What's so good about personal beauty lasers?


What's so bad about surgery? Why shouldn't I inject poisons into my body? Who cares if it gives me cancer or makes me infertile as long as I look young? Must we suffer to be beautiful? Or will a cosmetic laser treatment fix everything safely and painlessly?


What is Low Level Laser Therapy?

"Low Level Laser Therapy or Laser Phototherapy is a method where light from a laser is applied to tissue (or cells in culture) in order to influence cell or tissue functions with such low light intensity that heating is negligible. The effects achieved are hence not due to heating but to photochemical or photobiologic reactions like the effect of light in plants. The lasers used are normally referred to as therapeutic lasers." Swedish Laser Medical Society

Low Level Laser Therapy is widely used in hospitals and clinics around the world to treat and cure a number of conditions including pain relief, problematic skin conditions and to promote healing in wounds or injuries.

Low Level Laser Therapy is beneficial in repairing damaged cells and speeds up and enhances the response of the body’s immune system as well as aiding pain relief. That is why it is so effective when used for skin rejuvenation and healing acne and skin blemishes - it restores the skin to a healthy, more youthful condition.

Also, if you are suffering from hair loss, low level laser therapy can help to stimulate the hair follicles into action again, resulting in new hair growth and healthier hair. Amazing but true.

Vampire therapy: It might sound ghoulish, but having your blood sucked out and cleaned could work miracles

Another miracle cure from the Daily Mail. I think a skin laser would possibly have the same anti-aging effect as it energises the blood circulation resulting in healthier skin cells and of course can also be used for healing wounds among other things.

"The thought of having blood drained from your body, treated under ultraviolet light, then pumped back in sounds like something out of a Hallowe’en horror film.

But blood cleansing, the latest health-boosting treatment to reach our shores, claims to not only energise you, but aid a host of medical and skin concerns, too.

UVB Photo-biological Stimulation therapy (UVB therapy) involves a small amount (50ml) of blood being extracted from the body and passed, via a tube connection, to a machine where it’s briefly exposed to UV light then redirected into the bloodstream.
It sounds ghoulish and a little bizarre, but this 15-minute treatment is widely used in Germany and Russia. And now the treatment is available in the UK.

Blood cleansing makes some impressive claims from perking up energy levels, strengthening the immune system and increasing metabolism, to reducing the symptoms of diabetes, allergies and improving skin conditions such as acne and dermatitis.

But can exposing our blood to light actually improve our wellbeing?

The theory is, that when there is not enough oxygen in the blood, there is also a lack of energy in the blood’s cells which can lead to poor circulation. This is when illness can strike.

‘UVB therapy works to re-oxygenate the bloodstream, re-energise the body and boost the immune system, which is vital for inner health and wellbeing,’ says Dr Robert Stelzer, a specialist, who has been administering the treatment for more than a decade."
