hilterapia™

The Therapy

The method of application used in Hilterapia™ utilizes with cleverness and knowledge the most advanced notions on the transfer of energy inside body tissues. For example it works by applying fast or slow manual scanning.
This allows one to choose between the transfer of energy through light or heat, according to the phase of application of the treatment and according to the effects needed.  Moreover, it allows for an array of repetitive pulse frequencies, in a range of values that has shown to be the most biostimulating one.
The protocol also predicts the treatment of local painful points, according to specific anatomic and clinical considerations, in order to assure the best results.
 
Stimulation through light of the deep structures activate the cell metabolism through a photochemical effect, based on the interaction of light on a cellular level, which activates fundamental chemical reactions.
The transmission of the pain stimulus is slowed down and the analgesic effect is achieved rapidly.  

But the high peak power achieves a further therapeutic effect: the photomechanical effect.  The high-energy photons strike over the tissue surface generating real pressure pulses that perform a micro-massage that is fundamental to re-activate the microcirculation and the lymphatic draining.
The oxygenation of tissues is stimulated, liquids accumulated are eliminated, and inflammatory molecules are washed away.
A rapid and intense anti-inflammatory and anti-oedema effect can be observed. 
Finally, the controlled thermal increase caused by the therapy can be, for the first time, managed to achieve therapeutic effects.
As a matter of fact, it is possible to utilize the photothermal effect of the emission in order to keep the volume of the treated tissue in an activated energetic state. This makes the effects of the therapy long-lasting.   

PHOTOMECHANICAL EFFECT	PHOTOCHEMICAL EFFECT	PHOTOTHERMAL EFFECT
Pressure waves stimulate the lymph draining system in deep layers. The rapid resorption of inflammation mediators and leaked liquids is achieved.	The cell equilibrium, altered by the pathological process, is restored. Inflammation is reduced and the analgesic response is very fast.	Circulation is stiumulated: more oxygen and nutrients can reach the suffering structures.
