What is MLS Laser Therapy?
MLS Laser therapy is a completely safe, non-invasive and painless method of
managing acute or chronic pain and inflammation including in the cases of
arthritis or injury. The laser supplies light energy directly to your cells which
encourages your body’s own healing process and reduces pain.
How Does it Work?
The MLS laser delivers two wavelengths, 808nm and 905nm in a synchronised
manner. Because the stronger 905nm wavelength is nanopulsed (this means
it pulses on and off rapidly), any risk of thermal damage to your tissue is
removed and the laser is completely safe to use. The 808nm wavelength
targets tissue repair and regeneration and the 905nm wavelength has an
analgesic effect and targets pain and inflammation.
The laser works to create vasodilation (expansion of the blood vessels) in the
area it is treating. This leads to an increase in oxygen, healing cells and anti-
inflammatory proteins as well as a ‘wash out’ effect which helps to clear
waste products and pro-inflammatory molecules. Laser therapy also reduces
the speed of the transmissions of pain messages in the nerves and helps
muscles to relax. Finally, laser can help to reduce swelling by flushing out and
pushing through any fluid accumulations.
