What is MLS Laser Therapy?

MLS is the most advanced medical laser available today. It features two synchronized wavelengths of light. The 808nm wavelength targets inflammation and swelling, while the 905nm wavelength works quickly to ease pain and promote relief.

Combining the two wavelengths amplifies their benefits, making it a remarkably effective treatment for patients struggling with injuries or chronic pain.

These wavelengths penetrate deeply into tissues, where they help reduce inflammation, ease pain, and kick-start healing.

Unlike older laser technologies, MLS laser therapy works on both the surface and deep tissues at once. This dual-wavelength system helps your body heal more quickly and fully.

Conditions MLS Laser Therapy treats

Conditions this laser therapy may treat include:

Osteoarthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis
Back pain
Neck pain
Slow-healing wounds
Tendinitis and bursitis
Muscle strains
Ligament injuries
Neuropathy
Post-surgical pain
Severe swelling

This therapy is particularly helpful for people who want to avoid surgery and find a natural, drug-free solution for pain. Whether you're newly diagnosed or have been living with pain for years, MLS laser therapy can be part of a plan that’s made just for you.

How MLS Laser Therapy works

MLS laser therapy stimulates your body’s natural healing systems to promote natural pain relief. Some of its standout effects are:

Reduces inflammation and swelling

MLS Laser Therapy helps open up blood vessels and stimulates lymphatic drainage, reducing fluid buildup and swelling from injury or inflammation.

Eases pain naturally

Laser energy calms nerve cells, lowering pain signals to the brain. As a bonus, the therapy boosts the body’s ability to generate endorphins, the brain neurotransmitters that ease discomfort naturally.

Speeds healing

Laser light stimulates faster healing in many ways. It reaches deep into tissue, helping your cells absorb nutrients faster and clear waste more efficiently. The result? Quicker recovery on a cellular level.

Laser energy also activates enzymes and boosts ATP (your body’s cell energy), helping your immune system work better and encouraging faster tissue repair.

The treatment stimulates fibroblasts (the cells that make collagen). This promotes fresh collagen growth to strengthen damaged skin and improve wound closure rates.

MLS Laser Therapy temporarily expands blood vessels and promotes new capillary growth. This increases local circulation, which means your blood delivers more nutrients and healing substances to the injured or painful area.

Prevents scar tissue formation

This therapy supports smoother recovery after injuries, cuts, or surgery by reducing the development of dense fibrous scar tissue.

The MLS Laser Therapy treatment process

You’ll relax in a treatment chair while your specialist delivers the MLS treatment using a handheld device. It’s completely painless, though you might feel some comfortable warmth.

The whole process takes just a few minutes per session. Most patients feel better within a few visits. We tailor treatment plans for each patient, with the average MLS Laser Therapy treatment plan including 6-12 sessions. There’s no downtime afterward.

Pain relief builds over time. Many patients experience increased mobility and reduced reliance on pain medication.
