Ten Benefits of MLS Therapy
1. Anti-Inflammatory: MLS Laser Therapy has an anti-edema effect as it causes vasodilatation and activates the lymphatic drainage system, draining swollen areas. As a result, there is a reduction in swelling caused by bruising or inflammation.
2. Analgesic: MLS Laser Therapy has a highly beneficial effect on nerve cells, blocking pain transmitted by these cells to the brain, thereby decreasing decreasing nerve sensitivity. The subsequent decrease in the surrounding inflammation also results in less edema and less pain.
3. Accelerated Tissue Repair and Cell Growth: Photons of light from the laser penetrate deeply into tissue and accelerate cellular reproduction and growth. The laser light increases the energy available to cells so that they can take on nutrients more quickly and in turn, rid themselves of waste products. As a result of exposure to laser light, the cells of tendons, ligaments and muscles are repaired faster.
4. Improved Vascular Activity: Laser light significantly increases the formation of new capillaries in damaged tissue which speeds the healing process, closes wounds quickly and reduces scar tissue. Additional benefits include acceleration of angiogenesis, which causes temporary vasodilation, and increases the diameter of blood vessels.

5. Increases Metabolic Activity: Laser therapy creates higher outputs of specific enzymes, greater oxygen and food particle loads for blood cells.
6. Trigger Points and Acupuncture Points: Laser therapy stimulates muscle trigger and acupuncture points on a non-invasive basis providing musculoskeletal pain relief.
7. Reduced Fibrous Tissue Formation: Laser therapy reduces the formation of scar tissue following tissue damage from cuts, scratches, burns or surgery.
8. Improved Nerve Function: Slow recovery of nerve functions in damaged tissue can result in numbness and impaired limbs. Laser light speeds up the process of nerve cell reconnection and increases the amplitude of action potentials to optimize muscle healing.
9. Immunoregulation: Laser light has a direct effect on immunity status by stimulation of immunoglobulins and lymphocytes. Laser therapy is absorbed by chromophores in cells that react to laser light. The enzyme flavomononucleotide is activated and starts the production of ATP (adenosine-triphosphate), which is the major carrier of cell energy and the energy source for all chemical reactions in the cells.
10. Faster Wound Healing: Laser light stimulates fibroblast development (fibroblasts are the building blocks of collagen which is predominant in wound healing) in damaged tissue. MLS Laser Therapy is effective on open wounds and burns.
