Veterinary laser therapy, photobiomodulation
The requirements for successful veterinary laser therapy, laser irradiation
As already mentioned under "laser therapy", the natural holistic healing method is at the forefront of a quick and complete healing. All necessary functions and biofrequency programs are integrated in the RJ laser units, e.g. for laser resonance therapy.
Depending on the individual case, it can be used as a stand-alone therapy, as a supplement to regular treatments, and it can be easily combined with other therapies and medications. The RJ laser devices are designed for application to individual points, reflex treatment and for local treatment of small and large areas.
RJ Laser has thousands of satisfied veterinary customers around the world who have used the lasers successfully for many years, and RJ develops the lasers in close collaboration with leading therapists. Take advantage of the experiences of RJ and our customers.
Laser acupuncture
Laser therapy, photobiomodulation is packed with research
Laser research / studies are always performed on animals, at least in the first stage. If this is positive, research on humans will continue. So there is a lot of research available, and for this reason alone, veterinary laser therapy is definitely a therapy component for almost all patients.
To learn acupuncture and laser therapy just join the international academies like IVAS, seminars from European Academy TCM Laser Therapy, seminars by Dr. Uwe Petermann.
Laser beam - tissue
Radiation behavior in tissues and fur
Each tissue has a special optical behavior. The laser beam is reflected, scattered, absorbed and transmitted depending on the wavelength and tissue. With increasing depth, the laser's energy / effect decreases and can be compensated by higher power or long-term therapy duration.
The crucial point in animals is the coat / coat and the color. If the coat is too dense, too thick, a large amount of laser energy will be absorbed even before it reaches the tissue and deeper layers. Therefore, you must either shave the fur of the animal or use a special applicator that can push the hair away (RJ offers such an applicator). If the color of the coat / skin is dark, the laser beam will be absorbed relative to the hue.
As mentioned, already use laser diodes with the wavelength of the "optical window".
Some Case reports - laser therapy, wound healing in veterinary medicine
RJ laser devices are widely used in daily practice and research. Current frequency research would hardly be possible without RJ-LASER innovations. Leading researchers in human and veterinary medicine work with RJ laser equipment.
Chronic obstructive bronchitis - Report from Leszek Ryś, Poland
COB (chronic obstructive bronchitis) or COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) are generally difficult to treat. The course of laser therapy shows how healing can be achieved by means of pulse-controlled laser acupuncture (Physiolaser 90 W / 904 nm superpulsed). The laser therapy was performed by Leszek Ryś in 2013. It is an impressive improvement that has been achieved for the horse.
Dr. Uwe Petermann is the discoverer of COB treatment with pulse-controlled laser acupuncture. Detailed information can be found on his website. The dissertation of Dr. Astrid Reiz confirmed the results of Dr. Uwe Petermann.

Wound Treatment - Case report from Cindy Kneebone, Canada
American Bulldog, FS, born 1997.
Laser therapy in veterinary medicine has been common for many years. The first start of our veterinary laser therapy was in November 2007 - treated with a number of antibiotics and steroids, the condition worsened. Refer to a dermatologist: 1 1/2 years when using various antibiotics, steroids, topical tacrolimis and oral pentoxifylline.
The lesion was a deep, wet wound under the tail with a diameter of approx. 1 inch. Started with UV veterinary laser laser treatment first May 14th. Started at 10 minutes on the tail and 10 minutes on the perineum. Repeated May 19 - the tail and perineum were dry, and the dog did not care about it anymore. All medications stopped from May 14th. Next veterinary laser treatments with UV lasers 20, 25 May, 5, 22 June and 21 July (last veterinary laser treatment - cured).
Wound Treatment (Chronic Wound) Case report from Cindy Kneebone, Canada
11 year old yellow lab.
Come to us from the Emergency Department, from dermatology. Has been through a number of treatments, including a number of antibiotics. Diagnosed in May 2010 with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus pseudointermedius. The prognosis was poor for this patient. She came to us for fear of losing her dog and the fear that this pet would be contagious to the general population. Two weeks of using ultraviolet laser twice a week for 10 minutes. See the healing we achieved within two weeks. The skin also became thicker and has become almost normal thickness as the treatments continue.
