Cold laser therapy is a low-intensity laser that stimulates healing by using low levels of light. The tissue of the targeted area absorbs the light, eliminating pain, swelling, spasms, and increasing functionality. This noninvasive, painless procedure causes a reaction to the damaged cells, which promotes regeneration.
Treatments are typically 2-3x a week, for 6 to 10 sessions. However, each client’s condition is unique and presents inflammation differently. Acute injuries can be treated everyday, while chronic problems are best handled with 2-3 treatments a week.
Cold laser therapy is gentle, painless, and non-invasive. Most people safely undergo the treatment, however, we don’t recommend pregnant women or cancer patients do this treatment, or those who take photo-sensitive medication.
The low-level laser or LED emits light that penetrates the skin and is absorbed by cells, leading to increased energy production and improved cellular function. This can enhance tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and relieve pain.
No, Cold Laser Treatment is generally painless. Patients may feel a mild, soothing warmth during the procedure, but there is no discomfort or sensation of heat associated with the treatment.
The number of sessions varies based on the specific condition and individual response to the treatment. Some people experience improvement after a few sessions, while others may need more extended therapy.
