How Does Laser Therapy Work?

Laser therapy uses beams of light to help heal wounds and make things feel better.

Imagine you have a tiny flashlight that sends out super bright, focused beams of light, like the kind you see in a superhero movie. That’s basically what a laser is. Now imagine this flashlight is pointing at your skin, and instead of just shining on it, it's helping to speed up healing by warming it up or making little changes inside the cells.

It feels a bit like when you put your hand near a heater, warm but not hot. Sometimes it even tickles a little! The light waves from the laser help send messages to the body, telling it to work faster on healing.

Think of your skin as having tiny helpers inside called cells. These cells get busy when they see the light, working harder to fix what’s broken or sore. Like when you’re playing with building blocks and suddenly there are more people helping you stack them up, everything gets done quicker!

So, laser therapy is like giving those tiny helpers a little cheer and a nudge to work faster!
