Intravenous Laser Therapy
Intravenous Laser Therapy
Intravenous laser therapy is considered an innovative medical procedure in which light of a specific wavelength is delivered directly into the bloodstream – a method also known as “blood irradiation.” This is achieved through a fine optical fiber that is inserted into a vein, typically in the crook of the arm or forearm. The therapy aims to stimulate biochemical processes at the cellular level and to support the body’s natural healing mechanisms.
Duration of a session: 20 to 60 minutes
Number of sessions: Varies depending on
the condition, typically 5–10
Frequency: Daily or with gaps of up to 7 days

This approach is also integrated into preventive medicine, where it aims to fortify the immune system and support overall vitality. Its potential applications in longevity, anti-aging, and Long COVID are currently attracting significant interest.
An innovative approach to enhancing quality of life
Transcutaneous laser applications are limited in their ability to deliver sufficient energy to deeper tissues, as the skin acts as a natural barrier. Most wavelengths are absorbed in the upper layers and fail to penetrate to a therapeutically relevant depth. Intravenous laser therapy (also referred to as blood irradiation) addresses this limitation by introducing a fiber-optic light guide (Weberneedle® Lasercath) directly into the vascular system. This allows direct irradiation of circulating blood, enabling systemic effects at the cellular and biochemical levels.
Which wavelengths are used in intravenous laser therapy?
The full spectrum of therapeutic laser wavelengths can be utilized depending on the clinical indication. Each wavelength penetrates tissue differently and interacts with specific cellular components, allowing for tailored therapeutic strategies across a range of conditions.

Integrating infusions with laser treatment
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) enables the activation of photosensitive agents, known as photosensitizers, deep within the body. These substances are administered intravenously and accumulate in the bloodstream before being activated by laser light of a specific wavelength. This opens up a wide range of additional applications.

The infusion does not necessarily need to contain photosensitive agents. Many practitioners attest to the enhanced benefits of combining high-dose substances with the power of laser light.
In the lifestyle and longevity sector, this often involves vitamin cocktails or NAD+. In treating chronic conditions and inflammatory diseases, natural compounds like curcumin, Boswellia, or artesunate are frequently used. The combination of infusion and laser therapy offers a powerful synergistic effect.
We are happy to advise you on complementary infusion therapies.

The Weberneedle® two-way or Y-cannula simplifies this procedure by allowing simultaneous laser irradiation and infusion through a single venous access. This minimizes patient discomfort by reducing the number of punctures.
Accessories
Weber Medical offers specially designed sterile fiber-optic light guides (Weberneedle® Lasercath) along with compatible puncture needles for invasive therapies, which connect securely to the laser module via a Luer-Lock adapter. For venous access, the Weberneedle® Butterfly, Weberneedle® plastic cannula, or Weberneedle® Y-cannula are used.
