Vein laser treatment is an emerging therapeutic approach that involves intravascular irradiation through the placement of a venous catheter. The most commonly used light wavelengths are within the red or near-infrared range. This treatment has been proven effective for various conditions such as fibromyalgia and post-stroke functional recovery, contributing to improved physical function and symptom relief for patients.
Enhancing Blood Circulation for Pain Relief
The effectiveness of vein laser treatment lies in its ability to enhance blood circulation, boost immune function, reduce chronic inflammation, and alleviate pain.
◎ Functions of Vein Laser Treatment:
● Increases tissue blood flow and oxygen delivery, contributing to overall organ and tissue health and functionality.
● Stimulates the immune system, enhancing the body's ability to resist infections and other diseases.
● Possesses anti-inflammatory effects, aiding in the treatment of many chronic inflammatory conditions, such as arthritis or autoimmune diseases.
● Some studies suggest that vein laser treatment may effectively reduce pain, especially for conditions like migraines or neuropathic pain.
Furthermore, a renowned director surnamed Li from the mainland's film industry sought treatment from Dr. Hsu in Taiwan, which continued for a span of eight years.
◎ Considerations:
● Currently, there is still a lack of substantial randomized controlled trials to prove its effectiveness and safety.
● Different diseases may require varying dosages and treatment regimens. Therefore, treatment should be managed by experienced medical professionals.
● Before undergoing treatment, physicians should assess the patient's medical history and any potential risk factors, such as clotting abnormalities or venous inflammation.
● Since vein laser treatment may lead to adverse reactions such as venous inflammation or allergic responses, patients should closely monitor and promptly notify their doctors.
As such, if you are seeking an alternative therapy to improve your health, vein laser treatment may be a worthwhile consideration. However, it's important to note that vein laser treatment does not cure all diseases and may not be suitable for certain individuals.
