MLS Class IV laser therapy in Novato CA

How Does Cold Laser Therapy Work?

Class IV level laser therapy in Novato CA works by delivering light energy to injured tissue, causing the tissue to heal at a quicker rate. The light energy delivered to the tissue works at a cellular level. The lasers are delivered with a high tech robotic arm and handheld devices. During your treatment session, the laser is placed directly over the injured area for anywhere from 30 seconds to several minutes. It depends on the size of the area undergoing treatment and the goal of treatment on the day.

LLLT stimulates a micro-structure within your cells called the Mitochondria, to produce higher amounts of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) to enhance healing and restore normal cell function. ATP is an energy molecule found in all forms of life, and when a cell is sick or injured the mitochondria's ability to produce ATP is reduced. By using certain wavelengths of light, this can stimulate cells to produce more ATP and your tissue will heal faster. It is similar to when sunlight hits your skin and triggers the process to make vitamin D or when sunlight hits the leaves of plants and triggers photosynthesis.
