What does it feel like?
Laser therapy treatments must be administered directly to skin, as clothing or topical dressings interfere with delivering light to tissues beneath the skin. Patients will feel a soothing warmth as the therapy is administered.
How long do treatments last?
Treatments are quick, usually 4-7 minutes, depending on the size depth and chronicity of the condition being treated. High-power lasers are able to deliver a log of energy in a small amount of time, allowing therapeutic dosages to be achieved quickly.
How many treatments will I need?
Patients generally see results in 3 to 5 treatments. Clinicians will develop specific plans of care based on diagnosis and the tissues that are involved. Chronic conditions often require more therapy than acute.
