Best Laser Treatments - Pain Management without Pills!

In this post, Best Laser Treatments will investigate the use of the low level laser for pain management.

Many people suffer from chronic pain? What they really need is pain management, but don’t want to take drugs that have side effects ... wouldn't it be even better if the source of the pain could be fixed! Low level laser treatment might be the answer to many prayers.

In the early 1960’s, researchers discovered that light could stimulate a response at the cellular level of tissues in the body, resulting in increased energy levels. Whether the pain is from an injury or disease, laser therapy increases the energy in the body's cells to metabolize at a higher rate. This speeds its natural ability to heal, reduce and relieve pain and in turn, the body converts the laser light into a form of energy that it can use to repair itself and function at a higher level.

Low level laser therapy, also referred to as biostimulation, low energy, low reactive, low intensity, soft and or cold laser are changing the way medical doctors, chiropractors, physical therapists, and other health care professionals assist healing and pain management. Low level laser therapy is a light source treatment that generates light of a single wavelength. It emits no heat, sound, or vibration. LLLT uses photochemical reactions in the cells, also referred to as photobiology or biostimulation to produce results. At this time the low level laser, or , LLLT uses low output levels (15100 mW), short treatment times (10-240 seconds), and low energy levels (1-4 J/cm2).


Results suggest that laser radiation and monochromatic light may alter cell, stimulate collagen production, alter the DNA synthesis, and improve the function of damaged neurological tissue.

Low level laser therapy may:

1. Increase ATP production by the mitochondria ,increase oxygen consumption on the cellular level, which may result in muscle relaxation
2. Increase serotonin and increase endorphins
3. Increase anti-inflammatory effects through reduced prostaglandin synthesis
4. Improve blood circulation to the skin for neuralgia and diabetic neuropathy
5. Decrease permeability of the membrane of the nerve cells
6. Increase lymphatic flow and decreased edema

By using low level laser therapy many conditions can be treated when it comes to pain management. Conditions like chronic arthritis, tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, neuropathy and fibromyalgia all benefit from the use of the low level laser. Unlike the surgical laser that burns and cuts tissue the low level laser does not have any side effects.

Best Laser treatments gives the low level laser and cold laser therapy a thumbs up. The benefits are many … avoid surgery, eliminate pain and return to a healthier life. Sounds like a pretty sweet deal to me!
Soon you may be doing the Happy Dance!

Best Laser Treatments - Hair Removal ... it's Come a Long Way

Best Laser Treatment takes a look at laser hair removal … take a quick pick at the video and you’ll know, that it has come a long way baby!



The FDA approved hair removal lasers for use in 1997 and since then it has become a routine and popular procedure. Experience of the machine operator and the type of laser used all factor in to the end result. Laser hair removal is now commonplace in the dermatology arena and the safety along with the efficacy is widely published in their literature.

Hair removal lasers selectively target Melanin which is what gives hair and skin its color. There are two types of melanin … “eumelanin” which give hair a brown or black color and “pheomelanin” which gives hair a red or blonde color. With the selective absorption of photons of laser light, only black or brown hair can be removed with a hair removal laser. Hair removal Lasers work best with dark coarse hair. Light skin and dark hair is the best combo, but new lasers are coming on the market to target dark black hair even in patients with dark skin.

Most hair removal is done on the lip, chin, shoulders, back, underarm, abdomen, buttocks, pubic area, bikini lines, thighs, face, neck, cleavage, chest, arms, legs, hands, and toes. It seems that both women and seek laser hair removal treatment to have their unwanted hair removed.

The number of sessions for successful hair removal depends on various things, including the area of the body treated, skin color, coarseness of hair. Coarse dark hair on light skin is easiest to treat. Finer hair and hair on darker skin is harder to treat and may need many more treatments. The face may require more treatments to achieve desired results. Hair removal usually requires several treatments … maybe even up to 12 sessions and it seems that the hair may still grow back, but probably lighter in color and thinner. Sessions are usually spaced 4-8 weeks apart. Since hair grows in several phases, and laser can only affect the currently active growing follicles, several sessions are needed to kill hair in all phases of growth.

