High-Intensity Laser Therapy

TheraPrime is pleased to introduce the BTL-6000 30W High-Intensity Laser (HIL), top of its range in advanced technological solutions that has revolutionised treatment potential. This cutting-edge device significantly accelerates the rehabilitation process for various injuries and physical conditions through its cellular repair capabilities, offering a more efficient, reliable, and effective approach to physical recovery.

How does it work?

The BTL-6000 (HIL) delivers a highly effective beam of near infrared (NIR) light which is a non-invasive therapeutic approach for pain relief, tissue healing, and regeneration through the natural process of energy transfer. It is proven to be beneficial in addressing a wide range of acute and chronic conditions, as well as sports-related injuries. These benefits are optimised after approximately 4 to 8 sessions, with the exact number depending on the severity of the condition. Most patients notice significant improvements starting from the initial consultation, and sessions are both convenient and effective, typically lasting no more than 15 minutes.

Is it effective?

There is a growing body of research, comprising thousands of studies, which continue to explore the benefits and effectiveness of Class 4 (HIL) laser therapy across a range of applications, including pain management, wound healing, musculoskeletal disorders, sports injuries, and rehabilitation. This is done at a cellular level as this treatment modality is able to activate and use the body’s own repair process which is how most injuries eventually heal.

The BTL 6000 HIL distinguishes itself from competitors by utilising a powerful and effective 1064 nm wavelength, which is ideal for treatment based on extensive research and offers an optimal absorption-to-scatter ratio in tissue (particularly with regard to melanin absorption). This enables the 1064 nm laser light to penetrate into deeper tissues while scattering less in the skin, allowing for effective penetration of up to 10 cm deep. In contrast to other devices that divide their total power output across multiple wavelengths, with limited clinical research and value, the BTL 6000 HIL delivers its full 30W power at a single wavelength, therefore optimising clinical efficiency and enhancing therapeutic effectiveness.

Does it hurt?

No, the therapy is completely non-invasive and should not cause any pain in the treatment area. Most individuals experience a mild, relaxing warmth or tingling sensation during the procedure. While some minor discomfort may occur hours after the treatment, this is not related to the therapy itself but rather to the body’s natural repair process, which is activated by the stimulation of cellular function in response to the severity of the injury or condition. When administered by a trained professional, this treatment modality is safe and free of side effects for any compatible patients.

Some of the key benefits of High-Intensity Laser Therapy include:

  • Non-Invasive: HILT is a painless, non-invasive treatment method.

  • Nerve Regeneration: Stimulates the repair of peripheral nerves, aiding in nerve recovery.

  • Effective on Deep Tissue: Penetrates deeply into muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bones, ensuring targeted treatment.

  • Pain Management: Reduces pain through its anti-inflammatory effects and by stimulating pain receptors.

  • Blood Circulation: Enhances local blood circulation, promoting faster healing.

  • Tissue Regeneration: Speeds up the healing process and tissue regeneration, particularly for sports injuries and musculoskeletal conditions.

  • Immune System Stimulation: Stimulates the immune system, supporting the body's natural recovery processes.

  • Effective on Large Areas: Can treat larger regions compared to other types of laser therapies.
