Laser Treatment for Morphea (Systemic and localized sclerosis)

Morphea, also known as Localized Scleroderma, is a kind of cutaneous restricted fibrosis that can present as plaque morphea, generalized morphea, linear scleroderma, or deep morphea. Sclerosis (systemic scleroderma) can show as either confined or diffuse illness.

Morphea’s cause is uncertain. It might be triggered by an atypical immune system reaction. Morphea can be caused by an injury to the afflicted region, drugs, chemical pollutants, infection, or radiation therapy in persons who are predisposed to it. Fortunately, the illness is not communicable.

Symptoms of morphea vary depending on the type and stage of the condition. They include:

·         Reddish or purplish oval patches of skin, often on the belly, chest or back

·         Patches that gradually develop a lighter or whitish center

·         Linear patches, especially on the arms or legs and possibly the forehead or scalp

·         A gradual change in the affected skin, which becomes firm, thickened, dry and shiny

Therapy for LoS is often unsatisfactory with numerous treatments that have only limited effectiveness or considerable side effects. Due to the advances in the application of lasers and their possible beneficial effects, our technical team has developed an advanced laser machine that performs an adequate treatment for Morphea. It has been recurrently used and appreciated by dermatologists mostly for its ability to match with the disease’s medical requirements.

The Smart Medical Diode Laser 26.2Watt LASER-3.2 is one of the most effective and widely used laser equipment for Morphea therapy.

This device possesses 4 wavelengths: 635nm, 810nm, 980nm and 1064nm with Maximum power up to 26.2Watt. With such quality, it will offer extremely adjustable, easy and friendly aesthetic operation that smoothly adapts with the gravity of Morphea’s different cases.

Another advantage is that dermatologists could easily track treatment times, save protocols and view patient profiles in the laser, and even update laser software through the internet.

To explain in more detail, this Laser’s light will be placed against the skin plaques. Followingly, the photons penetrate several centimeters and get absorbed by the mitochondria, the energy producing part of a cell. This energy fuels many positive physiological responses resulting in the restoration of normal cell color, morphology and function.

Merely said, the LASER-3.2 will considerably accelerate the healing process and, as a result, minimize the disease’s afflicted skin surfaces while also regenerating new, undamaged skin tissues.

Systemic scleroderma can sometimes become serious and life-threatening. Not only can it affect the skin, but it also can affect many internal organs, hindering digestive and respiratory functions, and causing kidney failure. This makes early treatment a must.

 By applying laser therapy, for instance, patients can control the symptoms of the condition, heal their skin and eventually be able to carry out everyday activities without feeling the discomfort associated with the disorder.

Nonetheless, in order to achieve that goal, a highly competent laser equipment is required to provide the greatest potential outcome. The diode Laser system LASER-3.2 appears to be the best suited equipment for diagnosing and treating Systemic Scleroderma based on all of the aforementioned qualities.
