How Can Light Particles Treat My Pet?
Laser therapy uses light particles to treat dogs and cats—no medications or needles required. The light particles are emitted from a handheld device, which is carefully moved over the treatment area without making direct contact. The light particles penetrate deep into the skin and muscle tissue, where they are absorbed and metabolized by the tissue cells. These cells become increasingly active, which speeds up the healing process.
Photobiomodulation is the official name for what takes place when the photons interact with the body’s cells. All of this occurs without any stress or discomfort to your pet.
