What is laser therapy?

Laser therapy, or low-level laser therapy, is a treatment that causes cellular improvements using low-level red light. Also called cold laser therapy, low-level laser therapy is FDA-approved to treat or manage many conditions that disrupt the function of your cells. 

During the treatment, the team directs the laser near your skin’s surface. Your cells absorb the photons from the light, which stimulate healing within your tissues. This improves function at a cellular level and beyond. 

Unlike other lasers, low-level or cold lasers do not heat your tissues. They also don’t cause any vibration, pain, or pressure throughout treatment. A single laser therapy session at Nizhoni Functional Medicine takes just 15-30 minutes, and you can go home right away when you’re done. 

What are the benefits of laser therapy?
