What is BioFlex Laser Therapy?
BioFlex Laser Therapy is a type of therapy that combines Low Intensity Lasers and Superluminous Diodes to treat several medical conditions. It was created and developed by Meditech International Inc. It is a safe, non invasive technology that works when the light emitting from the laser comes in contact with the skin. The light emits diodes which irradiates injured tissues with particles known as photons. The photons are a source of energy that penetrate the skin and are absorbed into the cell membrane where they cause complex physiological reactions, leading to the restoration of normal cell structure and function.
The process is curative, and therefore results in the elimination of symptoms including pain. In addition, it enhances the body’s immune system response and facilitates natural healing.
There has been extensive research studying the healing effects of therapeutic laser. The results are consistently impressive in the treatment of a wide variety of conditions.

What the Clinical Benefits of Laser Therapy?
- Highly effective for many disease conditions
- Eliminates pain
- Reduces the need for pharmaceuticals
- Restores normal range of motion and physical function
- Easily applied
- Non-invasive
- Non-toxic
- No known adverse effects
- No drug interactions
- Often makes surgical interventions unnecessary
Physiological Effects of Laser Therapy
BioFlex Laser Therapy causes several physiological effects including:
Increased production and release of:
- DNA synthesis (The protein building blocks, essential to the process of cell regeneration)
- Endorphins (These are natural analgesics, produced by the body to reduce the sensation of pain)
- Collage production (Increases tensile strength of muscles, tendons, and ligaments)
- Cortisol (Precursor of cortisone)
- Growth Hormone (instrumental in tissue repair)
- ATP (the fuel of the cell required in facilitating cell metabolism)
There is also increased:
- Protein synthesis (collagen, DNA, fibroblasts)
- Venous and lymphatic flow facilitated
- Increased angiogenesis (elevation of oxygen saturation)
- Enhanced immune response
