Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)

How Does LLLT Work?

When a low level laser is placed on injured tissues or cells, such as muscles or ligaments, light energy is absorbed. The absorption of light stimulates the damaged cells to increase their energy production, known as ATP, which is used to restore the damaged cells back to healthy active cells. Low Level Laser Therapy penetrates through the skin, deep into the tissue to restore normal cell energy, circulation, and tissue repair.
