What it is
What laser therapy is
Laser therapy applies light to the skin over the area being treated. The equipment we use is the Zimmer OptonPro, a high-power laser.
It's non-invasive and is done in the office. Each area takes a few minutes, and you and the staff wear eye protection during the application.
After examining you, the doctor decides whether this therapy is appropriate for your situation and how to combine it with the rest of your plan.
