“…The combination of IR laser and RF current has already been proposed as an efficacious treatment for leg vein coagulation (22) and has been reported to achieve rejuvenation-related effects (23). It was therefore interesting to examine the combination of RF, IR light and mechanical massage and suction as proposed in previous studies, but comparatively examining the tissue through an intra-patient split treatment, assigning subjective and objective scores and also checking the histological effects on tissue.…”

Treatment sessions with the combined RF, IR light and mechanical massage and suction system were complication free, produced improvements in the overall cellulite appearance and skin condition, suggesting that further treatment sessions for maintenance could sustain patient satisfaction index (SI) and lead to lasting results. Based on the good results in the limited trial population, further studies with larger patient populations are warranted.

“…Schaffer et al irradiated the planta pedis of healthy volunteers [12], Teggi treated patients with Meniere’s disease [26], Hirschl treated patients with Raynaud’s phenomenon [27], and Trelles irradiated leg blood vessels with success [16]. Tullberg exposed the masseter muscle to a gallium-aluminium-arsenide laser because of muscle pain and demonstrated an increase in microcirculation [28].…”

SummaryBackgroundThe purpose of our experiment was to determine whether laser stimulation can improve microcirculation in the posterior regions of the brain in patients with vertebrobasilar insufficiency (VBI).Material/MethodsWe studied 25 patients (20 female, 5 male, mean age 64) diagnosed with chronic VBI. All were evaluated using the De Klyn test, followed by qualitative assessment of stability using a Berg Balance Scale and evaluation of global stability using an electronic balance platform. A CTL-1100 low power laser was used with standard parameters. We established a protocol for laser irradiation at 5 points along the vertebral artery in the cervical region bilaterally. Irradiation was performed 10 times over two weeks.ResultsSignificant improvement occurred after therapy in headache (p=0.0005), vertigo (p<0.0000), and tinnitus (p=0.0387). No significant differences were observed in nausea or nystagmus caused by head rotation. The Berg Balance Scale results showed significant differences in almost all features. There was a tendency towards improved stability in all parameters, and statistically significant differences in the total surface of support and the spread surface of support for the left foot.ConclusionsLaser stimulation as applied in this study can be useful in the treatment of patients with VBI. The main reason for improvement in global stability, balance, and other VBI symptoms is better blood perfusion.

Increased venous pressure causes dilation of normal leg veins creating varicose or spider veins. This can be a consequence of loss of smooth muscle tone causing valvular insufficiency or more rarely deep vein thrombosis. The treatment of choice for eliminating spider veins of the leg is sclerotherapy, although the use of laser technology as a safe and relatively painless alternative has been long anticipated.
