How Does It Work?

Our Body is made up of approximately five trillion individual cells.  Each cell must supply its own vital energy called ATP (adenosine triphosphate).  Every job a cell must perform needs to be done with the aid of ATP.  Light is the only medication which can directly increase the production of ATP.  Our cell power plant, the Mitochondria, converts photon energy (light energy) into ATP (cell energy).

This new fuel is then available to carry out the many repair and regenerative functions of our cells.  In essence, there is more energy to expel waste products, and replace nutrients and proteins, the building blocks of our cells.  There is a rapid formation of many proteins, including collagen, a clear sticky substance, which is nature’s “repair” material.  This newly formed collagen can then be used to regenerate tissue that once had been damaged.

The laser energy also changes the electrical potential across cell membranes. This causes a desensitization of nerve cells, which results in the reduction of pain impulses.  Additionally, it increases lymphatic drainage by doubling the size of the lymphatic drainage ducts.  This allows easier movement of cellular waste products and older protein by-products of cellular metabolism or tissue injury.  The result is a rapid reduction in fluid retention, swelling, and inflammation.
