What to Expect During Cold Laser Therapy Treatment

At Cold Laser Perth, we want you to feel informed and comfortable during your treatment. Cold Laser Therapy is a gentle, non-invasive, and painless procedure designed to promote healing, reduce pain, and improve mobility. Here’s what you can expect from your sessions.

How a Typical Session Works

Each Cold Laser Therapy session is quick and easy, typically lasting 5 to 15 minutes depending on the area being treated. The process is entirely non-invasive, meaning there is no discomfort, no needles, and no downtime required.

Step-by-Step Treatment Process

  1. Initial Consultation & Assessment – Your practitioner will discuss your symptoms, medical history, and treatment goals before determining the best approach.
  2. Preparation – You will be positioned comfortably, and the targeted area will be exposed for treatment.
  3. Laser Application – The MR5 ACTIV PRO LaserStim® is applied directly to the skin over the affected area. The device delivers super pulsed laser light and may use electro-stimulation for deeper penetration.
  4. Treatment Duration – The laser is applied for a few minutes per area, depending on the condition being treated.
  5. Completion & Aftercare Advice – Once treatment is complete, your practitioner will provide aftercare recommendations to maximize healing.

What You Might Feel During Treatment

Cold Laser Therapy is completely painless for most patients, but you may experience:

  • A gentle warming sensation as circulation increases in the treated area.
  • A slight tingling feeling if electro-stimulation is used.
  • No discomfort or burning, as Cold Laser Therapy does not generate heat like other lasers.

How Many Sessions Are Required?

The number of sessions varies based on the severity and type of condition being treated:

  • Acute injuries (e.g., sprains, strains, mild inflammation): 3-6 sessions
  • Chronic conditions (e.g., arthritis, nerve pain, tendonitis): 6-12 sessions
  • Severe or long-term conditions (e.g., chronic bell’s palsy, chronic tinnitus): Ongoing maintenance treatments may be recommended

Most patients feel noticeable improvements after just a few sessions, with cumulative benefits over time.

Before & After Treatment Guidelines

To get the most out of your Cold Laser Therapy:

  • Before Treatment: Stay hydrated and wear loose, comfortable clothing.
  • After Treatment: Avoid strenuous activity immediately after your session and follow any specific recommendations from your practitioner.
  • Ongoing Care: Maintain your recommended treatment schedule for optimal results.

Complementary Chiropractic Care (Optional)

For those seeking additional support, Cold Laser Therapy can be complemented with chiropractic treatment to further enhance mobility, alignment, and overall recovery. Chiropractic adjustments can help correct imbalances, reduce muscular tension, and support long-term pain relief when combined with laser therapy.

If you’re interested, ask your practitioner about integrating chiropractic care into your treatment plan.
