Photons of Light

Cold Laser Therapy supplies energy to the body in the form of non-thermal photons of light.  These do not produce heat.  The laser light goes through the skin and layers of fat, with penetration depths up to 5cm (with Infra-red laser therapy units).

When cold laser light penetrate deeply into the tissue, immune responses of the blood is optimized, resulting in both anti-inflammatory effects.

The results is an increase in cellular metabolism, in turn assist the healing process. Being a Class 3B laser, the VetLaser 3000 does not produce heat. The aim of laser therapy is to heal injured cells.

Safety

Is it Cold Laser Therapy safe?

Cold laser therapy is an extremely safe therapy modality, being approved by the FDA. The technology has been in use for over 30 years with no reports of injury or negative side-effects.

Laserex has an Accession Number from the FDA allowing for the unit to be sold into the US.

Research conducted has shown that low level laser therapy restores energy, balance, energy and oxygen to sick cells without damaging or affecting healthy ones. This  results in rapid healing and the regeneration of cells.

In contrast to other form of treatment, cold laser therapy can be started at any time during the healing process. One must note, however, that the earlier it becomes part of the treatment process, the better and more rapidly the benefits will become.

Anti-inflammatory

Cold laser therapy has an anti-inflammatory effect on the body. This is ideal to treat injured dogs, greyhound in particular who place enormous strain on their muscles during running around the track.

Research studies have proven that cold laser therapy provides oxygen and energy to damaged cells without affecting or harming healthy cells.  Thereby, balance is restored resulting in rapid healing and the regeneration of cells.

It is best to involve laser therapy as early as possible when a dog is injured  to begin the healing process.
