During this procedure, different wavelengths and outputs of low-level light are applied directly to a targeted area. The body tissue then absorbs the light.
The red and near-infrared light cause a reaction and the damaged cells respond with a physiological reaction that promotes regeneration.
The procedure is painless and noninvasive.
The use of cold laser therapy is growing in traditional medical practice and as a complementary or alternative therapy. It’s approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The main uses for cold laser therapy are tissue repair and relief from pain and inflammation due to tendon, ligament and muscle injury.
