What to Expect
Comfortable and non-invasive
Quick sessions
Treatments are brief, painless, and require no downtime.
Targeted energy
Synchronized wavelengths are applied over the treatment area.
Paired with your plan
Often combined with physical therapy and other care to enhance recovery.
Reported Benefits
Ten benefits described by the manufacturer
MLS laser therapy's manufacturer, Cutting Edge Laser Technologies, describes ten biological effects of the treatment. We share them here for education — with an honest caveat below.
Anti-inflammatory
Reduces inflammation and edema (swelling) by stimulating lymphatic drainage and vasodilation.
Pain relief (analgesic)
Stimulates production of endorphins and enkephalins — the body's own pain-blocking chemicals. Reduced pain is also a secondary result of reduced swelling and inflammation.
Accelerated tissue repair & cell growth
Photons penetrate deep into tissue and increase the energy available to cells, so they can take on nutrients, remove waste, and repair themselves faster.
Improved vascular activity
Increases the formation of capillaries in damaged tissue to support the healing process, along with temporary vasodilation.
Increased metabolic activity
Creates higher outputs of specific enzymes and greater oxygen loads for blood cells.
Trigger & acupuncture points
Stimulates muscle trigger points and acupuncture points to non-invasively provide musculoskeletal pain relief.
Reduced scar-tissue formation
Reduces the formation of scar tissue following tissue damage from cuts, scratches, burns, or surgery.
Improved nerve function
Accelerates the process of nerve-cell reconnection to help optimize muscle healing.
Immunoregulation
Stimulates immunoglobulins and lymphocytes, and activates production of ATP — the major carrier of energy for cell repair.
Faster wound healing
Stimulates the development of fibroblasts, a protein essential for tissue repair — which is why MLS laser therapy is also used to support post-surgical healing.
These descriptions of mechanism are summarized from the manufacturer's patient literature ("10 Benefits of MLS Laser Therapy," Cutting Edge Laser Technologies). The strength of clinical evidence varies by condition, which is why we use MLS laser as a supportive modality alongside physical therapy and other proven care — not as a stand-alone cure. Individual results vary.

Patient Reviews
What patients say
“I have had knee problems for years as a powerlifter, plus a recent wrist strain. I had laser treatments to my knee and wrist — this was my first session and I felt a huge difference! My joints feel amazing.”

Questions, Answered
Frequently asked questions
Does MLS laser therapy hurt?+
No. It's non-invasive and painless, with no downtime afterward.
What is it used for?+
It's commonly used to reduce pain and inflammation, improve circulation, and support recovery — often alongside physical therapy.
How does it actually relieve pain?+
Per the manufacturer's literature, the laser stimulates the body's production of endorphins and enkephalins — natural chemicals that block the transmission of painful sensations to the brain — while also reducing the swelling and inflammation that contribute to pain.
Can it help with healing after surgery or an injury?+
The manufacturer's literature describes accelerated tissue repair, reduced scar-tissue formation after surgery or tissue damage, and support for post-surgical healing. We use it as one supportive part of a recovery plan — not a replacement for physical therapy or your surgeon's guidance.
Is MLS laser therapy a proven cure?+
We won't oversell it. The biological effects described above come from the manufacturer's literature, and the strength of clinical evidence varies by condition. We position MLS laser as a low-risk, supportive modality alongside proven care — and we'll tell you honestly whether it makes sense for your situation.
How many sessions will I need?+
It depends on your condition. We'll recommend a plan at your visit.
Is it covered by insurance?+
Coverage varies. Our team will explain any cost before you begin.
