Cold laser therapy is a treatment that uses low levels of laser light to reduce pain and inflammation. Unlike the lasers you might think of in surgery, cold lasers don't cut or burn. Instead, they penetrate the skin to help your cells heal faster, making it great for things like muscle pain, joint issues, and even some skin conditions.

Yes, it's considered very safe! The laser used in this therapy is low-intensity, so it doesn’t cause burns or damage to your skin. Most people tolerate it really well, and there are usually no side effects.

Honestly, you won’t feel much at all! During the treatment, you might feel a slight warmth or tingling, but it’s generally painless. Some people even find it relaxing. It's nothing like the sharp pain of a needle or the heat from other laser types.

Cold laser therapy is pretty versatile. It’s often used for conditions like arthritis, tendonitis, back pain, and sports injuries. It’s also helpful for reducing inflammation, speeding up wound healing, and even treating skin conditions like acne or psoriasis.

This can vary depending on what you're treating. Some people start to notice improvements after just a few sessions, but for more chronic conditions, it might take several weeks of regular treatments. It’s one of those therapies where consistency really pays off.
