What Is Infrared Laser Therapy?
Infrared laser therapy, also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or photobiomodulation, uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate healing at the cellular level.
The laser light penetrates the skin and reaches deeper tissues, where it stimulates cellular activity and increases energy production within cells.
This helps the body repair damaged tissues more efficiently.
How Infrared Laser Therapy Works
When infrared light enters the tissue, it stimulates mitochondria within cells. This process increases cellular energy (ATP production), which promotes healing and reduces inflammation.
Infrared laser therapy helps:
โข Reduce inflammation in injured tissues
โข Stimulate cellular repair
โข Improve circulation
โข Reduce pain signals
โข Accelerate tissue recovery
Because the treatment works at the cellular level, it can support healing for both acute injuries and chronic pain conditions.
