WHAT IS MLS® (Multiwave Locked System) LASER THERAPY?
Laser therapy involves directing laser light energy into inflamed or damaged tissues to accelerate the body’s natural healing process.
The laser is placed in direct contact with the skin which enables light photons to penetrate the tissue and interact with molecules within the cells to cause several biochemical effects.
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT?
After a full clinical assessment of your condition, we will tailor make a treatment protocol just for you.
The number of sessions you will require will depend on the condition – this will be discussed in your initial appointment.
Treatments are quick and painless and often you will feel the results during the first treatment. For chronic conditions it may take a few sessions for you to feel the effects, but the cellular benefits will be immediate!
High power: perfectly controlled. And synchronized.
Advantages:
- Strengthening the anti inflammatory, analgesic, anti-edema effects
- Fast pain reduction from the very first sessions
- Improvement of local microcirculation
- Short treatment times and few treatments required
- Improvement of patient mobility, functionality and quality of life
