What is MLS laser therapy?
Laser therapy safely and painlessly uses targeted light energy to help to reduce pain, inflammation and swelling and to promote healing.
How does MLS laser therapy work?
Laser therapy involves directing light energy into inflamed or damaged tissue to accelerate the body's natural healing process. The laser is placed in direct contact with the skin which enables specific wavelengths of light to penetrate the tissue and interact with molecules within your cells to cause several biochemical effects (see the video above for further information on this).
My pain has been there for a long time, can MLS® laser help me?
Yes, absolutely. Laser therapy is appropriate for both chronic (long term) and acute (new pain/injury) conditions. Generally, the longer you have had a problem, the more sessions you need.
Does it hurt?
No, laser therapy with the MLS® Laser is completely pain free. The system is totally safe to use thanks to its unique safety system. Some patients have reported that that feeling of having the head of the laser machine moved over the area of pain is soothing and similar to a relaxing massage!
