  • Photobiomodulation, low-level laser therapy (LLLT), or cold laser has been studied for over a half-century and the list of health benefits continues to grow. From decreased inflammation and increased blood flow, to production of neurotransmitters and formation of new nerve cells, LLLT is fast becoming one of the most effective holistic/full-person healing modalities. Learn more about the science behind LLLT and the health benefits supported by the literature.

    For Years I have felt that light and sound tech would advance.
    Now that I have seen a massive “take” being played in pharma and all health /wealth care industries, this makes sense.
    Light and Sound Tech will eliminate drugs! Bang! Boom!
    Now it’s clear!

    Well, I never leave reviews on products, but I would in this topic. I purchased a photo bio modulation devise for my son with ASD , I use the alpha light on him for about 10 mins a day at night he will fall sleep in 10 or 15 minutes, 8 hours straight. The next day I ask how he feels , he will tell me he wants to use the devise again.

    • @ApexbraincentersAvl
      @ApexbraincentersAvl  Před 2 lety +2

      Laser is a great addition to any mental health program! And, it's not always about focus on the brain. Gut laser can impact the microbiome and serotonin production; and can often yield greater outcomes than treating the brain directly. As far as brain, the frontal lobes should be addressed, among other areas. As no two laser types are created equal, always seek expert advice on how to administer appropriately.

    • @ApexbraincentersAvl
      @ApexbraincentersAvl  Před 2 lety

      We have seen many with long standing PCS that have made full or near complete recoveries. For more complicated PCS, laser itself is not the only modality we employ as there are chronic compensations that have been made in the nervous system that require much hands-on rehabilitation of key systems that feed the brain information - such as visual, balance, and other systems. Laser is a great help, and we typically start at 10 sessions. Please call us at 828.708.5274 if you'd like to discuss further.

    • @ApexbraincentersAvl
      @ApexbraincentersAvl  Před 2 lety

      There are no easy answers here as they are very different types of light devices. It's not as simple as more LED equaling the effect of laser. One is diffuse/divergent (LED) one is coherent/convergent (laser). Different tools for different needs. This paper may help a bit - www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6091542/

      LED's need more power to get the same photon density. Essentially no difference per area as long as you turn up the power. Im still not convinced 630nm is useful. Penetration and frequency are apparently important. 1070nm was resorted to in the cranial helmets with LEDs.
