What Is MLS Laser Therapy?
Multiwave Locked System® (MLS) Laser Therapy is an innovative approach that uses concentrated light energy to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. By using specific wavelengths of light, the patented laser energy delivery system helps the body simultaneously manage pain, improve blood flow, and decrease inflammation for a wide range of painful conditions. MLS Laser Therapy is safe, painless, noninvasive, cleared by the FDA, and backed by decades of research worldwide.
MLS Laser Therapy Effectively Treats The Pain & Inflammation Associate With:
- Acute Injuries
- Arthritis & Bursitis
- Back & Neck Issues
- Musculoskeletal Disorders
- Neuropathy
- Occupational & Sports Injuries
- Plantar Fasciitis
- Post-Surgical Recovery
- Sprains & Strains
- Tendon & Ligament Injuries
- Wound Healing
What Makes MLS Laser Therapy Unique?
Anti-Inflammatory
MLS® Laser Therapy has an anti-edema effect as it causes vasodilation, but also because it activates the lymphatic drainage system which drains swollen areas. As a result, there is a reduction in swelling caused by bruising or inflammation.
Analgesic
MLS® Laser Therapy has a beneficial effect on nerve cells. It blocks pain transmitted by these cells to the brain which decreases nerve sensitivity. Also, due to the decreased inflammation, there is less edema and less pain. Another pain blocking mechanism involves the production of high levels of pain killing chemicals such as endorphins and enkephalin from the brain and adrenal gland.
Accelerated Tissue Repair and Cell Growth
Photons of light from lasers penetrate deeply into tissue and accelerate cellular reproduction and growth. The laser light increases the energy available to the cell so that the cell can take on nutrients faster and get rid of waste products. As a result of exposure to laser light, damaged cells are repaired faster.
Improved Vascular Activity
Laser light will significantly increase the formation of new capillaries in damaged tissue which speeds up the healing process, closes wounds quickly and reduces scar tissue. Additional benefits include acceleration of angiogenesis, which causes temporary vasodilation and increase in the diameter of blood vessels.
Increases Metabolic Activity
MLS® Laser Therapy creates higher outputs of specific enzymes, greater oxygen and food particle loads for blood cells.
Improved Nerve Function
Slow recovery of nerve functions in damaged tissue can result in numbness and impaired limbs. Laser light speeds the process of nerve cell reconnection and increase the amplitude of action potentials to optimize muscle healing.
Faster Wound Healing
Laser light stimulates fibroblast development in damaged tissue. Fibroblasts are the building blocks of collagen, which is the essential protein required to replace old tissue or to repair tissue injuries. As a result, MLS® Laser Therapy is effective post surgically and in the treatment of open wounds and burns.
Additional Benefits of MLT Laser Therapy
- Rapid relief of pain
- Timely healing of sprains & strains
- Strong anti-inflammatory effects
- Immediate improvement of local blood circulation
- Rapid recovery of the structural integrity of injured region
- Avoid unnecessary and expensive drugs and/or surgeries
What Makes Our MLS Laser Unique?
MLS Laser Therapy is a patented emission system created to achieve an efficient and simultaneous effect on pain, contracture, inflammation, and edema in a short period of time. It delivers a unique combination and synchronization of continuous and pulsed wavelengths to distinguish it from any other Class IV lasers. The capability to deliver safe, controlled laser energy that penetrates deep into the tissue, provides more accurate therapeutic dose delivery, meaning consistent and repeatable results. The various therapeutic effects take place at the same time and reciprocally reinforce each other, without the risk of thermal damage.

FAQ’S
Q: Why choose MLS Laser Therapy?
A: MLS Laser Therapy is drug-free, non-invasive, non-addictive, and there are no known dangerous side effects.
Q: What does a treatment feel like?
A: MLS Laser Therapy is painless. In fact, most patients report no sensation at all while receiving laser therapy.
Q: Is treatment safe?
A: Yes, there are no known negative side effects associated with treatment.
Q: How long does a typical treatment take?
A: The length of a typical treatment is 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the size and number of the areas treated.
Q: What can I expect from treatment?
A: Most patients experience positive results within 1-3 treatments. These initial improvements may include relief of pain, decreased swelling, improved range of motion, etc.
The effects are cumulative, therefore, expect to see improvement as you proceed through your treatment plan. It is critical that once you start, you complete the course of treatments recommended by your doctor.
Q: How many treatments are needed?
A: A treatment plan is based on each patient and their unique condition. Acute conditions typically need 6 sessions, while chronic conditions take longer and require 10 to 15 sessions.
Q: Are the results long lasting?
A: For most patients, the answer is yes. While each patient and condition are unique, many receive tremendous long-term relief from their pain and inflammation after completing the recommended treatment plan. Some patients may benefit from the occasional supportive treatment to maintain their positive outcomes. Frequency of these types of treatments will be determined by you and your doctor.
Q: Can it be used in conjunction with other forms of treatment?
A: Yes, MLS Laser Therapy can sometimes be even more effective when combined with other forms of treatment.
