The Benefits of Laser Therapy

  • Non-Toxic
  • Non-Invasive
  • Easy to Apply
  • No Side Effects or Pain
  • Extremely Safe
  • Cost Effective for Practitioner and Patient
  • Highly Effective for Patient (>90% efficacy)
  • Growing Acceptance of Laser Technology
  • Superior Alternative to: Analgesics, NSAID’s, Other Medications, Other Modalities
  • Reduces Need for Surgery
  • Virtually No Contra-Indications
Therapeutic Laser Biological Effects
Rapid Cell Growth – Laser light accelerates cellular reproduction and growth.
Faster Wound Healing – Laser light stimulates fibroblast development and accelerates collagen synthesis in damaged tissue.
Increased Metabolic Activity – Higher outputs of specific enzymes, greater oxygen and food particle loads for blood cells and thus greater production of the basic food source for cells, Adenosine Tri-Phosphate (ATP).
Reduced Fibrous Tissue Formation – Laser light reduces the formation of scar tissue following tissue damage from: cuts, scratches, burns or post surgery.
Anti-Inflammatory Action – Laser light reduces swelling caused by bruising or inflammation of joints to give enhanced joint mobility.
Increased Vascular Activity – Laser light induces temporary vasodilation increasing blood flow to damaged areas.
Stimulated Nerve Function – Slow recovery of nerve function in damaged tissue can result in “dead” limbs or numb areas. Laser light speeds the process of nerve cell reconnection to bring the numb areas back to life.

Theralase Receives Popular Mechanics Magazine "2010 Breakthrough Award" for the Company's Innovative Cancer Therapy Technology

Theralase Technologies Inc. (TSX VENTURE:TLT) has been awarded a 2010 Breakthrough Award by Popular Mechanics Magazine for its work with lasers in the destruction of cancer cells. 

Theralase Technologies Inc. President and CEO, Roger Dumoulin-White joins Karen Brewer and Brenda Winkel of Virginia Tech to receive the award at the Hearst Tower in New York on October 5, 2010. Popular Mechanics Magazine's "Breakthrough Awards" is honouring the year's most impressive advances in science and technology.

Dumoulin-White stated, "It is humbling to be acknowledged by such a prestigious magazine as Popular Mechanics, a magazine, which portrayed technology that I was always awe struck with as a child. We believe our work with patented Theralase lasers and PDCs for the destruction of cancer cells is truly groundbreaking and I speak on behalf of the entire company to say we are very excited to receive this award. We plan to continue our work toward commercializing this technology for the real and tangible benefit of all."

Lothar Lilge, Ph.D., the principal investigator of the PDCs, a published expert on PDCs and a leading researcher at the world renowned Ontario Cancer Institute located at Princess Margaret Hospital, University Health Network stated, "We are currently awaiting the final approval to commence testing the PDCs in a live small animal model to evaluate toxicity. In vitro, the lead PDCs have demonstrated low reaction without the presence of light, proving the safety of the compounds and a moderate to high ability to destroy cancer cells when subjected to light, indicating their innate ability to destroy cancer cells. Due to the ability of these PDCs to work in low oxygen environments, these PDCs will be ideally suited in the destruction of solid core tumours, such as: breast and prostate cancers. In conjunction with Virginia Tech, we will optimize the lead compounds for cancer cell destruction. Successful completion of a small animal pre clinical study and the knowledge accumulated from it in regards to PDC light dose interactions, such as toxicology, safety and efficacy, will pave the way for companion animal treatments and early human trials under FDA Phase 1, as early as 2011." 

Popular Mechanics, published monthly by Hearst Magazines, inspires, instructs and influences almost 9 million curious readers. Their mindset-the desire to understand how the world works-drives them to explore, experiment with and experience a wide range of interests. The Award winners will be highlighted in the November issue of Popular Mechanics, on newsstands Oct. 12, with winner profiles currently online at www.popularmechanics.com/breakthrough10.
