The theory for the creation of laser light was proposed by Albert Einstein in 1917, but is was not developed until 1960. It was in the late 1960's that Professor Endre Mester of Budapest, Hungary first reported his experience using laser light to treat non-healing wounds and ulcers in diabetic patients. Mester's 70% success rate in treating these wounds lead to the development of the science of what he called "laserbiostimulation."
Around the world, laser therapy is rapidly becoming a medical therapy that can heal wounds and fractures up to 60% faster and also reduce the cost of treatment for many conditions. In the U.K., low level laser therapy has become the treatment of choice for soft tissue "whiplash" injuries and for the treatment of painful post-herpetic pain.
Most lasers used by medical professionals on the market are “HOT” or high powered lasers. Hot lasers are lasers that have an output larger than one Watt and ability to increase the temperature of what it is contacting. Hot lasers are used for a variety of procedures from cutting and cauterizing tissue, removing tarter from teeth, hair removal, and even eye surgery.

| What is LLLT? |
| |
- LLLT stands for Low Level Laser Therapy
- LLLT is a painless, sterile, non-invasive, drug-free therapy treatment.
- LLLT treats a variety of pain syndromes, injuries, wounds, fractures, neurological conditions and pathologies
|
| How does Laser Light Heal? |
|
| |
- Supplies energy to the body in the form of non-thermal photons of light.
- Transmits through the skin's layers (the dermis, epidermis and the subcutaneous tissue or tissue fat under the skin) at all wavelengths in the visible range.
- Optimizes the immune responses in our blood. This has both anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects.
|
| Physiological Effects of LLLT |
|
| |
- Biostimulation including Improved metabolism & Increase of cell metabolism
- Improved blood circulation and vasodilatation
- Analgesic effect
- Anti-inflammatory and anti-edematous effects
- Stimulation of wound healing
|
|
| Benefits of LLLT to Users |
| |
- Relieves acute and chronic pains
- Increases the speed, quality and tensile strength of tissue repair
- Increases blood supply
- Stimulates the immune system
- Stimulates nerve function
- Develops collagen and muscle tissue
- Helps generate new and healthy cells and tissue
- Promotes faster wound healing and clot formation
- Reduces inflammation

| Facts on PL5000 |
|
| |
- Acetylcholine is released from a motor nerve. This causes an entry of calcium into the muscle cell.
- Calcium activates phosphorylase kinase - the first protein kinase discovered by Fischer and Krebs.
- Phosphorylase kinase phosphorylates phosphorylase, which is activated
- Glycogen is broken to glucose. This is used to generate ATP
- The muscle works and requires energy in the form of ATP
- The muscle contains muscle cells
- Contractile proteins in the muscle are activated by calcium
