About Cold Laser Therapy

So-called “cold” laser therapy gets it’s name from the fact that there are two basic types of medical lasers.

  1. “Hot” lasers used in cosmetic and surgical procedures that burn or destroy  tissue
  2. “Cold” lasers cause no heat or tissue destruction

Lasers are machines that emit light energy in a very specific wavelength. In fact, the wavelength causes the light to be a certain color and intensity. Further, the laser beam can then be manipulated by changing the frequency (how quickly the beam is pulsed) to change it’s therapeutic effect.
