Known Effects of Laser Therapy on the BodyAccelerated Tissue Repair & Cell Growth - The K-Laser penetrates deeply into the tissue and increases the energy available to the cell. This allows it to take on nutrients faster and get rid of waste products. This helps tissues repair faster.Faster Wound Healing - Laser therapy stimulates the production of collagen which allows your tissues to repair. Reduced Fibrous Tissue Formation - Laser therapy reduces the formation of scar tissue. Anti-Inflammation - Laser therapy increases the diameter of blood vessels and allows for lymphatic drainage. These together help reduce swelling. Anti-Pain (Analgesic) - Laser therapy helps produce pain killing neurochemicals as it blocks pain signals from the nerves. Improved Vascular Activity - Laser therapy increases the formation of capillaries in damaged tissues, speeding up healing. Trigger Points and Acupuncture Points - Laser therapy helps reduce trigger points and stimulates acupuncture points.
