Low Level Laser/ PBM Therapy
What is PBM Therapy? Or Low Level Laser Therapy?
Photobiomodulation Therapy, also known as Low Level Laser Therapy, has been used and researched for over 40 years. It supports the body to heal at a cellular level, switching on chemical pathways that support cellular energy production, regeneration and the healing process. Its a non invasive restorative therapy that uses light giving energy to cells to instigate regeneration of new, healthier and better functioning tissue.
Photobiomodulation has been proven to...
- help reduce pain, inflammation and swelling
- accelerate recovery after all forms of surgery or injury
- assist in regeneration of skin tissue
- reduce inflammation associated with dermatitis, eczema/psoriasis, acne, burns
- Improve circulation through vasodilating effects of PBM Therapy
