The effectiveness of this treatment is dependent upon correct use. There are no known side effects from this therapy. If treatment times are exceeded, the therapy may not provide more positive results.

BENEFITS:
Programmable and wearable LLLT treatments make it practical to turn temporary pain relief and temporary improvement of circulation into consistent pain relief and continual stimulation of the circulatory system. Spectra Therapy’s LASERwrap® makes treatment easy throughout the day and night.

• Some patients may feel a noticeable reduction of pain immediately after their first treatment and relaxation of stiff muscles after one day of treatment.

Summary of LLLT’s

The therapy is light energy absorbed into the patient’s tissue which triggers biological changes at a cellular level to provide topical healing for the temporary increase in local blood circulation; temporary relief of minor muscle and joint aches, pains, and stiffness; relaxation of muscles and relief of muscle spasms; as well as temporary relief of minor pain and stiffness associated with arthritis. The dose and frequency of treatment can be adjusted to produce the desired effect by selecting a treatment guideline.

The Physiological Effects of LLLT are:

1. Bio-stimulation
   • Improved metabolism
   • Increase in cell metabolism
2. Improved blood circulation and vasodilation
3. Reduces or eliminates pain
4. Anti-inflammatory and anti-edematous effects
5. Stimulation of wound healing
6. Reduces muscle spasms

How has LLLT worked for others?

• Reduces inflammation
• May relieve certain acute and chronic pains
• Increases the speed, quality, and tensile strength of tissue repair
• Increases blood supply
• Stimulates the immune system and nerve function
• Develops collagen and muscle tissue in certain cases
• Helps generate new and healthy cells and tissue
• Promotes faster wound healing and clot formation
• Enhances athletic performance
• Minimizes stocking up

The LASERwrap product line is unique as unlike other lasers that treat only a point of interest per single application, per attendant, Spectra treats the entire surrounding area repetitively and unattended. LASERwrap®, via the automatic cycles, repeatedly improves the transfer of liquid in and out of the body’s cells, helping them to absorb oxygen and flush the lactic acid and other inflammatory enzymes. When wrapped around an extremity a wearable chamber is created, similar to an incubator treating soft tissues, bones, arteries, veins, and meridians.

Treatments with LASERwrap

Treat the entire extremity or body at once.

Hands-Free & Automatically.
Absolutely nothing delivers results like LASERwrap® 8 or 12 hours on a charge. only 2 hours to Recharge. – All wraps and garments are made with dual filament. LASERwrap® is a machine-washable polyester fabric that should be applied directly on the body so that coherent laser energy can be absorbed. Since the wraps are not sterile, gauze should be used for all open wounds, then apply the wraps over the gauze.

Abdominal & Back LASERwrap Treatments

Improve Comfort Reduce IBS & UTI

FDA cleared to improve circulation for healing and reduce soreness related to muscle spasms, stress, tension, and gas issues; relieves skeletal muscular arthritic PAIN. Circulation improvements using LASERwrap’s VIOLET mode helps firm up stretched skin tissues caused during pregnancy, recovering quickly from tummy tucks or hernia surgeries.

I used the laser 2-3 times a day for about 30 min -to hour the first 3 weeks after labor, and twice a day for 30 minutes after 3 weeks. I could tell a HUGE difference in my body as you can see in the pictures. Let me add, I have done NO diets or exercises after I had my baby. I do believe GREEN LASERwrap* mode made me heal much faster than normal My postpartum bleeding was only half the time they estimated from the hospital. My hemorrhoids shrunk quickly and they are hardly even noticeable and never hurt. I also tore from my delivery and had to get stitches, which healed much quicker than they told me they would and I was never sore from them. I also used LASERwrap® on my back because I got so sore from the epidural and it eased the pain instantly when I used it. I would definitely recommend any postpartum mommy to use LASERwrap to heal faster and to reduce soreness after childbirth! I truly believe it was what helped me bounce back to myself.

The body’s efforts to fight viruses can cause inflammation in the lungs, making breathing difficult. Blood vessels damaged in the war between the virus and the immune system may begin to leak fluid into lung tissues that become visible as white spots on chest X-rays. The fluid may drown some of the tiny air sacs preventing them from delivering oxygen to the blood and removing carbon dioxide. This type of inflammation is pneumonia.

Repeated LASER treatments effectively reduce pulmonary inflammation. helping seniors as well as athletes reduce coughs and muscle spasm pain using vasodilation.
