High Power Laser Therapy
What is High Power Laser Therapy?
High Power Laser Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses 905 nm super pulsed laser energy to deliver therapeutic energy into targeted tissues. The technology is designed to provide a therapeutic effect while minimising unwanted thermal effects. It is designed to help reduce pain and inflammation, decrease localised swelling and support the body's natural healing processes. 905 nm super pulsed laser energy is the ideal wavelength for quick pain reduction and lasting healing
How does it work?
Laser energy is delivered into the targeted treatment area, allowing therapeutic energy to reach deeper tissues. The superpulsed technology is designed to deliver high energy while minimising excessive heat. When laser light interacts with cellular components, particularly fibroblasts, it enhances tissue repair processes to stimulate tissue healing. The energy absorbed by the mitochondria inside cells boosts ATP production, increasing the cell’s energy availability for healing.
