Laser Treatment

with the Omega XP Laser

For Humans and their Pets

Opening on Monday 7th September 2009

Laser is a fairly new innovation in the treatment of dogs, Horse & Humans but the results are positively astounding.

Background of Laser Treatment
Albert Einstein first proposed the theory of laser radiation but it wasn't until 1960 that the first working laser was fired.
From a virtual revolution in the use of laser for surgical application, benefits began to emerge in the use of lasers for their therapeutic effects when applied at low power intensity.
Dr. Andre Mester, A professor of surgery in Budapest discovered that irradiation of tissue with low dose levels using a ruby (red light) laser resulted in an increased rate of healing and his subsequent work provided the initial volume of evidence for the efficacy of laser in healing and wound care.
Over the years, since 1960, through research and development, Omega have developed lasers for treating an increasing range of conditions from tissue repair and wound care to pain relief using Low Intensity Laser Therapy (Lilt)

How Does It Work?
It works photo-chemically with visible and non-visible infra red light beam. This triggers off normal cell function which in turn maintains a steady state in the inner parts of the body being treated which is conducive to optimum biological functioning and regeneration.

The Effects Of Low Intensity Laser Treatment

Improved Circulation ~ Lilt increases blood circulation which in turn delivers maximum oxygen and nutrition to the body's tissues.

Increases in the following cells which are all involved in the repair and healing process have been proven to occur....


Macrophage Cells

These are the large white scavenger cells that digest invading organisms and cell debris.


Lymphocyte Cells

These white blood cells produce antibodies and increase the immunity and fight infections


Fibroblast Cells

These are the connective tissue cells that are the precursors of bone, collagen and other connective tissue.


Mast Cells

These cells are released in response to injury, inflammation and allergic reaction. They are involved in the repair process.


Endorphins

These are naturally occurring chemicals in the brain that are involved in relieving or eliminating and enhancing pleasure.


Prostaglandins

A hormone like fatty acid that triggers off many internal body functions.

Lilt is absorbed by Macrophage cells causing them to release chemical mediators which stimulate the proliferation of fibroblasts which produce collagen. Lilt results in the production of collagen which is stronger and more orderly resulting in smoother appearance and texture of the skin. When left to nature, Collagen is produced in a more random fashion, giving rise to unsightly scarring after injury.


Skin Treatment

Lilt causes mast cells to release superoxide dismutase which neutralises the damaging effects of free radicals on cell structure and function.


Fine lines and wrinkles

Lilt stimulates the production of new collagen which helps to fill in unsightly lines and wrinkles


Herpes Simplex

Lilt is the quickest and most effective means of healing embarrassing and painful cold sores, in half the time.


Scars

Lilt can improve the colour and texture of facial and body scars so that they blend better with the surrounding normal skin. Keloid scars and skin grafts can be softened and flattened


Acne

No matter how severe, it can be treated with amazing results. In recurring cases, due to internal imbalances, outbursts will be less frequent and quickly cleared. At the same time scarring is controlled and kept to a minimum.


Eczema, Psoriasis, Dematitis

Painless, effective and fast response.


Arthritis

Initial Pain relief, joint mobilization and restimulation of natural healing system to treat current problems and alleviate future progression of this very painful condition

Frequency of Treatment

Initial treatment could be every day for 2 or 3 days to give the body a boost. However 3 times or even twice per week is sufficient for on-going treatment. Once the body has been stimulated with Lilt it will continue to repair itself and does not need treatment every day. Once the problem is in good retreat your treatments can be reduced to once a week or less
It is advisable to get treatment as soon as possible after an injury to help reduce healing time.
Rate of Response
In many cases an improvement will be noticed a very short time after the 1st treatment, but in some cases it may take 2 or 3 treatments before an improvement is evident.

Prices
The cost per session is £25.00

Each session will be in the region of 1 hour, (may be longer). During this session more than 1 problem may be treated.
Before the 1st treatment can begin you will be asked a few simple questions and asked to sign a form.
You will be asked to wear a pair of infra-red safety goggles for your own safety
