Treatment with High Intensity Laser is safe. But, as always there are safety procedures that should be adhered to. Lasers can be dangerous to the eye, therefore both the patient and the therapist will wear safety goggles.
No, Laser therapy is absolutely painless.
There is no set limit, it is down to the individual and the therapist to discuss and set out the long term desired effect. Traditionally however, treatments tend to range from 5 for acute pain to 15 for chronic.
No, apart from perhaps a slight redness to the treated area immediately after treatment which dissipates within a few hours.
High Intensity Laser (HIL) technology is based on the principle of low level laser therapy (LLLT). However, unlike the low level laser therapy the high power and choice of the right wavelength of the HIL allow for deep tissue penetration and through a natural process of energy transfer (biostimulation and photomechanical effect) it significantly speeds up healing and tissue regeneration. HIL offers a powerful and non-addictive form of acute pain management and is effective especially in treatment of sports injuries, e.g. muscle injury or joint distortion, and lower back pain caused by e.g. herniated disc or disorders in the cervical region causing neck pain.
