Product Description/Registration

The Spectra Therapy LASERwrap® products are designed to be fully wearable, portable systems providing temporary relief of pain, increased circulation, and reduction of edema. This one-size-fits-all device is designed to lessen pain by using laser photon energy to decrease the local viscosity of fluids, which provides therapeutic effects. It is important to emphasize that therapy with the Spectra Therapy LASERwrap® does not exclude other conventional medical treatment. 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 makes 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.

Treatment with Spectra Therapy’s LLLT can be combined with treatment via conventional medicine.
Repetitive treatment times of 7 or more minutes are most effective. The interval time between treatments is important as it allows time for the body’s own lymph system to activate and cleanse the area.
Most patients should expect to feel pain relief and/or muscle relaxation after 2-3 days of Spectra Therapy LLLT treatment.
Some patients may feel a noticeable reduction of pain immediately after their first treatment and relaxation of stiff muscles after one day of treatment.

Fully Portable, Battery Powered – The Spectra Therapy LASERwrap® is a truly portable laser unit that does not confine you to cords or stationary lamp type holders for use.

Dual Filament & Mini Pad Applications

Reduce inflammation quickly by applying under garments, directly to skin. LASERwrap® accelerates healing while minimizing pain & recovery time dramatically. The alfalfa head wrap technique has been around for a century for reducing toothache pain. With LASERwrap’s coherent laser energy, it not only reduces pain, but the extraction sites shrink to pinholes within a few days – it simply works!

Simple Solution – Wrap AROUND Multiple Applications Discover the Dual Filament

Breathe Easier with Wearable LASERwrap

Laser therapy is proven to improve blood and lymph flow increasing oxygen level while dissolving mucus to improve breathing.

Slip LASERwrap® Vest over head, then secure vest around abdomen with elastic straps provided. Then slip T-shirt (preferably with 5% spandex) over vest to keep vest close to body both front and back.

The body’s efforts to fight viruses can cause inflammation on lungs, making breathing difficult. Blood vessels damaged in the war between the virus and immune system may begin to leak fluid into lung tissues that become visible as white on 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 pulM<>nary inflammation, helping seniors as well as athletes reduce coughs and muscle spasm pain using vasodilation.
Test cases measured increased blood oxygen levels up 2-4 points after a couple nights of sleeping with LASERwrap®, based on severity of their condition. We have found the LASERwrap• vest is more effective with patients reacting more quickly since it treats the front and back sides of a majority of their organs simultaneously

Conical LASERwrap® & U-Wrap Applications

Treating around extremities with the wraps below vasodilates the vascular system, improving circulation of blood, lymph, & oxygen – delivering cellular energy to the area of concern. They can also be used to treat digestive and disposal systems.
Automatic repeated treatments are delivered 2 or 3 times per hour for up to 8 -12 hours, day and/or night. This type of treatment is similar to that delivered to babies for 48-72 hours after childbirth when their metabolic system does not activate immediately when born. The entire baby is placed in a light incubator. Repeated treatments are delivered over a continuous period making this therapy most effective and safe. LASERwrap technology now makes this therapy available while traveling, at home or at work.
