Stimulating the growth of new capillaries and blood vessels with light therapy

Angiogenesis is the physiological process through which new blood vessels form from pre-existing vessels, formed in the earlier stage of vasculogenesis. Angiogenesis continues the growth of the vasculature by processes of sprouting and splitting.

Recognition that control of angiogenesis could have therapeutic value has stimulated great interest during the past 40 years. Stimulation of angiogenesis can be therapeutic in ischemic heart disease, peripheral arterial disease, and wound healing. There are reports that LLLT can induce angiogenesis or the growth of new blood vessels that are necessary for wound healing and especially in the repair of ulcers and other non-healing wounds for which LLLY is frequently carried out.

There are reports that LLLT can induce angiogenesis or the growth of new blood vessels that are necessary for wound healing and especially in the repair of ulcers and other non-healing wounds for which LLLY is frequently carried out. AS mentioned in Section 3.3 the binding of nitric oxide to cytochrome c oxidase can inhibit the stabilization of It has been known for some time that LLLT is particularly effective at reducing swelling or oedema in tissues and in improving lymphatic drainage. This can also be explained by the effect of nitric oxide in activating the lymphatic drainage and in relaxing the lymphatic smooth muscle cells. There are reports that LLLT (low-level light therapy) can induce angiogenesis or the growth of new blood vessels that are necessary for wound healing and especially in the repair of ulcers and other non-healing wounds. It has been known for some time that LLLT is particularly effective at reducing swelling and oedema in tissues and improving lymphatic drainage.

PDT (photodynamic treatment) is an effective form of treatment for an increasing number of human conditions, ranging from cancer to several skin conditions. Benefits deriving from the use of light is known since ancient times, but only in the last decades of the twentieth century, we witnessed the rapid expansion of knowledge and techniques. Recent improvements in the therapy are related especially to photosensitizer development and delivery systems. Nowadays, the use of LED-based devices represents the emerging and safest tool for the treatment of many conditions such as skin inflammatory conditions, aging, and disorders linked to hair growth. Although the use of LED in the treatment of hair disorders has now entered common practice, better-controlled studies are still needed to corroborate its efficacy.
