Low Level Laser Therapy in Maclean and Yamba.  What is Low Level Laser Therapy? 

Low level laser therapy in Maclean and Yamba. Low level laser therapy (LLLT), also known as Cold Laser Therapy or Photobiomodulation Therapy, uses light to boost the body’s natural healing ability in response to pain, inflammation, swelling and tissue damage whilst increasing oxygen levels to sick and injured cells. Our super pulsed 50w laser is approved and registered by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) and produces no heat, but is powerful enough to penetrate up to 12cm into the body. This therapy is now used by GPs, surgeons, dentists and other health professionals all around Australia and the world.

How does Low Level Laser Therapy work?

When LLLT is applied to the skin, light is absorbed by the damaged cells. This in turn triggers a reaction in the mitochondria (the powerhouse of our cells) to produce more energy, stimulating the body’s immune response and increasing blood supply to the damaged cells. The light also stimulates tissue repair and reduces inflammation, swelling and pain. It targets the underlying condition to promote healing, which means the results are effective and long lasting.
