TISSUE HEALING

Removes damaged tissues and brings in substances

When an injury occurs, the body responds with inflammation this is when the body sends blood cells to the area.

Inflammation is necessary for healing, but too much inflammation can begin to cause damage to the surrounding tissues. The Laser leads to faster healing and moves the tissues out of the inflammation stage and into the repair stage, the effect is decreased pain and inflammation.

Laser then stimulates new blood vessel formations, fibroblast activity, bone and collagen production.
