Cold laser therapy, also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT), is an innovative procedure that applies specific wavelengths of light to a particular surface of the body. This kind of therapy is used on patients with acute and chronic conditions to reduce or eliminate pain, swelling, spasms, and increase their function. We use technology from Phoenix Thera-Lase Systems that are designed to lessen a patient’s recovery period and lower treatment costs. It is also a noninvasive and painless procedure with no side effects.
This procedure has been proven to be safer and more effective than anti-inflammatory medications, which has the potential to produce negative long-term side effects. It is also FDA-approved and is widely used to treat a number of musculoskeletal conditions and more.
In cold laser therapy, a handheld device is used by the clinician. It is placed 10-12 inches away from the affected area for 60 seconds. The length of how many minutes it is applied depends on how large the affected area is and the required dose for the treatment. The low powered laser light passes through the layers of the skin and penetrates the skin up to 15 cm deep.
Once the cells absorb the light energy from the laser treatment, they will start to stimulate regeneration, which would result in:
Results are usually experienced on the third or fourth treatment, where the swelling is minimized and pain is greatly reduced. You can be sure that the full effect will be more visible as you proceed with the treatment plan.
Phoenix Thera-Lase Systems has exclusive process patents on the most feasible and efficacious wavelength for laser energy. This wavelength has sufficient penetrating and absorption qualities.
Compare to other alternative therapeutic laser devices, Phoenix Thera-Lase Systems’ cutting edge technology is much more efficient. The patented wavelengths, in conjunction with the custom, the strategic internal design of these systems, allow energy levels that are 10 to 200 times higher with effective energy delivered to the injured tissue.
Lower powered lasers of non-optimal wavelengths lead to substantially higher rates of absorption of light energy by melanin (skin pigment) and hiunderpoweredgher absorption rates by the hemoglobin. These devices are under powered and impairs their ability to achieve clinically significant results.
Cold laser therapy has the ability to stimulate all cell types including muscles, ligaments, cartilage, and nerves. This type of therapy is used to treat:
The therapy should not be used on any type of suspicious cancerous lesions or carcinomas, thyroid glands, and/or pregnant patients. Pregnant patients are not recommended to undergo the procedure because of the possible effects on the unborn child which are unknown.
Furthermore, it should not be directly aimed at the eyes because it may cause serious damage. During the procedure, the patients wear protective glasses to eliminate direct exposure to the eyes.
One of the major benefits of undergoing cold laser therapy is that the procedure is noninvasive, which means that it does not require any surgical incision. This implies that there are no long recovery periods. Unlike other pharmaceutical medication, cold laser therapy is nonaddictive and eliminates long-term complications.
Cold laser therapy does not require taking any type of medication, which is good for people who are avoiding prescription drugs. It has also been found that this type of therapy does not have any serious side effects given that the treatment is performed well.

InDepth Laser Therapy is excited to offer Phoenix Thera-Lase technology. Many of you may be asking, “What is laser therapy?”
It is a non-invasive, drug-free, and surgery-free treatment modality. Aside from this, it is also:
Laser treatment for pain relief involves using a non- invasive device that produces deep penetrating light energy to treat pain conditions. This type of cold laser therapy is also known as LLLT or low-power laser therapy. The laser therapy stimulates healing and is proven to be a noninvasive, drug-free treatment for pain relief and helps in tissue cell regeneration. It is FDA-approved and its efficacy has been successfully demonstrated in studies over the past years, including one done by Harvard University researchers.
Specific wavelengths of light are applied to the affected area, where it will enter into damaged cells to stimulate intercellular activity. It will help reduce pain, regenerate cells, and speed up healing. The process is complete once the cells recover from the damage.
The targeted area is most often treated at 1275 nanometers (nm) of wavelength. During the procedure, you will feel a soothing warmth and possibly a tingling sensation. It will not cause any pain since it is a noninvasive pain treatment. The procedure usually lasts from 10 to 30 minutes depending on the protocol.
Q: Are there any side effects associated with laser therapy treatment?
A: Health care professionals have been using laser therapy treatments for a decade and research has shown that it has no side effects.
Q: Can laser therapy be combined with other treatments?
A: It can be combined with other types of treatments, such as acupuncture and massage therapy. Just make sure that it is approved by your doctor.
Q: How many treatment sessions should I undergo?
A: The number of laser therapy treatments depends on the patient’s case. If the pain is the result of an acute condition, there will be at least 6 sessions to reduce pain. If the pain is chronic, the required number of treatments may reach 10 to 15 sessions.
Q: How soon can I see the results from the treatment?
A: You may experience positive results right after the first laser therapy treatment. The pain is typically reduced after the third or fourth session.
Q: Is laser treatment for pain effective?
A: Laser therapy is effective in most cases. It is commonly used to fight persistent pain and inflammation. Ask our physicians today if laser treatment is a viable option for you.
Q: Does laser treatment in San Diego hurt?
A: We assure you that the treatment doesn’t hurt. Old injuries may be aggravated for a few days after the treatment, but for most patients, this feeling is short term and will only last for a few days.
Q: How does the laser treatment reduce pain and inflammation?
A: Even if researchers are not 100% sure on how and why laser treatment is effective, what we know for sure is that they can improve circulation, support cell health, release endorphins that fight pain, reduce inflammation, and boost the development of new and healthy tissues.
Q: Can laser therapy make the pain worse?
A: Using pain medications may have serious side effects, including addiction. Our laser therapy is considered as an alternative pain management treatment in San Diego that does not involve medications. It is safe and does not have any side effects.
