What is Cold Laser Therapy?
Cold laser therapy, also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or photobiomodulation, is a non-invasive medical treatment that uses low-level laser in a specific range of wavelengths to stimulate and speed up the body's tissues healing at the cellular level. It's often used to treat acute or chronic pain, inflammation, and tissue damage caused by injuries or chronic conditions. The therapy increases blood flow, promotes the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is the energy source for cells, and reduces inflammation. It's a safe and effective option for the treatment of numerous musculoskeletal conditions and for promoting tissue repair after injuries or post surgery, without the risks and side effects involved in drugs or other more invasive treatments.
The Healing Power of Light
When the low-level light photons interact with the body's tissues, several biological mechanisms occur such as:
-
Increased production of ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate), the energy currency of cells, by stimulation of the Mitochondrias (cellular powerhouses) within the targeted tissues. This increases cellular metabolism and activity, speeding up tissue repair and regeneration.​
-
Enhanced Circulation by improving blood flow and vasodilation in the treated area. This helps deliver oxygen, nutrients, and immune cells to the tissues, promoting the healing process.
-
Anti-Inflammatory Effects by suppressing inflammatory mediators, such as cytokines. This helps alleviate pain, swelling, and redness in the treated area.
-
Modulation of Cellular Processes such as gene expression and protein synthesis. This promotes the release of growth factors, stimulates collagen production, and enhances tissue remodelling.
-
Release of endorphins, the body's natural pain killer. This relieves pain, reduces stress and improves your sense of wellbeing.

Endless applications for long term pain relief
Better Technology, Better Results
Here at Bodywave, we work with the latest generation of medical grade super pulsed laser system from Multi Radiance Medicals which is the world’s first and only FDA registered cordless laser with TARGET and DOSE technology.
The equipment’s inbuilt scanner allows:
The precise location of treating points – TARGET
Automatic determination of optimal dose of photons – DOSE
This increases the chances of therapy success because missing the problematic spots or applying the wrong frequency or too low dosage is almost impossible.
The powerful lasers we use (MR5 ActivPro LaserStim and MR5 LaserShower) are marked as the safest high-powered Class 1 lasers on the market.