Several wavelengths of laser energy have been used for hair removal … from visible light to almost infrared and the pulse width is an important consideration. The longer pulse widths may be safer for darker skin, but shorter wavelengths may be more effective in removing the actual hair.

The width of the laser beam may also affect the laser hair removal treatment. The ideal beam is about four times as wide as the target is deep. Hair removal lasers have a round spot about the size of your little finger. The energy level of the laser is critical in the laser hair removal treatment … with the goal of a high enough setting so as to cause permanent damage to the hair follicles. This, in addition to the pulsing repetition will improve the likelihood of success of the treatment.

Types of Hair Removal Lasers:

• The Ruby Laser is the oldest type of hair removal laser and works best for fine and light hair. The Ruby Laser cannot be used on patients with darker skin, including people with tanned skin. This and other factors, such as the relatively small area that they cover, have made Ruby lasers increasingly less popular for laser hair removal in recent years.
• The Alexandrite Laser is the fastest of the laser types and is good for treating large body areas in patients with light-to-olive complexion. This is one of the most widely used lasers for hair removal.
• The Diode Laser is most effective for darker skin types and is less effective on lighter, finer hair. It covers large areas and has fast repetition rates, allowing brisk treatment of large body areas.
• The long pulse Nd:Yag laser can be safely used in all skin types, including tanned patients. Large coverage areas and fast repetition rates allow large areas to be treated quickly. That said, patients who use this laser report more discomfort during treatment. It is also less effective for fine and light hair than other lasers.
• Intense Pulsed Light Devices are not lasers, but are “laser equivalents” in the sense that they use the same concept of selective photothermolysis to accomplish hair removal. IPL devices are more difficult to use than lasers and require a very skilled and experiences technician to operate.

Laser hair removal may be somewhat uncomfortable. As with anything, the pain or discomfort you feel may be different from others who have had the procedure. That said, most people tolerate laser hair removal very well.

At first, you will likely feel a slight stinging sensation, indicating that the laser has been activated. The treatment involves a series of impulses that cause prickling and a slight burning sensation. Keeping the skin cool is an important factor to reducing pain …if you can keep the skin comfortably cool, pain is reduced.
Types of cooling:

• Chilled clear gel
• Contact cooling
• Cryogen spray used prior to or right after the laser pulse
• A Cryo unit with forced cold air at -34 degrees C

The risks associated with laser hair removal include:

• Darkened or lightened skin, particularly among patients who have darker complexions.
• Blistering, scarring, crusting, scabbing, or, in rare cases, skin texture changes.
• The growth of new hair that has a finer texture and lighter color than adjacent, untreated areas.


To date, laser hair removal is still not considered permanent, but it may be long term. Everyone, it seems, has a slightly different result.

The Best Laser Treatments will blog about the different types of lasers available and the treatments that they provide .. not all lasers are alike. As an independent researcher I want to look at all the facts in an unbiased forum without the Medical community and the FDA coloring my findings .. will the facts all be positive ... I don't know ... let's take this journey together!

The laser was perfected in 1960, by research scientist Theodore Maiman at the Hughes Laboratory in Malibu California. Seeing the remarkable future for the use of the laser, physicists Charles H. Townes and his brother-in-law Arthur Schawlow were the first to actually apply for a patent on the laser.

Some lasers are used for medical purposes including surgery, pain management, hair removal, cosmetic surgery, wrinkle removal, wound healing, other types of laser therapy and much more …
Laser light differs from ordinary light in four ways:
• Laser light is very intense
• Laser light is directional
• Laser light is monochromatic
• Laser light is coherent

Laser beams may damage the eyes or even cause blindness if they radiate into the eyes directly or indirectly. Normal laser pointers sold in shops typically have an output power of 1.5 mW. This power level normally is not very hazardous, but can cause permanent damage to your eye if you stare at the beam. In addition care needs to be exercised in the thyroid and reproductive areas of the body.

Lasers use coherent light which has very different properties to a standard lighting effect. This is what makes lasers one of the most beautiful types of light, but also one of the most dangerous light sources if not used with proper cautions.

The interesting and astounding thing about lasers is the fact that this type of remarkable technology was unimaginable just a few short years ago!
