What is Laser Therapy?
Laser therapy, also known as cold laser therapy or low-level laser therapy (LLLT), is a non-invasive treatment that uses specific wavelengths of light to penetrate the skin and tissues. This light energy promotes cellular regeneration and increases blood circulation, aiding in the healing process and reducing pain and inflammation.
