What Is Cold Laser Therapy?
Cold Laser Therapy, also called low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or therapeutic laser therapy, uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate cells within damaged tissues.
Unlike surgical lasers, Cold Laser Therapy does not cut tissue or generate excessive heat. Instead, it encourages normal cellular activity, helping support healing while reducing inflammation and discomfort.
The treatment is gentle, drug-free, and non-invasive. Most pets remain relaxed throughout their therapy sessions, and many experience improved comfort and mobility as part of their overall treatment plan.
