
  3. At the tissue level
    The endodermic massage breaks the cellulite mass and hard-fibres, giving thus more elasticity and allowing body re-shaping.

  4. At the neurological level
    The endodermic massage stimulates both the superficial and deep parts of the sympathetic system. This action stimulates all the sensorial skin receptors, so improving the skin sensitivity and the reflexes.

Treatments are safe, pain free and highly effective.

•  All the Laser Chromotherapy Treatments are painless and without any side effect.

What is a Laser ?

A Laser is an amplifier of light. The letters LASER are an acronym, signifying “ light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation “.

What are the properties of laser light ?

There are two properties :

    1. Monochromatic. Laser light has a very narrow bandwidth.
    2. Coherent. The light is well ordered and synchronous.

Like a musical instrument holding a single note, a laser emits pure light at a specific wavelength rather than over the wide spectral distribution of most light sources. Laser light is extremely well-organized. Photons emitted from a laser source have been compared to soldiers marching in precise order. We call this coherence; it is an exclusive property of lasers.

Two common misconceptions about lasers are that 1. beams are always parallel and 2. all lasers are high-powered. Therapeutic lasers are often designed with divergent beams as a safety precaution, and they may operate at very low levels of power.

What is low-level laser therapy and who can use it ?

LLLT is the therapeutic application of laser light at low intensity. It is commonly performed using lasers in the near infrared or visible, red portions of the spectrum. As a contrast to surgical lasers which usually have output of 500 milliwatts or less and are classified by the FDA as non-significant risk devices.

What are the effects of LLLT ?

The physiological effects of laser light at low intensity are not completely understood, but what is known from a biochemical model is often summarized in terms of three main effects :

  • Bio-stimulation / Tissue regeneration
  • Anti-inflammatory
  • Analgesic

LLLT increases metabolism at the cellular level, causing accelerated ATP production; protein synthesis ; DNA and RNA formation; and many positive markers. At the tissue level, circulation increases during and after the administration of LLLT ; new blood and lymphatic vessels are formed; and collagen synthesis is enhanced. The biochemical model attributes pain relief to a host of factors, including elevated endorphins and acetylcholine; nerve blockade; decreased syhthesis of bradykinin; decreased release of histamine; and increased microcirculation to correct ischemia and acidosis.

How does one integrate LLLT into Oriental medicine ?

Just as depth of insertion and technique alter the effects of traditional needling, so may wavelength, power and pulsing modify the energetic response by the body of LLLT. Light is an energetic bias like needles, electrical stimulation and herbs. The body's response is activated by differences.

Are there risks associated with LLLT ?

There is no destruction of tissue and relatively little risk associated with low power lasers.

While low level lasers are comparatively safe, there is a potential for damage to the eye. The beam in LLLT, if directed through the lens of the eye, could burn the retina. In over 30 years of research and clinical practice, however, an adverse reaction of this or any type has never been documented.

To operate a laser safely, it is important to understand the nature of one's equipment. The power, wavelength and characteristics of the laser beam (its divergence, convergence or parallel nature ) all influence the level or risk. Knowledge may be even more valuable than protective goggles.

Obviously, a high power laser is much riskier than a weak one. An infrared laser poses a greater risk than a visible, red laser with the same power and beam characteristics because the light is invisible and therefore does not promote a blink response.

What can Laser Therapy treat ?

Therapeutic applications which have shown promising results based on studies include :

Acne. Arthritis. Back Pain. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Cerebral Palsy. Dental Applications. Fibromyalgia. Hearing Disorders. Herpes. Hypertension. Lymphedema. Maxillofacial Disorders. Meniere's Disease. Nerve regeneration. Neuralgia. Neuropathy. Pain (Musculoskeletal, Myofascial, Nerve ). Peyronie's Disease. Prostatitis. Sinusitis. Scars. Skin Disorders. Sjoegren's Syndrome. Sports Injuries. Tendonitis. Tinnitus. Wound Healing .

Is there a physical difference between laser and LED /or other light sources ?

Yes there is, Laser light has unique physical properties, that no ordinary light has. This is the key to why laser light is so effective compared to other kinds of light in healing.

Is Laser Therapy scientifically well documented ?

Basicly yes. There are more than 100 double-blind positive studies confiming the clinical effect of LLLT. More than 2500 research reports are published. Looking at the limited LLLT dental literature alone (370 studies), more than 90% of these studies do verify the clinical value of laser therapy.

But I've heard that there're dozens of studies failing to find any effect of LLLT?

That is true. But you cannot just take any laser and irradiate for any length of time and using any technique. A closer look at the majority of the negative studies will reveal serious flaws. But LLLT will naturally not work on anything. Competent research certainly has failed to demonstrate effect in several indications. However, as with any treatment, it is a matter of dosage, diagnosis, treatment technique and individual reaction.

How deep into the tissue can a laser penetrate ?

