Low Level Laser therapy is the application of safe, low- power laser light to injuries and lesions to stimulate healing of affected tissues.
Low- level lasers should not be confused with the high-powered laser devices used in science and industry.Known by such names as “cold laser”, “soft laser”, and “biostimulating laser”, low-level lasers have been used as a therapeutic assistants in many countries for over thirty years. Over 2000 worldwide studies have been to prove that the low-level laser is safe. Based on research completed by the US underwriters laboratories (UL), the Subtle Energies Q1000 low-level laser devices that Naturally Be offers is Registered with the US FDA, as Class I laser devices.
Class I laser devices present minimal potential harm to the user, and are generally classified by the FDA as Non-Significant Risk (NSR) devices, which can be used for home use.
Low-level laser therapy has been used for:
- Treatment of traumatic, inflammatory, and overuse injuries
- Pain relief and healing for arthritic lesions
- Reduction of abscesses
- Treatment of persistent non-healing wounds such as ulcers and cold sores
- Minimization of keloid formation and adhesions
- Reduction of edema
- Reduction of pain from surgery and other treatments
- Encouraging the formation of new collagen and cartilage and the regrowth of tendons and ligaments in damaged joints
Use of low-level laser therapy can also encourage the formation of new collagen and cartilage in inflamed joints, and can aid in the regrowth of tendons and ligaments. For a more detailed description of low-level laser therapy, please see the Subtle Energies website.
