Recovery
How Does LLLT Work?
LLLT speeds recovery times and reduces postoperative pain by promoting tissue repair and reducing inflammation. It uniquely employs a low-intensity laser with a wavelength between 600 and 1000 nanometers, which is proven to be the ideal wavelength to prompt faster healing.
We use LLLT to stimulate cellular activity, increase blood flow and promote the body's natural healing processes. The result is faster recovery, reduced pain, and improved function—all without the need for invasive procedures or medications.
