SOFT LASER UYGULANDI�INDA DOKU ÜZER�NDE NE TÜR ETK�LER GÖRÜLÜR?

Tabiki burada bir kaç sayfa içerisinde bu kadar geniþ ve çok amaçlý kullanýmý olan bir uygulamayý tam detaylarýyla vermek kolay deðildir. Ama anlaþýlabilir olmasý bakýmýndan bazý noktalarý sizlere açýklamaya çalýþtým;

• Kan sirkulasyonunu arttýrýr, eski hasarlý hücreleri yenileyerek yenilerinin oluþmasýný ve dolayýsý ile yeni iþlevlerin geliþmesini saðlar. Bu sayede hücrenin ve dokunun daha çok oksijen ile beslenmesine yol açar ve hasarlý ksýýmlarýn iyileþmesini gerçekleþtirir.
• Collagen vücütta ki en önemli proteindir. Laser Tedavisi, bu proteinin çoðalmasýný saðlar.
• Collagen hasarlý hücreleri yenileyen, eskilerini yenileriyle deðiþtirmesinden dolayý en önemli proteinlerden birisidir. Ayný zamanda hücreleri bir arada tutan elastik yapýya sahiptir.
• ATP (Adenosin Trifosfat) üretimini arttýrýr. ATP enerjiyi hücrelere taþýyan baþ etkendir. Artmasý da direk olarak hücrenin dolayýsý ile iyi baslenmesi ve atýklardan kolay kurtulup, enerji dolu olmasýný saðlar. yediðimiz bütün yiyecekler hücrelere taþýnmadan önce atp ye dönüþür. ATP de hücrenin kimyasal yapsýnda gerekli olan, kimyasal enerjiyi saðlar.
• Limpatic Sistem Aktivitelerini arttýrýr.
• RNA ve DNA sentezlerini arttýrýr. Hasta ve hasarlý hücrelerin daha saðlýklý ve kýsa sürede düzelmesini saðlar. excitability
• Sinir sistemi üzerinde olumlu etkiler yapar ve aðrýyý en az þekilde duymamýzý saðlar. Iþýk eberjisinin fotonlarý vücuda negatif ionlar halinde giriþ yapar. Bu etkileþim de vücutta tedavi gören bölgölere kalsiyum gibi pozitif ionlar göndermesini saðlar. Bu ionlar sinirlerde etkileþim yaparak aðrýnýn en aza indirgenmesinde görev alýr.
• Tedavi iþlemindeki fibroblastik aktiviteleri gerçekleþtirir. Fibroblastlar collagen fiberlerin oluþmasýnda etkin görev alýrlar.
• Phatgocytosis i arttýrýr. Hasarlý ve hasta hücreleri sapayýp yok eder. Phatgocytosis artýþý hastalýklarda baþlangýç safhasýndaki tedavinin baþarý oranýný direk etkileyen adýmdýr.
  Dokuda termal etkilþimi arttýrýr. Iþýn, foto-kimyasal reaksiyonlarla hücrenin ýsý derecesini yükseltir.
• Ãœlser ve çeþitli yaralara karþý doku granürlðünü ve birleþik doku korunlamalarýný etkinleþtirir.
  Asetilkolin oluþumunu arttýrýr.
• Beyindeki Endorphin ve Enkaphalins ve bunun yanýnda vücudun diðer taraflarýndaki kimyasallarla iligli düzenlemeleri yapar ve bu sayede aðrý ve acý duymayý azaltýr.
• Akupunktur noklarýný harekete geçirir.

• Kaslarýn gevþemesini ve rahatlamasýný saðlar.

SOFT LASER BU NEDENLE KBB HASTALIKLARINDAN BA�KA,
A�A�IDAK� ÇE��TL� HASTALIKLARDA DA BA�ARI �LE KULLANILMAKTADIR;

• Ã�eker hastalarýnda meydana çýkabilen cilde ait yaralarda,
• Kapanmasý geciken veya bir türlü kapanmak bilmeyen ameliyat yaralarýnda

• Ayaklarda varis sonucu ortaya çýkan yaralarda,

• Uzun süre yataða baðlý kalan hastalarda kalçalarda oluþan dekübitus yaralarýnda,
• Zona hastalýðý (Halk dilinde gece yanýðý), zona sonrasý aðrýlarda,
• Yeni oluþmuþ 1. ve 2. derece yanýklarýn iyileþmesini hýzlandýrmada,
• Güneþ yanýðý, siðillerde,

• Sportif yaralanmalarýn iyileþmesini hýzlandýrmada. El yaralanmalarýnda. (kas ezilmesi,tendon hasarý vb.gibi),
