Laser therapy

A local laser effect, used for skin, nerve and joint complaints.

Laser therapy is a physiotherapy method in which a laser beam is directed at a narrow area. The session is short, painless and needs no recovery time. At Sun City Hotel & Spa laser therapy is not sold as a stand-alone treatment: it is prescribed as part of a course a physician has drawn up.

How a laser therapy session runs

The area is cleaned first, then the head of the device is directed at the site being treated. Most guests feel no more than a mild warmth. The power of the beam and the length of the session are chosen by the physician according to the complaint; the number of sessions in the course follows from the examination and the laboratory tests. You can move straight on to the next procedure afterwards.

Which complaints laser therapy is prescribed for

The beam activates local circulation and cell metabolism in the tissue. That is why the method is used across complaints as different as skin, nerve and joint conditions:

What the laser beam does in the tissue

  • Local inflammation settling
  • Easier pain
  • Support for the skin's own repair process
  • Better circulation in the tissue
  • Less pain and numbness along a nerve
  • A complement to the other procedures in the course

Prescription and contraindications

Laser therapy is given on prescription: the examination and laboratory tests on arrival determine which area is treated and how many sessions are needed. The procedure is not a naftalan treatment in itself, but it rounds out a naftalan course well — paired with the bath in skin conditions, and placed alongside the other physiotherapy sessions for spinal and joint complaints.

Laser therapy in Naftalan — Sun City Hotel & Spa

The laser unit is in the treatment wing — inside the hotel's own building, a few minutes from the rooms. Because the session is short it fits easily into the same day as a naftalan bath and a massage, with no separate journey for the guest.

Questions and answers

Frequently asked questions

No. The session is short and most guests feel no more than a mild warmth. The power of the beam and the length are chosen by the physician according to the complaint. No recovery period is needed afterwards — you can go straight on to the other sessions.

Neurodermatitis, eczema, psoriasis and allergic dermatitis are among the indications, as are herpes and acne. In skin conditions the laser is often prescribed together with a naftalan bath — the bath gives the broad effect while the laser works on a particular area.

No. Beyond skin conditions it is used, as part of a combined programme, in osteochondrosis, neuritis and neurosis, sinusitis, bronchial asthma, and in kidney stones, cystitis and prostatitis. Which area is treated is settled by the examination.

The number of sessions is set by the physician from the examination and the laboratory results on arrival — there is no standard chart. Laser therapy works as part of a course rather than as a stand-alone service, so the number is planned together with the rest of the programme.

Yes. A tumour process in the area, acute inflammation, a raised temperature, pregnancy and taking medication that causes light sensitivity may all be restrictions. Tell the physician about everything you take — it bears on the choice of procedure.

No particular restriction applies, though it makes sense not to keep the treated area in the sun for long that day and not to put aggressive cosmetics on it. If you see redness, itching or any unusual reaction, tell the physician.
