Researchers in Brazil have found that low-level laser therapy, especially when applied through the ear canal, shows promise in providing lasting relief for tinnitus sufferers by promoting blood flow and cell repair, with potential for personalized treatment approaches.
The article discusses various treatments for spider veins on the face, including intense pulsed light (IPL), Vbeam laser, and electrodessication, and highlights the challenges and potential frustrations of these treatments. Dermatologist Heidi Waldorf suggests that while multiple treatments may be necessary, consulting a specialist for the most effective approach is crucial.

Doctors have discovered an extremely rare case of a 27-year-old woman with a large "vagina stone" in her pelvic area. The stone, caused by stagnant urine and untreated bacterial infection, was pressing against her bladder and causing severe abdominal pain. Using laser therapy, the stone was fragmented and removed during a three-hour procedure. Cerebral palsy, a condition the woman had, often leads to urinary incontinence and increases the risk of developing vagina stones.
A study conducted by the Optics and Photonics Research Center in Brazil has found low-level laser therapy to be the most effective treatment for tinnitus. Over a four-week trial, laser acupuncture and transmeatal low-power laser stimulation showed better results compared to other treatments. The study could lead to the development of standard treatment protocols using laser therapy for tinnitus, a condition that affects approximately 750 million people worldwide.
