What is MLS Laser Therapy?
MLS Laser Therapy is an innovative treatment approach that uses dual wavelengths of light to effectively treat pain, inflammation, and edema. Here at Pacific Rheumatology Medical Center, we specialize in this state-of-the-art therapy which has been scientifically proven to accelerate cell repair and growth, improve vascular activity, increase metabolic activity, stimulate trigger and acupuncture points, reduce fibrous tissue formation, and reduce swelling caused by bruising or inflammation.
How Does MLS Laser Therapy Work?
MLS Laser Therapy uses a patented multi-wave locked system that combines 808nm (anti-edema and anti-inflammatory) and 905nm (analgesic) laser light. The light energy penetrates deeply into damaged cells and stimulates cellular activity. As a result, the cells of tendons, ligaments, and muscles repair themselves faster. Unlike many pharmacological treatments, MLS Laser Therapy is non-invasive, painless, and has no known side effects.
Benefits of MLS Laser Therapy
● Pain Relief: MLS Laser Therapy effectively treats pain without side effects associated with prescription painkillers and NSAIDs.
● Anti-inflammatory: MLS technology has anti-edema effects that help decrease swelling quickly.
● Accelerated Tissue Repair and Cell Growth: Photons of light from lasers penetrate deeply into tissue and accelerate cellular reproduction and growth.
● Improved Vascular Activity: Laser light increases the formation of new capillaries in damaged tissue, speeding up the healing process.
● Increased Metabolic Activity: MLS Laser Therapy creates higher outputs of specific enzymes, greater oxygen, and food particle loads for blood cells.
● Reduced Fibrous Tissue Formation: MLS Laser Therapy reduces the formation of scar tissue following tissue damage from cuts, scratches, burns, or surgery.
● Faster Wound Healing: Laser light stimulates fibroblast development and accelerates collagen synthesis in damaged tissue.
