Lasers Effective Removing Scars and Stretchmarks Reports Alternative-Beauty.com

Research into the effects of soft-light, hand-held lasers shows effective treatment in reducing scars and stretch marks reports Alternative-Beauty.com, a manufacturer, distributor, and online beauty products retailer.

Low Light Laser Therapy (LLLT), which has undergone clinical studies for years, has been proven to enhance rejuvenation of skin cells leading to improved recovery from scars and stretchmarks resulting from surgery, weight loss, injury, acne, and wound healing, even from burns. Soft light lasers have been used world-wide for nearly 30 years. Over 2500 studies have shown their effectiveness stimulating cell membranes to improve nutrient flow, promote production of enzymes, and reduce inflammation.

In their study, Laser Therapy, Clinical Practice and Scientific Background, Drs Jan Tuner and Lars Hode, note that LLLT leads to absorption of polarized light stimulating creation of singlet oxygen, increasing ATP-ase and enzymes, which in turn increases procollagen synthesis, endothelial cells, mast cells and activation of machrophages. LLLT causes an acceleration of wound healing and tissue regeneration.

Dr. Palmgren investigated the effect of soft laser therapy on infected abdominal wounds after surgery. Healing time to half wound size was 6.8 days in the laser group compared to 14 days in the placebo group. Lasers Surg Med 1991; Suppl 3:11Dr. David Gawain, Doctor of Natural Medicine, notes "One of the most important functions of soft laser therapy is to re-polarize sick and injured cellular membranes. This allows for essential nutrients to transfer from the blood into the cell. Research has shown that soft laser therapy can increase cellular ATP (body fuel) by as much as 150%. The amazing ability of soft lasers to restore energy, or photons/electrons to the cell, which causes an acceleration of wound healing and tissue regeneration…"

"An interesting theoretical model has to do with the increased production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), observed in many clinical trials. ATP acts as fuel for the cell and is produced by the mitochondrion, often referred to as the power plant of the cell. The mitochondrion has an inner membrane of large relative area, folded into a very tiny space. The surface of the membrane is packed with mushroom-shaped antenna-pigments that are receptive to photon energy - light. The mitochondrion utilizes this photon energy and transforms it into another kind of energy: ATP." adds Gawain.
