Low Level Laser Therapy
By: Melbourne Combined Natural Therapies
Cold Laser Therapy or Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) is a treatment that utilizes specific wavelengths of light to interact with tissue and help to accelerate the healing process.
Working Process Of LLLT Low level lasers are handheld devices used by the therapist and are often the size of a flashlight. The laser is placed directly over the injured area for 30 seconds to several minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated and the dose provided by the cold laser unit.
Once the light energy passes through the layers of skin and reaches the target area, it is absorbed by the light sensitive elements in the cell and start the healing process.
