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.

Laser Treatments for Nail Fungus

When you get a fungus under your nails it looks awful and it makes your fingers or toes itch, nails turn yellow and thick, and very hard to get rid of. I had a fungus under 2 of my toenails for several years and finally did something about it just this year.

If you catch the fungus early enough you can get rid of it with Lamisil cream but once it is under the nail and in the blood stream, forget about it.

When I went into the foot doctor’s office I was fully expecting to get a prescription for pills to get rid of the fungus. Normally that is how you get rid of it.

The pill method takes up to 9 months. And, you have to get a blood test to make sure your liver is okay. You take the pills every single day for 3 months and then the medicine stays in your system for another 6 months. The doctor told me you won’t see new growth for about 9 months.

A new way to get rid of nail fungus is laser treatments. The doc said it would still take as long for the fungus to go away but I only need to get one laser treatment every 3 months, so 3 times total.
