HOW DOES LASER THERAPY WORK?

LASER therapy triggers two main types of effects in the targeted area: 

  1. Analgesic effect: It decreases pain by temporarily inhibiting the pain receptors in the treated area.  This can also help to reduce reliance on pain medication.
  2. Anti-inflammatory effect:The DolorClast® High Power Laser decreases the amount of Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) – a fatty acid derivative responsible for mediating acute inflammation. When released in the tissues, PGE2 leads to dilatation of blood vessels, which in turn manifests as redness and swelling. By mimicking the effect of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) while protecting clients from their side-effects and possible addiction, high power laser therapy effectively kick-starts the healing process.

DOES LASER THERAPY HURT?

No, the treatment is not painful at all! In comparison to other high power lasers, the patient perceives almost no thermal effect. This is thanks to the specially selected wavelength and short pulse duration of 100 ns, which keep the treated tissues below the thermal threshold and avoid the risk of burns. To be certain to avoid thermal heating, the action mode: “Hypersensitive” further avoids the risk of burns in certain patient groups and application areas, such as tattoos, sensitive skin etc.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO SEE RESULTS?

A powerful analgesic (pain relieving) effect will be felt 5 minutes after the end of the Laser treatment and is. In addition, the decrease of acute inflammation kicks in 60 minutes after the end of the laser session, leading to quick absorption of edema and faster healing in the damaged tissue.

HOW LOND DOES THE TREATMENT LAST & HOW OFTEN WILL I NEED IT?

A single treatment of LASER lasts 3 minutes in total.  Most clients see a reduction in pain within 5 minutes of having LASER. How many treatments a client will need depends on the severity and for how long the injury has been present. The ideal LASER protocol is 3 sessions within 7 days, then 2 per week for up to 10 sessions. As a guide, expect 3-5 sessions over 1-2 weeks for most presentations

WHEN CAN I RESUME NORMAL ACTIVITIES AFTER A LASER SESSION?

Daily activities can be resumed immediately after the session, since Laser treatment does not require any down-time. Indeed, thanks to the analgesic and anti-inflammatory actions of the laser, you are likely to feel much better even after the first session.
