LLLT Benefits for dogs
Low level laser therapy
What is low level laser therapy?
Low-level laser therapy uses energetic light waves (near-infrared & far infrared spectrum) to penetrate into your dog’s body to assist in stimulating healing. The light penetrates deep into the body's tissue where it’s absorbed by the cells and converted into energy that impacts the course of the metabolic process, thus stimulating healing in the areas it is applied to. The process is 100% painless and non-invasive. And there are ZERO side effects. LLLT is used world wide for treatments of both humans and animals.
