① Improved blood flow: capillary and artery vasodilatation that results in local heat increase.
②Biostimulation: accelerated tissues repair, stimulation of protein synthesis, ADP production, electrolyte changes in the intraand extra-cellular fluids and mitosis of fibroblasts, increase of collagen and elastin.
③According to the curve of laser absorption by targeted substance, oxyhemoglobin shows a much higher absorption interval in 650-904nm. Thus 904nm diode laser has the ideal treatment effects for vascular treatment.After absorbing laser energy, oxyhemoglobin produces thermal energy and spreads to vascular endothelial cells through conduction mechanism. In consequence, blood vessel wall is damaged and facial vascular will be treated.
904nm laser is the optimum absorption spectrum of Porphyrin vascular cells. Vascular cells absorb the high-energy laser of 904nm wavelength, solidification occurs, and finally dissipated.

 

① Natural & drug free
② Non-invasive
③ Highly effective
④No side effects
⑤ Anti-inflammatory effect.
⑥ Anti-oedema effect: lymphatic drainage stimulation.
⑦Analgesic effect.

There are some important safety factors to consider when incorporating therapeutic laser into your treatment regimen. In order to protect the retinal tissue, protective eyewear with lenses adapted to the specific wavelengths of the treatment laser is important for both humans and patients. Laser energy should not be applied to a pregnant uterus, tumors, open fontanels, growth plates or thyroid glands in immature animals. Use caution if your pet has tattoos, dark fur, or dark skin as there may be light absorption and tissue heating.

What does research show?

Most basic research on therapeutic lasers has been performed in cell cultures and humans; however, extrapolation to veterinary medicine is reasonable.

Since laser stimulates fibroblast activity, it may affect collagen production, thereby promoting the healing of wounds and burns. Bone and cartilage appear to respond well to therapeutic laser. Osteochondral lesions of the knee respond well to therapeutic laser used intraoperatively. Lasers can also support cartilage when joints must be immobilized.

The use of laser to treat osteoarthritis has been controversial in human studies. While some study participants appeared to have positive results, the overall results are unclear. Likewise, treating tendons with therapeutic lasers is controversial. Overall, however, laser treatment improves collagen fiber organization, thereby enhancing tendon and ligament healing. Although the exact mechanism of suppression of central sensitization by laser is unknown, the nervous system responds well to therapeutic laser treatment of pain.

Applying therapeutic lasers to dogs and cats

The optimal wavelength, intensity, and dose for laser treatment in pets have not been fully studied or established, but this will certainly change as studies are designed and more case-based information is reported. To maximize laser penetration, your pet's hair should be trimmed. When treating traumatic, open wounds, the laser probe should not come into contact with tissue, and when treating postoperative incisions, the daily dose for the first week after surgery is 1 J/cm2 to 3 J/cm2. Once the source of the granuloma is identified and treated, lick granulomas may benefit from laser treatment. The delivery of 1 J/cm2 to 3 J/cm2 of energy several times per week until wound healing and hair regrowth is described. The use of therapeutic lasers to treat osteoarthritis (OA) in dogs and cats is commonly described. The optimal laser dose for OA as part of a multimodal arthritis treatment plan is 8 J/cm2 to 10 J/cm2. Finally, laser treatment may benefit tendonitis due to the inflammation associated with tendonitis.