Wound treatment horse (chronic healing problem) Case report from Dr. Susanne Braun, Iceland
The horse suffered severe wound healing with periostitis after traumatic injury. The process had a chronic approach, and the horse was barely able to move its leg. Susannne Braun decided to use the laser intensively as soon as she received the patient. The therapy was successful, led to rapid relief and complete healing (03.18.-05.05.2005).
Laser therapy for wound healing (MRSA infection) Dr.med.vet. Uwe Petermann, Melle, Germany
Cases of MRSA (Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus) infection in dogs treated with laser therapy / acupuncture 90 watts / 904nm cl. 3B pulsed without further conventional treatment (such as antibiotics, etc.).
Figure 1 shows MRSA-infected wounds after six months of conventional treatment before laser acupuncture shows infiltrative inflammation and hypergranulation. Image 2 after 10 days of laser acupuncture with good granulation tissue and edge with good epithelium. Picture 3 shows the wound with complete healing without further surgery and antibiotics

Abstract
Chronic non-healing cutaneous wounds are often vulnerable in one or more repair phases that prevent normal healing and present challenges for the use of conventional wound care methods. In immunosuppressed individuals, the sequential stages of healing are inhibited, which may be the consequences of dysregulated or stagnant ulceration.
Photobiomodulation (PBM) or low-level laser (light) therapy (LLLT) is a promising drug-free, non-invasive biophysical approach to promote wound healing, inflammation reduction, pain and restoration of function. This study was therefore conducted to evaluate the photobiomodulatory effects of 810 nm diode lasers (40 mW / cm2; 22.6 J / cm2) with pulsed (10 and 100 Hz, 50% duty cycle) and continuous wave on excision skin in full thickness of the skin wound healing in hydrocortisone-induced immunosuppressed rats.
The results clearly delineated that 810 nm PBM at 10 Hz was more effective over continuous and 100 Hz frequency to accelerate wound healing by attenuating the proinflammatory markers (NF-κB, TNF-α), enhancing wound contraction (α-SM actin), improving cell proliferation , ECM deposition, neovascularization (HIF-1α, VEGF), reepithelialization together with upregulated protein expression of FGFR-1, Fibronectin, HSP-90 and TGF-β2 compared to non-irradiated controls. In addition, 810 nm laser irradiation significantly increased CCO activity and mobile ATP content. Overall, the findings of this study may extend the current biological mechanism that may be responsible for the photobiomodulatory effect mediated through pulsed NIR 810 nm laser (10 Hz) to promote skin healing in immunosuppressed individuals.
General veterinary recommendations for laser therapy
A special position for at. 3B is acupuncture and ear acupuncture (more suitable due to small radiation output). Devices for laser therapy cl. 4 is better for diseases that require heat, also when it comes to moxa. It is also ideal for the treatment of large areas and deep areas such as joints, internal organs, etc. (acceptable duration).
And
How to reach the target tissue?
Depending on the individual conditions of the animal, the laser beam can reach the target tissue or be absorbed by color / pigmentation or particles.
The most important obstacles are:
And
1) Hair / fur: Thickness and volume can absorb large amounts of energy!
2) Color of fur and skin: Dark pigments absorb large amounts of photons (less energy supply)
Skin without hair, e.g. mouth, wounds and injuries are perfect for irradiating because the energy of the laser beam can easily reach the cells. In case the skin is dark, the beam will easily heat up the skin. Thus reduce the operating cycle and / or move the probe .
Suitable wavelengths with low absorption are between 650 / 808-915 nm. Skin covered with fur is always difficult to treat because the hair absorbs parts of the laser energy. A special probe tip can be useful for removing hair.
RJ offers a number of solutions such as point applicators and brush probes.
Note:
1. Deep target tissue needs more time and / or higher power in order to deliver satisfactory amounts of energy
2. Pressure provides a better supply of photons (less water in the tissue).
