At Laser Medicine they have many years of experience in the application of Therapeutic Laser for Pressure Sores. Pressure sores, also referred to as bedsores, pressure ulcers or skin breakdown, are the result of damage to an area of skin or underlying tissue from a loss of blood flow. Pressure sores can be of particular concern for people with spinal cord injuries and paraplegics, when pressure sores can go unnoticed due to a lack of sensation in key areas of the body.
After a spinal cord injury the nerves in the skin, which once felt temperature and pain, often no longer work. This is when therapeutic laser for pressure sores can be essential.
The main cause of pressure sores would be excessive pressure on the skin without periods of relief. Blood flow is restricted to the areas experiencing pressure, resulting in tissue damage. Another cause is when the skin becomes sheared, when the skin and the bone go separate ways, from slouching, during transfers when sliding instead of lifting, and extended sitting at an angle in bed. Paralysis causes muscles to atrophy, losing much of their mass. Muscles are ideal padding for the more bony areas, such as the bottom, and so without them providing that cushioning, there is much more pressure on the skin.
At Laser Medicine, they often find that Therapeutic Laser for pressure sores increases the healing of wounds and sores because of a number of processes triggered by the process of photobiomodulation.
At Laser Medicine, they find that people require very few therapeutic laser for pressure sores treatments to help heal the wound and continue with normal life. One session is often enough to trigger an effective healing response. In the case of broken skin or deeper sores, 1-3 treatments will usually suffice.

Laser Medicine London is a general practice Therapeutic Laser clinic, specialising in the application of Photobiomodulation Therapy (PBM), also commonly known as Red Light Therapy. They utilise advanced clinical low level laser equipment: Class 3b and Class 4 Therapeutic Laser (and sometimes LED), to treat many conditions, including non specific age related fertility issues and digestive gut health. Recent studies show positive results using Photobiomodulation Therapy for Microbiome, to improve both gut and vaginal microbiome, which can be considered important factors in good digestive health and fertility outcomes.
Photobiomodulation Therapy for Microbiome can be an effective solution to improve gut health, balance the digestive system and help the digestive system function more effectively. Recent clinical studies indicate that Therapeutic Laser can significantly increase gut microbiome. Good gut microbiome supports internal health, including hormone production and mental health. A recent study showed that improving gut microbiome for patients with depression reduced the need for anti-depressant medication.
Photobiomodulation Therapy for Microbiome can be applied to help resolve various digestive conditions including:

Currently there is increasing attention to the subject of vaginal microbiome (VMB) for non specific age related fertility issues. Several studies have demonstrated that PBMT can control the microbiome and improve the activity of the immune system.
New Insights into Photobiomodulation of the Vaginal Microbiome-A Critical Review
Recent research has concluded that microbiomes of the reproductive tissues in both men and women play a role in nearly every single step of the reproductive process. There are healthy microbiomes in follicular fluid, which impact egg quality and ovulatory function, in the fallopian tubes, the uterus, the cervix, and the vagina, and in the testes and seminal fluid too. These healthy bacteria help facilitate reproductive functions. To read more on this subject please refer to Dr Lorne Brown’s article.

Everything they do at Laser Medicine is based on effective and proven clinical studies, and they base their protocols on the findings of experts in the field and statistical evidence.
