Veterinary laser therapy, also known as photobiomodulation, involves the use of specific wavelengths of light to penetrate tissues, stimulating cellular activity and promoting natural healing processes. The lasers used in veterinary medicine are classified as "cold" or "low-level" lasers, meaning they do not generate heat, making the procedure safe and comfortable for animals.
- Non-Invasive: One of the biggest advantages is that it is a non-invasive treatment, meaning there is no need for surgery or anesthesia.
- Pain-Free: The therapy is completely pain-free, making it suitable for animals of all ages and sizes.
- No Side Effects: Unlike medications, laser therapy does not have side effects, making it a safer option for long-term pain management.
- Quick Treatment Sessions: Sessions are typically short, ranging from a few minutes to half an hour, depending on the condition being treated.
- Complementary Treatment: Laser therapy can be used alongside other treatments and medications, enhancing the overall effectiveness of the treatment plan.
