What is Laser Therapy?
Laser therapy, also known as photobiomodulation (PBM), uses therapeutic infrared light to stimulate healing at the cellular level.
This light penetrates through fur, skin, and tissue to reach damaged areas, where it targets the mitochondria inside cells. This process helps cells regenerate and return to optimal function, resulting in:
Reduced pain and inflammation
Accelerated tissue repair
Improved circulation
Enhanced healing response
Laser therapy works only on damaged cells, helping them recover faster while leaving healthy tissue unaffected.
