Frequently Asked Questions
What is laser
therapy?
Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) is simply using cold,
non-invasive lasers to stimulate endorphins in the body. These endorphins are
natural pain killers that reduce the sensation of pain and improve our emotional
well being.
Is
it safe?
Yes. LLLT is completely safe for all ages. The lasers are very low
level, non-thermal and topical. We do not use surgical
lasers.
Does it hurt?
No. In fact,
most clients enjoy the experience. Many feel nothing at
all, some feel a tingling sensation, while others experience a
warm feeling. Most find the process very soothing and are very relaxed
during and/or after the session. Our low-level laser is just that..
very low level, relaxing and safe.
Where do you direct
the laser?
The laser is directed to meridian points on
the body also referred to as pressure, acupressure, or acupuncture
points. We literally have hundreds of these points on our
body. Exactly which meridian points are targeted depends on the service you
are receiving. Most of the targeted points are auricular (on the
ears), while other points may be on the head, face, limbs, hands and
feet.
How many sessions are required?
This varies depends on which service you are receiving. Some
programs, like the smoking cessation program, are one visit (with backup
sessions if needed), while others such as our pain, drug and alcohol
programs are more involved and require multiple visits. Most sessions are 40
minutes to 1 hour in length.
Do I need to come in for a consultation
first?
No. Your questions can be answered over the phone or
through email at which time your appointment can be booked.
