Understanding the Treatment
Low Level Laser (Light) Therapy (LLLT) is a rapidly evolving technology which in recent times have gained a grand entry into the field of dermatology. It is used to treat a multitude of conditions that require stimulation of healing, relief of pain and inflammation, and restoration of function. Although the skin is the organ that is naturally exposed to light more than any other organ, it still responds well to these wavelengths.
In dermatology, LLLT has beneficial effects on wrinkles, acne scars, hypertrophic scars, and healing of burns. LLLT can also reduce UV damage both as a treatment and as a prophylaxis i.e. to protect from impending damage. In pigmentary disorders such as vitiligo, LLLT can increase pigmentation by stimulating melanocyte proliferation and reduce depigmentation by inhibiting autoimmunity. Inflammatory diseases such as psoriasis and acne can also benefit.
Modern technology has made this therapy completely non-invasive in nature, almost completely devoid of side-effects and thus one of the safest procedures in the field of dermatology.
At Infinity Aesthetics Clinic, Dr. Narendra Nikumbh is the best Dermatologist in Thane and Mumbai, provides the LLLT / Light Therapy in Thane and Mumbai. We as a team work closely with every client to deliver a customized treatment crafted around the individual’s hair and skin type, using the latest technologies, systems, devices and products and this is what makes Infinity Aesthetics Clinic the Best Dermatology clinic in Thane and Mumbai.
How it Works?
The specific wavelength photons released from multitude of the sources are absorbed by the specific skin cells. This absorption leads to stimulation of specific functionalities of the cells also known as “Cellular Photobiostimulation” which causes increase in electron transport, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) & nitric oxide release which in turn increases the blood flow, generation of reactive oxygen species and thus diverse signaling pathways get activated. This way “Stem cells”, which have the capacity to cause healing and bring about positive changes within the tissues can be activated which allows increased tissue repair and healing.
This allows LLLT to be used in reducing pain and inflammation, augmenting tissue repair and promoting regeneration of different tissues and nerves, and preventing tissue damage in situations where it is likely to occur e.g. inflammatory acnes, psoriasis, fine wrinkles, photoaged skin and scars, this process is also known as “Photorejuvenation”.
This makes LLLT an ideal and safe procedure which can be used along side or as an adjuvant to the conventional treatment.
