What is MLS Laser?
MLS laser therapy is a non-invasive, safe, and efficient treatment method that employs light to alleviate pain, diminish inflammation, and foster the healing of wounds and soft tissues. Our laser stands out as the sole multi-wave locked system, dual-wave, fully automated laser therapy system currently available in the market. This unique technology ensures deeper tissue penetration without generating heat, thus expediting the healing process with no reported side effects. Notably, the FDA has cleared this therapy since 2009.
What Sets Laser Therapy Apart?
MLS laser therapy represents a groundbreaking medical device with an extensive range of applications and remarkable treatment outcomes. The laser functions by transforming light into biochemical energy, which subsequently restores normal cellular functions, leading to the disappearance of symptoms, notably pain.

How is MLS Treatment Done?
The MLS laser, being fully automated, is positioned 8 inches above the skin’s surface, allowing the therapeutic energy to penetrate deep tissue. Here, it interacts with various intracellular bio-molecules, restoring normal cell function and enhancing the body’s innate healing mechanisms. This process can be likened to photosynthesis in plants, where light energy transforms into biochemical energy. The outcome is the restoration of normal cellular functions, symptom alleviation, and an accelerated healing process. Additional benefits include stimulating the immune system response and improving lymphatic drainage.
Why Choose Laser Therapy Over Other Modalities?
MLS laser therapy offers distinct advantages over other treatment methods. It doesn’t necessitate the use of drugs or surgery, comes with no known side effects, and is quick and convenient. Research has demonstrated its equivalence or superior effectiveness when compared to other forms of physical therapy, with reputable institutions like Harvard University conducting these studies.
Is MLS Laser Therapy Painful?
MLS laser therapy typically involves minimal or no sensation during treatment. Patients generally do not experience pain during laser application; in fact, the treatment is often relaxing, and some individuals may even fall asleep during the procedure.
What is the Duration of Treatment?
The duration of MLS laser treatment depends on the size of the treated area and the specific health condition. Treatment times can vary, ranging from 10-15 minutes for smaller areas such as the neck or wrist to over 2 hours for more extensive cases like neuropathy. Typically, patients receive treatments 2 to 3 times per week, with individualized treatment plans.
How Many Sessions Are Required?
The number of treatment sessions needed depends on the nature of the condition being treated. Typically, treatment protocols involve between 6 and 12 sessions. For severe conditions like arthritis, ongoing periodic care may be necessary to manage pain.
Do Laser Therapy Treatments Hurt?
What are the Results?
Patients often experience improvements in their condition, particularly pain reduction, between the first and third treatment sessions. However, for chronic conditions, it may take up to six sessions to realize the full benefits of laser therapy. While results cannot be guaranteed as not everyone responds to laser therapy, it’s important to note that MLS laser therapy can penetrate tissues at a depth of 3-4 cm, providing a more comprehensive approach to healing than lasers with shallower penetration depths.
Are the Results Long-Lasting?
MLS laser therapy focuses on healing rather than masking or temporarily alleviating symptoms. When patients feel better after this therapy, it’s because they are genuinely better. Consequently, the results are often long-lasting. But it is important to noted that some conditions, like arthritis, are degenerative and may require periodic treatments to sustain initial results.
Can MLS Laser Therapy Be Combined with Other Treatments?
Yes, MLS laser therapy can be effectively combined with other therapeutic modalities, including chiropractic care, spinal decompression therapy, massage therapy, soft tissue mobilization, electrotherapy, physical therapy and post-surgical care, enhancing its overall efficacy.
Is MLS laser therapy right for me?
We will evaluate your condition and perform a complete laser therapy examination to determine if you are a candidate for this procedure.
Can laser therapy be used over medical implants or over metal?
Yes, laser therapy is a light treatment. No heating is involved with the surgical or metal implants. It can be used safely with no side effects. It is extremely effective for post-operative wound healing. Many hip and knee replacement patients see us for care.
There are a few medical conditions we need to know about when determining if you are a good MLS candidate. Let us know if you have any history of cancer or HIV, or if you have a pacemaker or other neurostimulator.
10 Benefits of MLS Laser Therapy
- Anti-inflammatory: MLS laser therapy exhibits anti-swelling effects by promoting vasodilation and enhancing lymphatic drainage, which reduces swelling resulting from inflammation or bruising.
- Analgesic: MLS laser therapy has a pain-relieving effect by blocking nerve cell signals to the brain, reducing nerve sensitivity. Additionally, it stimulates the production of pain-killing chemicals like endorphins and enkephalin.
- Accelerated tissue repair and cell growth: Laser photons penetrate deep tissue, expediting cellular reproduction and growth, leading to faster repair of damaged cells.
- Improved vascular activity: MLS laser therapy fosters the formation of new capillaries in damaged tissue, speeding up the healing process, wound closure, and scar reduction.
- Increased metabolic activity: Laser therapy enhances enzyme production, oxygen supply, and nutrient uptake by blood cells.
- Trigger points and acupuncture points: MLS laser therapy provides non-invasive musculoskeletal pain relief by stimulating muscle trigger points and acupuncture points.
- Reduced fibrous tissue formation: It reduces the formation of scar tissue following injuries or surgery.
- Improved nerve function: Laser therapy accelerates nerve cell regeneration and optimizes muscle healing.
- Immunoregulation: MLS laser therapy stimulates immunoglobulin and lymphocyte production, influencing immunity status positively.
- Faster wound healing: It stimulates fibroblast development, essential for collagen production, which aids in wound healing and recovery, especially after surgery.
