I recently witnessed the new acquisition and new modality being introduced at Integrated Laser and Complementary Medicine Clinic, The Helixor Laser Fotoditazin Therapy and The Mustang Laser Low Level Laser (LLL) Therapy. The Helixor Laser Foto Therapy uses a different type of laser machine which is the Crystall Laser after the application of Fotoditazin Gel (photosensitizer), a powerful medicament that speed up healing specially for those with diabetic foot, gangrene, vasculitis and ulcerated wounds.
Indications for Helixor Laser Foto Therapy (HLFT) nonmalignant diseases :
1. Psoriasis :
- Progressive and stationary stages of the disease.
- Resistance of the disease to the classical methods of treatment.
- Recurrent disease.
- Severe forms of the disease (psoriatic arthropathy, psoriatic erythroderma, a large area of skin lesions).
- Intolerant drugs.
- Failure of patients to conventional treatment methods.
2 . Acne :
- Acne vulgaris different location and severity .
3 . Nonhealing wounds and trophic ulcers :
- Treatment of wounds in patients with diabetes mellitus type II , burn wounds ;
- The preparation of wounds to autodermoplasty ;
- Trophic ulcers of various etiologies ;
What is Helixor Laser Foto Therapy?
Photo Dynamic Therapy (PDT) + Laser Therapy (Diode or Low Level Laser Blood Irradiation) combined, proven to be very effective in cancer treatment and management together with other healing modalities. A widely used method of photodynamic therapy using a photosensitizer (PS ) of the second generation of chlorine e6 “Photoditazine " in cancer and non-cancer patients.
Photodynamic therapy ( PDT) - a fundamentally new method for the treatment of malignant tumors, significantly expanding the capabilities of modern oncology and treatment of a number of non-neoplastic diseases. In clinical medicine, the method used with the 1992 and 2002 with one of the standards in oncology . The basis of photodynamic therapy is photodynamic reaction in the growing biological tissues after administration of exogenous photosensitizer (PS ) under certain dose of light energy. Administering to the patient FS concentrated in the tumor. Light radiation of a specific wavelength corresponding to the type of absorption FS at local influence on the tumor induces the formation single oxygen and oxygen free radicals, which are toxic to cancer cells and lead to their death. The tumor undergoes necrosis, exfoliates and replaced by normal connective tissue. Recovery occurs . No other harmful to the body in the process of PDT agents is formed. Therefore, photodynamic therapy may be applied before, after and during radiotherapy and chemotherapy , as well as before and after surgery in various combinations with these traditional PDT treatments
HLFT may be applied both in the initial stages of cancer as an alternative to surgical treatment, calculated on the total destruction of the tumor , and with the palliation in advanced process to improve the quality of life of incurable patients. PDT is used and in terms of preoperative tumor to convert inoperable patients operable in order to reduce the amount of resection of the affected organ , with the aim of hemostatic tumors , complicated by bleeding , etc. One of the damaging mechanisms of PDT is thrombosis of tumor vessels . High selectivity ( specificity) introduced PS accumulation , the limited depth of cytotoxic effects , the absence of severe local and systemic complications of treatment, the possibility of multiple repeat treatment sessions , combined in one procedure of therapeutic effects and fluorescence diagnosis of tumor boundaries , PDT is well tolerated by elderly patients with severe comorbidities . The ability to use outpatient favorably to traditional methods of PDT treatment of malignant tumors ( surgery , radiation and chemotherapy ) . The selective destruction of the tumor during PDT with maximum preservation of healthy tissue is of particular importance in the so-called localization of tumor foci uncomfortable when surgery is not feasible due to anatomical features. These localizations include skin of the nose , eyelids and periorbital area, the ears , the ear canal , the genitals .
In addition to the classical procedure of PDT is the use of topical PDT in non-cancer patients. This so-called systemic photodynamic therapy . The reason for this procedure is the selective accumulation of PS tissue changes , which is very important in the treatment of diseases with high proliferative activity , such as endometriosis , psoriasis , etc., when traditional treatments do not bring the desired results. A particularly effective method for atherosclerosis large blood vessels for the destruction of atherosclerotic plaques , as well as in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.
Much attention deserve particular methods PDT - it photomodifica blood or fotoimmunoterapiya when besides the destruction of tumor cells , inactivation of viruses and bacteria. The method consists in the simultaneous introduction of the blood of FS and its intravenous laser irradiation of the appropriate wavelength . Thus are born the active forms of oxygen , peroxides that destroy cancer cells wherever they may be, that is a fight with metastases . This significantly extends the capabilities of PDT in the treatment of malignancies. So it is the destruction of viruses and bacteria , stimulates the secretion of cytokines - immune protection factors , thus forming antitumor, antiviral, antimicrobial immunity . In addition, cell death leads to a modified signal is applied to the stem cells at the site initiating the formation destroyed new, healthy cells while increasing the level of immune protection of the organism as a whole.
Case # 1: Diabetic Ulcer (Plantar area)
*While there are a lot of success with this treatment in their clinic branch in Cebu, the two cases here are still being managed by the clinic in Ortigas branch and showed marked improvements and results.

Case number 2: Vasculitis
The Mustang Low Level Laser is a non-invasive therapy that is somewhat similar with laser acupuncture, it has multiple probes for different applications, like for example : facial skin tightening, joint pains and kidney care.
