What is Photobiomodulation Laser Therapy?

Therapeutic laser therapy involves using a concentrated beam of light to treat injuries, wounds, neurological conditions, and pain in pets. Unlike regular light, laser light is a single, focused wavelength that penetrates tissues and stimulates cellular repair mechanisms. This process, known as photobiomodulation, helps reduce pain and promote healing by enhancing blood flow and cellular activity in the treated area.

How Does Therapeutic Laser Work?

The science behind therapeutic laser therapy is fascinating. When the laser light is absorbed by your pet's tissues, it triggers several beneficial responses:

Increased Blood Flow

The laser enhances circulation, delivering more oxygen and nutrients to the affected area, which speeds up the healing process.

What to Expect

During a Laser Therapy Session at VetLand

In our clinic, we ensure that each laser therapy session is tailored to your pet's specific needs. Here's what you can expect during a typical session:

  • Initial Consultation: During your pet's initial consultation, our veterinarian will assess their condition and develop a customized treatment plan and laser protocol.
  • Treatment Session: The laser device will be preset to the required settings for your pet's specific condition. The laser will then be applied directly to the treatment area for about 2-10 minutes, depending on your pet’s treatment goals.
  • Comfort and Safety: Both you and your pet will be provided with protective goggles (or doggles!) to ensure safety during the session. Most pets feel a gentle warmth from the laser, which often leads to relaxation and comfort.
