What does the phrase Low Level Laser Therapy mean?
Low level Laser Therapy means the use of low powered laser light, previously referred to as cold lasers or biostimulation lasers to stimulate a biological process. Just as plants exposed to normal sunlight synthesize carbohydrates in their chlorophyll-containing tissues (photosynthesis), laser light stimulates the formation and release of the body’s own chemical compounds. In low level laser therapy, the infrared laser energy has a stimulating effect on tissues because it increases cellular energy. The laser light energy becomes absorbed by the tissues, stimulating their metabolic processes.
