RELIEVE PAIN. HEAL FASTER.
Laser therapy is the use of a specific wavelength of light used to relieve pain, accelerate healing and decrease inflammation. When the light source is placed against the skin the photons penetrate to a depth of several centimetres. This gets absorbed by and increases the activity of the mitochondria (the energy producers of the cell) and creates many positive physiological responses at the cell level.
Simply put, laser therapy utilizes your own body’s own healing powers by stimulating cellular activity.
WHY LASER THERAPY WILL HELP YOU
Laser therapy is safe, painless and fast. Results can be immediate but the most observed results are seen after 4 to 6 treatment sessions. The body continues to benefit from the effect of the therapy for 18-24 hours after treatment. During this time, modulated cellular activity leads to decreased inflammation and pain.
