COLD LASER THERAPY
What is Cold Laser Therapy?
Cold Laser or Low Level Laser Therapy is the use of light or photon energy with the unique property of being able to penetrate up to 2 inches below the surface of the skin to cause an increase in cellular metabolism with no tissue damage what so ever. The increase in tissue metabolism results in biostimulation which increases circulation in an area resulting in more oxygen to the region which promotes increased healing potential.
