​IV Laser UV / IR Biophoton Treatments
Introduction to IV Laser Therapy
IV Laser Therapy is a modern approach of treatment for people. It helps to improve the healing ranging from acute to chronic conditions. This treatment was first launched in Europe in 2005. It was developed after getting significant research funding from the European Union. Moreover, it is a prominent advancement of the external ultraviolet light therapy (UVBI) when it comes to complete safety and strength.
Furthermore, it has different uses. Some of the common uses are:
- Anti-Inflammatory
- Anti-Infective
- Circulation Enhancement
- Immune System Enhancement
- Mitochondrial Repair
- Oxygen Uptake Enhancement
How IV Laser Therapy Works?​
With the help of this therapy, the blood is treated using a simple catheter in the arm of the person. It looks similar to a blood draw. In this treatment, a thin fiber-optic cable is used to deliver the laser energy to the blood as it travels through the vein. Besides, the treatment usually takes around 40 to 120 minutes. The duration relies on the objective of the treatment.
Safety Concerns​
There are some safety considerations with IV Laser Therapy. The following is the list that can help you understand them:
Blood Thinners
It can produce an anticoagulant effect. Therefore, people on blood thinners must go under continuous monitoring to guarantee that their INR does not drop too low.
Blood Sugar Medications
One major concern is that IV Laser therapy can lower blood sugar levels. Thus, people who are on blood sugar lowering medications must get examined to check if their blood sugar is dropping extremely fast or not. It can lead to a situation called hypoglycemic effect.
Medications
Another vital concern is that IV Laser therapy has the capacity to improve your blood flow. Due to this, all the medications can act stronger than usual post-treatment. Thus, it could be necessary for some people to lower their medications with their doctor’s prescription.
