What is Cold Laser Therapy?
Cold laser, also called Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT), is low-intensity laser therapy that stimulates healing while using low levels of light. The light energy absorbed by cells allows each cell to “normalise”. This increasing intracellular metabolism results in a reduction in pain, inflammation, oedema and reduces healing time.
Cold lasers are low power lasers which provide non-thermal photons of light. These photons pass through the dermis, epidermis, and the subcutaneous tissue or tissue fat under the skin. They are often used for between 30 – 60 minutes at a time. The light energy is absorbed and interacts with the light sensitive elements of the cell.
Photons absorbed by the cells through laser therapy stimulate the mitochondria to accelerate production of Adenosine 5'-triphosphate, or ATP, which is the principal molecule for storing and transferring energy in cells.
This biochemical increase in cell energy is used to transfer live cells from a state of illness to a stable, healthy state.

How does cold laser therapy work?
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.
Although you’ll feel the laser device touching your skin, the procedure is painless and non-invasive. There will be no sound and you’ll feel no vibration or heat.
