Hello! We are so glad you are interested in learning more about laser therapy.
High-power therapy laser provides a safe, non-invasive solution for pain management, wound healing and rehabilitation. The Platinum Class IV laser is the most innovative and effective Class IV therapeutic laser on the market. High-energy laser therapy with the Platinum 4 safely penetrates deeply into the body to diminish pain and stimulate healing. Laser therapy provides a safe solution for many peoples’ pain.
Laser therapy works by stimulating production of cellular energy in damaged cells and by enhancing the cell membrane permeability. This promotes the speed and the quality of healing, enhances the exchange of nutrients and wastes across the cell membrane and improves elasticity of injured tissues. Laser therapy also modulates pain and reduces inflammation. It can be used immediately on acute injuries, over broken skin and over metal implants. Laser therapy enhances the rate and quality of healing of acute injuries and can help with the resolution of chronic complaints such as arthritis.
FAQ
How often do I need to do laser?
Laser sessions should be done 2 to 4 times per week to be most effective. Each laser session builds on the previous to get the highest healing potential. Once you’ve reached your goals, it is common to use laser on a maintenance schedule once or twice a month.
Do I feel anything while it’s being done?
You will likely feel some warmth that is calming during your treatment. You should not expect to feel any pain.
I have a tattoo, can I still get laser done?
While the laser has the potential to pull the ink in your tattoo, we have never seen it happen and have done laser over many tattoos. We have the ability to change the strength of the laser to accommodate for the dark ink.
Can you laser through clothes?
No, it needs to be on your skin.
What should I expect after a laser session?
After you are done with your laser session, we recommend you don’t ice the affected area for 24 hours. This allows the effects of the laser to continue on and not be slowed down by the ice. About 3-4 hours after your adjustment is when you will likely feel the maximum benefit from that laser session.
