?What is laser therapy and how does it work

Lung laser therapy refers to the medical application of laser beams. High-energy laser beams are radiated to the lung and affect it during laser therapy. The physician changes the wavelength, pulse duration, intensity, and pulse frequency of the radiation depending on the biological impact it is expected to leave on the tissue. Doctors work with strong, high-energy radiation. The physician aims the device toward the body part that is being treated.

Laser therapy is performed by Dr. Arda Kiani in Iran.

 How is laser therapy performed?

Laser therapy uses a focused light beam to destroy cancerous cells.  You would undergo the treatment in the endoscopy or X-ray department of a hospital and the procedure would take around 30 minutes. Laser therapy is performed in cases where cancer blocks one’s airways, causing shortness of breath. This procedure can help you breathe more easily again.

Is laser therapy painful?

To respond to that, one would have to note that the pain caused by laser therapy depends on the type of laser and treatment location. Some laser therapies cause mild pain, which is comparable to a small scratch. This pain is generally tolerable without local anesthesia and thus calls for no anesthesia or local anesthesia. Numbing creams can be used in sensitive areas and for children. CO2 laser treatment is, however, performed under local anesthesia.

Laser therapy is a generally painless treatment. The pain during the treatment is typically compared to a sense of heat or mild tingling. Symptoms such as muscle pain may develop after treatment, which generally disappears within a day. Laser acupuncture would suit anxious and pain-sensitive patients.

Last word

Laser therapy depends on the treated area and method. Both the patient and the treatment team have to wear safety eyewear during treatment. The damaged areas of the skin must be cleaned using laser pulses. The doctor can use local anesthesia or numbing cream before radiation if necessary. This could relieve any mild pain or heat.
