cidesco conference 2012 - innovative laser methods and the power of light
DESCRIPTION
Light Innovation - Health & beauty with light Laser and light applications are now available in many medical disciplines for clinical practice. Both in diagnostics and in therapy treatments with laser and light rays open up the new ways and possibilities: Precise surgical techniques and treatments relieve regenerate and even heal the patient with few side effects. Today, light & laser technology in many fields are often performed as the method of first choice for therapies that are not possible to perform successfully with other classical methods, or only with a much larger effort. High energy lasers are very precise tools for cutting, coagulation and vaporization of biological tissue. Light spectra from low energy lasers and special full spectrum therapy devices working in the visible and near-infrared range are ideal for bio-stimulation and regeneration. Interestingly, the findings that have been made in medicine with laser & light applications are today widely used by dermatologists, skin specialists, aestheticians and spa specialists successfully in a wide range of applications. In this lecture you will learn many of these new findings and can use it for yourself and for the benefit of your customers. We wold love the here you comments about this lecture.

Only the close affinity to the light, makes it possible to us to perceive light.
But only though the absence of light we can experience and detect the presence of light.
Only the change of light and darkness, only the rhythm of day and night, shows us the whole spectrum of life. All life is subject to the ever-changing rhythm of day and night.
Every cell in our body responds to these changes and each cell is ultimately nourished by light energy.
Sunlight with an incredibly broad spectrum of waves gives us not only life, but it is also fundamental in maintaining good health.

The working principal of a laser is called stimulated emission:
•Electrons are supplied with energy.•Electrons have the property of being in a low energy level.•They therefore emit energy in form of light.
- The emitted Light moves between two mirorrs back and forth and becomes always stronger.
- One mirorr is pacially trasparent to light, so that light in form of a beam can be released.

• Most systems use a continuous light beam in the wavelength range between 385 - 3500nm.
• This treatment reduces infections and supports natural healing mechanisms.
• The systems are easy to handle.
• In many cases light therapy also helps where traditional medical methods fail, and in many cases without additional medication.
• One session per day, approximately 10 - 20 sessions over 4 weeks is average required. Ø The treatment durations are between 4 ~ 15 minutes per treatment area.
1. Remove make-up, sweat and dirt with cleansing cream. In case of inflammatory skin diseases, cleanse smoothly.
2. Rinse cleanly so the Light can thoroughly the skin.
3. Prepare skin or wound for treatment.
4. During the radiation, the patient feels in most cases no pain. One can carry goggles but with most light therapy devices it is not necessary.
5. Soothe the skin after therapy with rubber pack, and so on.
