Low-level laser therapy has a specific biomodulation effect on body tissues. This is a term used to describe the photo-bio-chemical effect that occurs within the tissue cells as the photons pass through them. Photons have two properties: they are light and they are a particle.

Reduces the excitability of nervous tissue...
The photons of light energy enter the body as negative ions. The body respond to the negative ions by sending positive ions like calcium, magnesium, and other minerals to go the area being treated. These positive ions are essential to the nerves thereby relieving pain.

Increases the growth of cells...
Cold Laser Therapy accelerates cell reproduction for faster wound healing.

Increases metabolic activity...
Cold Laser Therapy causes higher outputs of specific enzymes, increased oxygen and food through the cell membranes causing greater mitochondrial production of ATP (energy). Increased ATP production allows cells to accept nutrients faster and get rid of waste products faster resulting in faster and better wound healing.

Reduced fibrous tissue formation...
Cold Laser Therapy reduces formation of scar tissue. By increasing collagen production less scar tissue is formed at the damaged site. Scar tissue has little elasticity.

Anti-inflammatory action...
Cold Laser Therapy helps to reduce swelling to offer enhanced joint mobility following injury.
