Vlok procedure-intravenous laser irradiation of blood

Since the 1960s, when the laser — a single-color polarized light with minimal beam divergence — was discovered, all research into its potential has only confirmed the positive therapeutic effects of laser irradiation. In Ukraine, the properties of lasers have been used for over 30 years, and the development of high-tech medical equipment has made it possible to include laser therapy in comprehensive treatment methods for both general and localized complex diseases. Modern technologies have made irradiation procedures as convenient and effective as possible.

Mechanism of Action of ILIB (Intravenous Laser Blood Irradiation)

Laser therapy is currently leading in medicine not only because of its simplicity and universality. Long-term practice shows that low-intensity laser radiation (LILR) can eliminate many pathological conditions in the body without side effects, is well tolerated, successfully combines with other therapies, and enhances the effect of medications.

Despite being an invasive method, it's important to understand that no foreign substances are introduced into the blood during ILIB. Intravenous irradiation allows direct exposure of light on the blood without any loss of radiation power, which provides a stronger effect compared to non-invasive techniques. During the interaction of laser radiation with the biological substrate of blood, photophysical, photochemical, and photobiological reactions occur step by step, enhancing the body’s self-regulation system and gently correcting disruptions in homeostasis — the patient feels a clear improvement in their overall physiological condition. Regulation of internal processes occurs at the level of:

The spatial structure of blood elements;
Blood composition and its properties;
Response of organs and tissues.

Potential of ILIB

All changes resulting from ILIB are therapeutic in nature. It has pain-relieving effects, reduces inflammation, stimulates immunity, lowers the risk of allergic reactions, relieves spasms in lungs, blood vessels, and bile ducts, decreases cholesterol and blood acidity, and calms the nervous system. For a long time after even a single ILIB session, patients may experience:

Improved blood parameters, including transport functions;
Increased antioxidant activity of blood;
Stimulated production of red blood cells;
Increased number of active lymphocytes;
Enhanced resistance of the body to nonspecific factors;
Expanded blood vessels and improved microcirculation;
Normalized tissue metabolism;
Activation of intracellular DNA repair systems;
Normalization of all metabolic processes;
Stabilization of energy balance;
Stimulation of organ regeneration processes.

The mechanism of ILIB once again proves that the state of blood plays one of the key roles in awakening the body's ability to self-regulate. Therefore, simply improving the quality of blood is already sufficient to prevent disease recurrence and pathologies in various organs. The body’s own internal forces distribute the received light energy through the bloodstream exactly where it is most needed — making it impossible to cause harm through this procedure.

Indications and Contraindications for ILIB

Since ILIB allows the most stable impact on blood with maximum absorption of the necessary radiation dose, just 20 minutes for adults and up to 7 minutes for children are enough to achieve a therapeutic effect in a single session. Depending on the severity and progression of the disease, the full course of blood irradiation treatment can last up to 20 days, with one session every 1–2 days. Indications for performing the procedure include general wellness improvement and treatment of diseases affecting:

Respiratory organs;
Cardiovascular system;
Nervous system;
Musculoskeletal system;
Gastrointestinal tract;
Gynecology;
Hormonal imbalances.

Contraindications for ILIB include natural altered states of the body or pathological conditions during which a sharp reaction to irradiation is observed:

Pregnancy;
Malignant tumors;
Chronic overproduction of thyroid hormones;
Mental disorders;
Chronically low blood pressure;
Feverish condition;
Reduced blood coagulation capacity;
Blood thickening syndrome.

ILIB Application at Our Health Resort

"Matrix-ILIB" and "Lazmix-ILIB" are medical devices developed through joint efforts by the State Center for Laser Medicine and NTC "Matrix." The wavelengths and power levels of these devices range from 0.36 to 0.9 micrometers and 1 to 35 mW respectively — allowing individualized, highly effective treatment regimens while maintaining low beam intensity. Additional modes involving ultraviolet or infrared light can be used if necessary to enhance the procedure’s effectiveness.

Our specialists perform intravenous irradiation using short optical fibers (up to 20 cm), ensuring direct impact on blood without interference from other tissues and organs.

Ongoing study of LILR methods, clinical research, and the practical experience of our center’s physicians allow us not only to predict outcomes but also to guarantee the safety of this procedure. Treatment using our methods is not only effective but also accelerates recovery after illness. The environment, European-level service, nutritious meals, beneficial leisure activities, and innovative treatment approaches — all together help patients recover faster and serve as excellent health prevention for your entire family.
