The term LASER stands for "Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation." Laser therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses light beams with specific wavelengths to reduce the pain caused by injuries to the body. Lasers with varying intensity are also used to cut or destroy a tumour, make cuts in different parts of the body, remove hair, tissue or scars and more. Two types of laser levels are used in medicine that is Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) and High-Level Laser Treatment (HLLT). Laser therapy can reduce the duration of treatment, relieve pain, reduce swelling and increase blood flow, while the side effects of using this technology are minimal. Laser therapy can be used along with other treatments such as physiotherapy, acupuncture, and massage therapy. Laser for treatment purposes is also used in various medical fields such as ophthalmology, dentistry, and cosmetic surgeries.
Iran is using lasers in different branches of medicine in line with world knowledge. This knowledge, which is available in many hospitals and medical centers in Iran, shortens the treatment process and reduces the complications of surgery. Today, in addition to its therapeutic application, it is also used in cosmetics. Since cosmetic surgeries are very popular in Iran and Iran has a special place in this field, it is easy to use the knowledge of Iranian physicians in applying this technology.
Laser therapy can work more precisely than traditional methods. The incisions made by laser surgery are shallower and smaller than those of conventional instruments. In this way, the tissue is less damaged because of its greater accuracy. The duration of laser surgery is usually shorter than traditional surgery. These procedures can often be performed on an outpatient basis. In these conditions, shortening the length of treatment and fewer complications of surgery will bring you more economical and health benefits. If general anesthesia is needed, the anesthesia is usually shorter in laser surgery than in traditional surgeries. In addition, the body usually needs shorter recovery time after laser surgery. There may be less pain, swelling and scarring than traditional surgery.
Determining laser therapy expenses depends on the country and city in which you undergo it, the medical center, the type of therapy, and the techniques used. Low price is one of the most important features of medical treatments in Iran. The cost of laser therapy in Iran is more affordable than anywhere in the world. Since the cost of living in Iran is very low, and considering the national currency's value, medical and cosmetic treatments in Iran are offered at a low price. The cost of laser skin resurfacing in Iran ranges from $400 to $700 per area.
Laser therapy may last as little as 5 minutes or as long as 20 minutes. The total number of laser therapy is generally 8-15, depending upon many factors that will be evaluated by your physician. It is important to remember that immediate relief of pain does not mean the condition is fully healed. So, if a course of laser therapy is suggested, completing all of the laser treatments will improve your chances of long term success. Treating just parts of the face takes about 30 to 45 minutes. Full-face laser therapy takes up to two hours. The laser procedure's typical course is 5-10 minutes, although it depends on the size of the area being treated. Acute conditions may require daily laser treatment, in particular, if they are accompanied by significant pain. Chronic problems typically respond better when laser treatments are received 2-3 times per week. With each patient, we determine their laser therapy plan on an individual basis.
