What is Laser Therapy
Laser therapy uses light waves of specific wavelength to cause photobiomodulation, or the alteration of cellular and tissue physiology. Light absorbed by cellular components stimulates electrons and activates cells to promote growth, proliferation, migration, and repair. By carefully controlling the amount, location, and delivery method of the light, we can modulate biological processes to achieve the best therapeutic outcomes for patients. Our SpectraVet unit and probes offer a highly effective, well-tolerated, drug-free, and side-effect-free treatment method.

- Reduces Inflammation: It targets inflamed areas, reducing swelling and inflammation.
- Accelerated Healing: By promoting cellular activity, laser therapy can speed up the healing process for wounds and post-surgical recovery.
- Improved Circulation: It enhances blood flow, which helps deliver oxygen and nutrients to tissues, aiding in recovery.
- Reduction of Scar Tissue: Laser therapy can minimize the formation of scar tissue, promoting better healing.
- Increased Collagen Production: It boosts collagen production, which is essential for tissue repair and regeneration.
- Non-Invasive and Drug-Free: Laser therapy is a non-invasive treatment that doesn’t require medication, making it a safe option for dogs
