Low-intensity laser treatment has been used successfully during breastfeeding consultations in the presence of pain during breastfeeding, nipple injuries, breast candidiasis, it can also be used in lacerations in the perineum, in cesarean section or episiotomy, relieving pain and edema in these cases.
How can laser therapy help mothers?
- Healing of cracked nipples
- Analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects on cesarean section wounds
- Reduction of pain and healing of the perineum and episiotomy
- Treatment of breast candidiasis
- Treatment of diaper rash in babies
Don’t suffer from pain while breastfeeding
Breast Cracks
The low-intensity laser method, or laser therapy, has been used successfully to treat wounds. In injured nipples, laser therapy acts as an adjuvant to accelerate healing, provide analgesia and modulate inflammation. Just a few applications can restore breastfeeding. Laser application is quick, painless and can be performed daily until symptoms subside. On average, 4 sessions are necessary, and the sooner treatment is started, the better the clinical response.
Postpartum
According to the WHO, normal delivery is the most recommended method of delivery. Among its many advantages is the faster recovery of women after childbirth. However, discomfort in the perineal region after vaginal delivery can be significant, and even greater in situations where an episiotomy is performed.
Laser therapy has proven to be a clinically effective tool for accelerating healing and especially reducing pain and discomfort in the perineal region, and can also be performed on the cesarean scar. The irradiation is painless, does not touch the injured tissues, and should preferably be performed daily until the pain subsides. The laser can provide immediate relief from discomfort.
ILIB
As part of the treatment for postpartum recovery using laser therapy, we also have another treatment modality that can be very beneficial: ILIB (Intravascular Laser Irradiation of Blood).
Its objective is to reach the blood with intravascular laser irradiation. The applications of laser therapy in the postpartum period are effective in helping the mother to fully recover, as they help restore energy and hormonal balance.
ILIB has been increasingly used as part of the treatment for mothers to recover after childbirth. The clinical results are significant and improve the well-being of women going through this phase.
The benefits of using ILIB in the postpartum period are many, and include:
✔ pain reduction;
✔ anti-inflammatory effect;
✔ rapid wound healing;
✔ hormonal rebalancing;
✔ stress reduction and relaxation;
✔ improved sleep and decreased fatigue.
LED Therapy
LED is the newest technology with the greatest innovation when it comes to procedures performed in the treatment of wounds. LED, Light Emitting Diode, involves the use of specific wavelengths of light to trigger biological responses in the body. It not only treats the lesion through photobiostimulation but also contributes to the decontamination of the lesion, making procedures more effective and, above all, faster.
In the postpartum period, LED has a very satisfactory effect on improving pain after a cesarean section, as well as reducing inflammation and edema at the site caused by the surgical procedure.
LED has several applications, and its benefits in medical treatments, especially in wound healing, include:
Effects of Red LED
✔ Anti-inflammatory
✔ Analgesic
✔ Anti-edematous
✔ Cell stimulator
✔ Tissue regenerator
✔ Scar healing
Effects of Blue LED
✔ Acts on the microbiological process in the decontamination of the wound bed.
