How does Cold Low Level Laser work?
Simply stated, laser light energy converts into chemical energy which initiates a cascade of events at a cellular level:
- Improves blood and oxygen flow to affected/ injured areas which stimulates the healing process.
- Stimulates endorphin release which equates to pain relief.
- Strengthening the immune system response by increasing levels of lymphocyte activity.
- Reduces formation of scar tissue.
- Stimulated nerve function which may decrease numbness associated with certain conditions.
Will I feel anything?
No, the therapy is painless and totally non-invasive. The pure light of the lasers causes photochemical reactions in the cells. The effect is unlike High Power Lasers which are used in surgery to cut and coagulate tissues.
