Short answer
Low-level laser delivers light energy into tissue at an intensity that produces no heat damage and no sensation beyond mild warmth.
How it works
Light energy at non-thermal intensity
The unit emits specific wavelengths of light that penetrate to a set depth depending on the setting used. Nothing is cut, injected, or heated.
Because it is comfortable, it is often the tool of choice for sensitive areas and for patients who cannot tolerate pressure-based therapies.
Safety
Precautions taken during treatment
Protective eyewear is used, and treatment is avoided over certain areas based on your history, which is why the intake questions come first.
Sessions run several minutes per region and are typically combined with adjusting or soft tissue work in the same visit.
