What is MLS Laser Therapy?
Multi-Wave Locked System laser therapy is a class IV laser and uses synchronized diodes. It helps in treating pain, inflammation, and arthritis. It has the features given below:
- It features 2 wavelengths; 808 nm and 905 nm. The wavelengths are in the infrared spectrum. They are invisible to the eye but can be seen using a cell phone camera
- The 808 wavelength is for inflammation and is long lasting. The 905 wavelength is analgesic and is fast acting. Together they are very effective
- The MLS wavelengths combine and synchronize the 808 nm and 905 nm in a unique and proprietary way. The MLS wave form is patented
- There are over 3,000 studies performed in the last three decades that validate the efficacy of laser therapy
- Laser therapy was cleared by the FDA in 2002 and is currently being used by a variety of medical specialties, as well as professional sports teams, including the Dallas Cowboys and Cleveland Cavaliers
- The laser can penetrate 3-4 cm deep and generates no heat. There are no known harmful effects
How Do Lasers Work?
- Laser energy stimulates cells to remove toxins, like histamine and cytokine, out of cells
- They allow oxygen and food loads into the cell
- They block the pain signals to the nociceptors in the brain and release endorphins and encephalin
- Laser light increases ATP production and cell growth. It brings blood flow to the area and increases angiogenesis of capillaries
- MLS laser therapy can actually decrease healing time by 30-40%
- In a nutshell, the MLS laser stimulates the mitochondria in cells to jump start the body's own healing process
- Like an antibiotic, each treatment is cumulative in its effectiveness, building off the previous treatments
