The primary mechanism of laser therapy is photon biomodulation which stimulates cell and tissue repair. Laser therapy is based on scientific research which has demonstrated the positive physiological effects of infrared wavelengths on the cellular level. There is a therapeutic window for reducing inflammation, increasing fibroblast activity and collagen fiber synthesis. Laser therapy is safe and acts in a dose-dependent manner by biological mechanisms which modulate both inflammation and tissue repair.
Here at OSPT, we utilize a high-powered Class 4 laser. Our device has two infrared lasers which work concurrently. The 810 nm laser allows for deeper tissue penetration and the 980 nm laser targets the more superficial and mid-level tissue.
