The Benefits of Laser Therapy for Acute Injuries
Laser therapy involves the use of therapeutic class 4 lasers to penetrate the skin and target tissues beneath the surface. The light energy interacts with cells, promoting healing at a cellular level. The process is called photobiomodulation, which means the light modulates (or changes) biological activity in cells.

“Class 4 Laser Therapy will be an integral modality worldwide in all fields of healthcare.”
