relieve pain Absorbed laser energy stimulates the release of ß endorphins, increases nitric oxide release, stabilizes the membrane potential of nerve cells, decreases the amount of circulating Substance P and bradykinin levels, and increases the threshold of pain perception. reduce infammation Laser therapy promotes microcirculation by increasing vasodilation and promotes lymphatic fow thereby reducing infammatory edema. Photonic energy inhibits the synthesis of infammatory cytokines and prostaglandin. accelerate wound healing Photobiomodulation stimulates the proliferation of fbroblasts, the cells that produce essential collagen for tissue repair. Increased leukocyte and macrophage activity occurs at the wound site due to the stimulatory effect laser light has on the vascular system. Small capillaries are regenerated at a faster rate after laser stimulation. increase cellular metabolic activity Chromophore stimulation in the mitochondria results in increased synthesis of ATP, RNA, DNA, and cellular proteins causing accelerated tissue repair and cell growth.
