Optimizing Natural Function & Healing
Enhancing Infant Feeding with Summus Medical Advanced Laser Light Therapy
At Tongue Ties With Love, we are dedicated to providing advanced, compassionate care to infants experiencing feeding difficulties due to tongue-tie and other oral restrictions. One of the most effective tools we utilize is the Summus Medical Laser, a state-of-the-art technology that supports both pre- and post-frenectomy treatment, as well as non-surgical interventions, to optimize your baby’s feeding experience and overall health and wellness.
What Is the Summus Medical Laser?
The Summus Medical Laser is a high-performance, therapeutic laser that delivers precise, controlled energy to tissues in the body at specific wavelengths. Widely recognized for its ability to reduce pain, inflammation, and healing time, it’s an ideal solution for infants, whether they undergo a tongue-tie procedure or not. This non-invasive laser therapy is safe, gentle, and effective, providing immediate relief and long-term benefits.
How Advanced Light Therapy Helps Infants with Feeding Difficulties
The Advanced Laser Light Therapy plays a crucial role in addressing these challenges, regardless of whether a frenectomy is performed:
Pre-Frenectomy Treatment: Before a tongue-tie release (frenectomy), the Light Therapy can be used to relax the oral tissues, making the procedure smoother and more comfortable for your baby. This preparation reduces overall tension and enhances the success of the procedure.
Post-Frenectomy Healing and Oxygenation: After the tongue-tie procedure, laser therapy accelerates healing by promoting cellular regeneration, improving blood flow, and increasing oxygenation to the treated area. Enhanced oxygenation is vital for faster tissue repair, reducing inflammation, and minimizing discomfort, leading to a quicker recovery and more effective feeding.
For Babies Not Undergoing Frenectomy: The Light Therapy is also beneficial for infants who do not need a tongue-tie procedure or for families who are not ready to proceed with the surgery. The laser can be used to reduce oral tension, improve tongue mobility, and enhance overall feeding function without surgery. This non-invasive option can be a valuable tool in managing feeding difficulties, providing relief and supporting oral development until the family feels ready to consider further intervention.
Pain Relief and Comfort: The Light Therapy provides immediate pain relief by stimulating the body’s natural healing processes and boosting oxygenation, which is essential for reducing pain and inflammation. This helps soothe your baby’s mouth, making the feeding process easier and more comfortable.
Enhancing Muscle Function: By improving blood flow, oxygenation, and reducing tension, the laser enhances the function of the tongue and surrounding muscles. This is particularly important for infants learning to latch and feed effectively, whether or not a frenectomy is performed.
Why Choose Advanced Laser Light Therapy?
Safe for Infants: The Light Therapy is designed to be gentle and safe, making it an excellent option for even the youngest patients.
Effective Results: Many parents notice immediate improvements in their baby’s ability to latch and feed after light therapy, with benefits for oral function.
Non-Invasive and Painless: The therapy is non-invasive, causing no discomfort to your baby. Sessions are quick, allowing you to see results without added stress.
Supporting Overall Wellness: In addition to feeding benefits, Light Therapy can support your baby’s overall well-being by enhancing oxygenation and reducing oral tension that may affect breathing, sleep, and general comfort.
