The Science Behind MLS® Laser Therapy IN Baton Rouge LA

This FDA-cleared, Class IV technology synchronizes dual wavelengths with continuous and pulsed emissions bringing you the most advanced laser therapy system available on the market today.

Overview of Laser Therapy in Baton Rouge LA

The innovative and patented Multiwave Locked System® (MLS) Therapy Laser was developed in an effort to produce an efficient and simultaneous effect on pain, inflammation, and edema, exceeding the limits of traditional LLLT (low power) and concerns of HP (high power) laser therapy. MLS technology delivers therapeutic wavelengths, 808nm (anti-edemic and anti-inflammatory) and 905nm (analgesic). An energetic synergy is created when delivering these wavelengths that produces greater anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects than either can produce on its own, while minimizing the risk of thermal damage. It is this unique combination and synchronization of continuous and pulsed emissions that characterizes MLS and distinguishes it from other Class IV lasers. Unlike early-generation Class IV technology, MLS Laser Therapy has the capability to deliver controlled laser energy. This unique feature provides more accurate therapeutic dose delivery, which means consistent and repeatable results. With high levels of efficacy, safety, and consistency, MLS Laser Therapy can help physicians relieve pain and restore lives, while rewarding their practice financially.

What is Laser Therapy?

Laser therapy uses light to favor and accelerate the body’s natural healing processes. The laser beam is moved over the skin so that the light energy (photons) penetrates the tissue where it interacts with various molecules (chromophores) that cause different biological effects. It produces a photochemical, photothermal and photomechanical effect.

There are many types of lasers. Each laser has different characteristics which produce a different effect. These characteristics include:

• Energy: measured in joules
• Time: Defined as the duration of irradiance of target tissue and is measured in seconds. It is also known as Impulse Duration or called “impulse width”.
• Wavelength: Penetration depth is directed by the laser emission wavelength and the type of tissue (chromophores).
• Frequency: Defined as the number of impulses emitted during the unit of time (1 second) and should reflect the condition treated.
• Power: the rate at which energy is delivered and is measured in watts.
• Fluence: Energy Density or Dose
• Irradiance (Also known as Power Density): Power delivered per unit area
• Emission Mode: Continuous Wave (CW) or Pulsed Wave (PW)
• Impulse Duration: Duration of laser emission, also called “impulse width”.

Benefits of MLS® Laser Therapy

No pain. All gain.
In the current economic climate, physicians are facing significant pressure to find new revenue streams. Reimbursements from insurers – the primary source of income for many practices – are declining sharply as a result of political reforms. At the same time, market forces such as increased competition and patient consumerism are adding to the pressure. In this environment, practice owners have limited options for strengthening their financial position. MLS Laser Therapy can help.

MLS Laser Therapy allows physicians to leverage technology to provide higher quality patient care, while attracting new clients, generating additional revenue, and ultimately improving businesses’ bottom line.

Clinical Benefits
MLS Laser Therapy is quickly becoming the standard of care in alleviating both acute and chronic pain. This patented, FDA-cleared technology has an 85% – 90% efficacy rate in relieving pain and inflammation, eliminates risk from surgery and prescription pain killers, has no negative side effects, and restores patients’ lives.

Financial Benefits
Practices benefit financially by:

• Combating declining reimbursements and generating revenue with a cash-based modality
• Realizing a rapid return on investment
• Accelerating patient recoveries
• Differentiating their practice
• Increasing patient satisfaction and referrals
