Cold Laser Therapy has been successfully used around the world for over 30 years, with no reported long-term side effects. In the United States the FDA has ruled that the therapy is safe. The laser used in our office is an FDA certified laser. For the past 30 years the technology of Cold Laser Therapy (also known as Low Level Laser Therapy or LLLT) has been formally accepted in Canada and in many other parts of the world such as Europe, Scandinavia, Russia and Japan.

Yes! Laser hair therapy has been proven safe in over 2,500 scientific and medical papers over thirty years of research. Low level laser devices as tested by an FDA approved testing center has been proven 100% safer and meeting or exceeding all standards for this type of laser. The energy produced by the photons does not have the thermal component to cause thermal injury to either the user or operator.

Cold laser therapy, sometimes also referred to as low-level laser therapy is quickly becoming the first line of attack in pain control and tissue healing in rehabilitative medicine. Cold laser therapy is safe, painless, non-invasive and the results are often immediate and sustainable. NASA has been using light therapy for over 30 years to accelerate the healing process for their astronauts while in space.

No. Low level lasers do not generate perceivable heat. Therefore, when the laser contacts the skin the patient experiences no warmth or burning as a result of the laser. Most people feel nothing at all while a few may feel a slight tingling during the treatment.

Multilase Laser Therapy method is a Non-Thermal Low Level Laser Therapy has not been reported to produce injury or adverse side effects in more than two decades of clinical use. Almost anyone can have laser therapy, from young children to elderly. It is safe, easy, painless and is considered a relaxing treatment. For more information about this therapy please read Skin Treatment with Multilase Therapy page.

To see if Cold Laser Therapy is appropriate for you or a loved one, simply call our office at 410-877-8077 and tell the receptionist that you are interested in our Cold Laser program. An initial consultation can usually be scheduled within 48 hours. If you qualify for care, treatment may begin as soon as a week in most cases.

Absolutely, Low Level Laser Therapy is completely safe, painless and drug-free. Certified Low Level Laser technicians use only approved proprietary protocols created by Imagine Laserworks.

Yes, in every way, when used with good clinical judgment. It does not harm the tooth, pulp, or gums. LPT is even safe for patients with health concerns such as diabetes, HIV, hemophilia, or those taking medications such as Coumadin or cyclosporin.

Besides the initial reaction mentioned in item 5 above, long term consumption will not produce any side effects. It can be observed over a period of 3 to 6 months that pure salt intake together with blood cupping will produce bright red blood stasis compared to dark red blood stasis during the initial phase, slightly higher body temperature and lighter colour stools. . This prove that our blood is getting cleaner as bright red indicate higher concentration of oxygen.

There are no known long term side-effects and the FDA has declared this a safe device. Occasionally, patients will become more sore after treatment, but this is temporary.

Absolutely. There are two types of lasers used today in the medical field, Hot and Cold. Hot lasers are used in surgery to cut or burn (cauterize) tissue. Cold lasers on the other hand are very gentle and do NO HARM. The Cold Laser is FDA Cleared for use to the body. The only potential harm is irritation of the retina of the eye, therefore, care is taken to not shine the laser into the eye itself.

Hot (conventional or thermal) and cold (photodynamic) lasers differ in wavelength. This means that the light used for the surgical treatment is different, although they have a similar effect. Photodynamic therapy requires injection of a drug that makes the bleeding vessels more sensitive to the laser, allowing the laser to distinguish it from surrounding tissue. The cold laser does not damage the healthy tissues of the eye.

Laser therapy is effective in treating soft tissue injuries including many medical conditions, degenerative disorders, acute and chronic injuries or pain and wound healing. No one is too young or too old to receive treatment. Laser therapy is recommended for anyone who has pain due to aging or injuries, and anyone who has been or is currently involved with rehabilitation, physiotherapy, or sports medicine.

There are over 2500 research reports published documenting the effectiveness of LILT. The book "Low Level Laser Therapy: Clinical Practice and Scientific Background" is the most recent reference guide for literature documentation. The first systemic scientific research on the biological effects of low level laser was conducted by the late Professor Endre Mester of the Semmelweis Medical University in Budapest, Hungary, 1966.

NO. More than 2000 clinical studies have been conducted on the use of LILT and in all of these studies no mutational effects have ever been observed resulting from therapy with wavelengths in the red or near-infrared ranges in the doses used by laser therapy.

Laser therapy is a safe, effective, and commonly used treatment, providing optimal results in areas such as the removal of unwanted hair skin rejuvenation, wrinkle reduction, leg veins, or tattoos; and the treatment of acne. Lasers work by delivering an intense beam of light that is absorbed by the skin. This light is converted to heat and is absorbed by the cells being targeted, while leaving the surrounding tissue unaffected.

Laser therapy is the use of monochromatic light emission from a low intensity laser diode (250 milliwatts or less) or an array of high intensity super luminous diodes (providing total optical power in the 1000-2000 milliwatt range). Conditions treated include musculoskeletal injuries, chronic and degenerative conditions and wounds.

Laser Therapy or "photobiomodulation", is the use of specific wavelengths of light (red and near infrared) to create therapeutic effects. These effects include improved healing time, pain reduction, increased circulation and decreased swelling. Laser therapy adds energy to living systems. While we are able to explain many of its molecular and biochemical effects, it also adds energy at atomic and subatomic levels.