The depth of penetration of laser light depends on the light's wavelength, on whether the laser is super-pulsed, and on the power output, but also on the technical design on the apparatus and the treatment technique used. A laser designed for the treatment of humans is rarely suitable for treating animals with fur. There are, in fact, lasers specially made for this purpose. The special design feature here is that the laser diode(s) obtrude from the treatment probe rather like the teeth on a comb. By delving between the animal's “hair”, the laser diode's glass surface comes in contact with the skin and all the light from the laser is “forced” into the tissue.

A factor of importance here is the compressive removal of blood in the target tissue. When you press lightly with a laser probe against skin, the blood flows to the sides, ao that the tissue right in front of the probe ( and some distance into the tissue ) is fairly empty of blood. As the haemoglobin in the blood is responsible for most of the absorption, this mechanical removal of the blood greatly increases the depth of penetration of the laser light.

It is of no importance whether the light from a laser probe, held in contact with skin is a parallel beam or not. There is no exact limit with respect to the penetration of the light. The light gets weaker and weaker the further from the surface it penetrates. There is , however, a limit at which the light intensity is so low that no biological effect of the light can be registered. This limit, where the effect ceases, is called the greatest active depth. In addition to the factors mentioned above, this depth is also contingent on tissue type, pigmentation, and dirt on the skin. It is worth noting that laser light can even penetrate bone ( as well as it can penetrate muscle tissue ). Fat tissue is more transparent than muscle tissue.

For example: a HeNe Laser with a power output of 3.5mW has a greatest active depth of 6-8 mm depending on the type of tissue involved. A HeNe laser with an output of 7mW has a greatest active depth of 8-10 mm. a GaAIAs probe of some strength has a penetration of 35mm with a 55mm lateral spread. A GaAs laser has a greatest active depth of between 20 and 30 mm ( sometimes down to 40-50 mm), depending on its peak pulse output (around a thousand time greater than its average power output). If you are working in direct contact with the skin, and press the probe against the skin, then the greatest active depth will be achieved.

Can LLLT cause cancer ?

The answer is no. no mutational effects have been observed resulting from light with wavelengths in the red or infra-red range and of doses used within LLLT. But what happens if I treat someone who has cancer and is unaware of it ? Can the cancer's growth be stimulated? The effects of LLLT on cancer cells in vitro have been studied, and it was observed that they can be stimulated by laser light. However, with respect to a cancer in vivo, the situation is rather different. Experiments on rats have shown that small tumours treated with LLLT can recede and completely disappear, although laser treatment had no effect on tumours over a certain size. It is probably the local immune system which is stimulated more than the tumour. The situation is the same for bacteria and virus in culture. These are stimulated in vitro by laser light in certain doses, while a bacterial or viral infection is cured much quicker after the treatment with LLLT.

What happens if I use a too high dose ?

You will have a biosuppressive effect. That means that, for instance, the healing of a wound will take longer time than normally. Very high doses on healthy tissues will not damage them.

LASER as a Therapeutic tool

Lasers have been used safely as a therapeutic tool for over 30 years. Laser Therapy (LT) differs from the use of lasers in surgery due to a lower output power and reduced energy density. Instead of ablating tissue, LT stimulates cellular activity that improves the speed and quality of healing. In over 1800 publications worldwide, LT has demonstrated its non-invasive, non-toxic quality, and its ability to augment and in some cases, replace, pharmaceuticals and surgical intervention. LT is most often used as a primary medical treatment, but is also effective as a complement to other modalities, such as needle acupuncture and chiropractic adjustment. Acupuncturists, Chiropractors, Physical Therapists, Dentists, Osteopaths and M.D's currently use LT for a variety of problems; including the treatment of acute pain and chronic degenerative conditions, improving the speed and quality of wound healing, and for muscle, tendon and ligament injuries.

How is Laser Therapy Administered ?

LT is usually conducted in an outpatient clinic setting or professional Beauty Salon, and requires no unusual equipment or precautions except that safety glasses are normally recommended for the patient and therapist.

The laser is held against the skin in a contact mode (OSHIRO), applying the maximum amount of laser light to the area of consideration. Many therapists recommend applying light to firm pressure to the area to distress the underlying blood vessels and tissue to improve the penetration of the energy. The laser is applied at a given power output for a specified period of time, to deliver the proper amount of laser energy, measured in joules. Dosages can range from 1 joule up to 30 or more, depending upon the condition being treated and the schedule of treatments. A wavelength is chosen which meets the absorption requirements of the condition, with wounds and aesthetic conditions benefiting from higher absorption (lower wavelengths). Normally , multiple treatments are needed to resolve chronic conditions and injuries. Laser can be directed to acupuncture points,

trigger points, nerve endings and directly to the specific injury. Recent findings conclude that, with few exceptions, patients do better when treatment begins as quickly as possible.
