2. How does the Erchonia laser work?
The XL-R8 emits low-level (cold) laser light, which pe*****tes the skin and interacts with cells to stimulate natural healing processes. This enhances cellular function, increases circulation, and reduces inflammation without generating heat or causing damage.

• Acute and chronic pain
