lasersädehoitoon

Lasersädehoitoon, or laser therapy, is a medical treatment that utilizes focused light beams to interact with biological tissues. This non-invasive technique can be employed for a variety of purposes, ranging from pain relief and tissue healing to surgical procedures. The specific effects of laser therapy depend on the wavelength, power, and duration of the laser exposure. Different types of lasers, such as low-level laser therapy (LLLT) and surgical lasers, are used depending on the intended application. LLLT, often referred to as photobiomodulation, aims to stimulate cellular activity, reduce inflammation, and promote tissue regeneration. It is commonly used for conditions like arthritis, muscle strains, and wound healing. Surgical lasers, on the other hand, generate higher energy levels and are used to cut, ablate, or coagulate tissue with precision. Applications in surgery include ophthalmology for vision correction, dermatology for skin resurfacing and lesion removal, and general surgery for precise tissue dissection. The mechanism of action involves the absorption of photons by cellular components, leading to photochemical and photothermal effects. While generally considered safe, potential side effects can include temporary redness, swelling, or discomfort. The efficacy and optimal parameters for laser therapy are areas of ongoing research and clinical investigation.
