Laser therapy, also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or cold laser therapy, is a non-invasive treatment modality that uses low-level lasers or light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to stimulate healing and reduce pain in both humans and animals, including pets.
The therapeutic laser emits specific wavelengths of light that penetrate the tissues and cells, promoting various biological processes at the cellular level.
It's important to note that laser therapy should only be administered by a trained professional.
The correct dosage and treatment protocol must be followed to ensure safe and effective results.

Yes, laser therapy is considered safe for pets when performed by trained veterinary professionals. The low-level laser used in therapy emits non-thermal light that does not cause harm to the tissues. It is a non-invasive and drug-free treatment option that carries minimal risk.
The duration of a laser therapy session can vary depending on the condition being treated and the specific needs of your pet. Generally, a session lasts anywhere from a few minutes to around half an hour. Your veterinarian will determine the appropriate session length based on your pet's condition and response to treatment.
Laser therapy can benefit a wide range of conditions in pets. It is commonly used to manage pain and inflammation associated with arthritis, muscle strains, joint conditions, and post-surgical recovery. It can also aid in wound healing, promote tissue regeneration, and provide relief for various acute or chronic conditions. Your veterinarian will assess your pet's specific needs and determine if laser therapy is an appropriate treatment option.
The number of laser therapy sessions required for your pet will depend on several factors, including the nature and severity of the condition being treated. Some pets may show improvement after just a few sessions, while others may require a more extended treatment plan. Your veterinarian will develop a customized treatment protocol for your pet and monitor their progress to determine the optimal number of sessions needed.
