Cold Laser Cold Laser Therapy is a safe, non-invasive, painless, drug free and sterile treatment modality that harnesses the power of ruby coloured, low level laser light, to stimulate the body’s healing processes. With no known adverse side effects, Cold Laser Therapy is rapidly becoming the treatment of choice for enhancing the speed, quality, and repair of damaged tissues in the skin, muscles, tendons, ligaments and bones.
For over fifty years, Cold Laser Therapy, which is also known as Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) and Photobiomodulation Therapy (PBMT), has been used by medical professionals worldwide. They acknowledge the therapeutic benefits especially when orthodox interventions have been ineffective and rapid healing is required.
How does Cold Laser Therapy work? Based on the principles of traditional acupuncture, treatment involves using cutting edge technology which emits ruby coloured, low level laser light to a predetermined depth in the body. In comparison to acupuncture, using ‘needles of light’ from a low level laser probe tends to be quicker, more effective and without discomfort or pain.
Applying low level laser light stimulates the cells’ mitochondria and promotes increased energy production. This initiates a cascade of biochemical reactions that enhances tissue regeneration and healing. By increasing circulation, reducing inflammation, and accelerating cellular metabolism, increases the body’s healing potential.
Treatments activate the release of endorphins which are the body's natural pain killers thereby, immediate results of pain relief are usually experienced.

Are there conditions to avoid treating? Although there are no reported adverse effects from Cold Laser Therapy, practitioners are advised not to treat clients with cancer, epilepsy, organ transplants, a pacemaker or if they are pregnant.
Is Cold Laser Therapy safe? One of the most significant advantages of Cold Laser Therapy is its outstanding safety profile. Practitioners use a hand held device called a probe that is applied directly to the skin. Laser probes do not heat the skin, burn, cut or damage tissues as opposed to surgical or aesthetic lasers which apply heat and are invasive.
With no known side effects, this non-invasive treatment option is suitable for individuals of all ages. Whether you're an athlete, a senior adult, or a child, cold laser therapy can provide effective and safe healing benefits.
