Do you ever feel like your body’s “ check engine” light has been on and you’re still driving it like “ nah it’ll be fine”?
Is Theralase cold laser therapy for you?
During this procedure, different wavelengths and outputs of low-level light are applied directly to a targeted area. The body tissue then absorbs the light. The red and near-infrared light cause a reaction, and the damaged cells respond with a physiological reaction that promotes regeneration.
For deeper pe*******on of 5 inches below the skin surface, wavelengths between 660nm & 905nm are used.
Although you’ll feel the laser device touching your skin, the procedure is painless and non invasive.
