What is MLS laser therapy?

MLS stands for multiwave locked system. MLS laser therapy is a noninvasive technology that uses concentrated light energy to stimulate healing at a cellular level, reducing pain and inflammation so you can get back to feeling and performing at your best.

MLS laser therapy delivers therapeutic wavelengths of light to the affected area to treat painful and debilitating health conditions. As an alternative to surgery or medication, MLS laser therapy provides relief from pain, swelling, inflammation from arthritis, and many other foot ailments.

How does MSL laser therapy work?

MLS laser therapy is a quick, painless therapy. The treatment sends light with healing properties through your skin and into your damaged cells. This stimulates inter-cellular activity, easing pain, swelling, and inflammation, and initiates the recovery process in your damaged cells.

Although MLS is a laser, the technology is designed to heal you. The high temperature of the laser will not hurt you. Instead, the heat energy penetrates your cells, acting below your skin to deliver painless, targeted treatment.

What should I expect during MLS laser treatment?

Your treatment is performed in the comfort of Dr. Matthews’s office. To begin, Dr. Matthews points the laser device at the area that’s causing you discomfort. You might feel a slight warming sensation. This is normal. That sensation indicates your body is responding properly, and inflammation is being treated.

A typical session takes less than 10 minutes. The effects of MLS laser therapy increase with each treatment session. You should see more and more relief from your symptoms as you continue your treatment plan.

The total number of treatments you’ll need will depend on your medical condition. Dr. Matthews tailors your treatment plan so that it’s ideal for you. After treatment, up to 90% of patients feel significant relief from inflammation and pain.

Laser Treatment for Nails (Faq)

What are laser toenail treatments used for?
Laser toenail treatments are a newer treatment method used for fungal toenail infections. These treatments can be used either in addition, or as an alternative, to more traditional anti-fungal treatments such as topical and oral medications.
Do laser toenail treatments work?
There are several FDA-approved laser toenail treatments available. Many patients who undergo laser treatment find that it is effective in clearing up fungal nail infections. Most patients experience an improvement in the appearance of their toenails, although this can take several months. Laser treatments are often preferred to oral antifungal medications, as they typically produce less side effects.
What happens during a laser toenail treatment?
During a laser treatment, the laser device sends out a pulse of energy that produces heat. The heat goes through the infected toenail and into the nail bed, killing the fungus within. The heat can also sterilize the treated area, preventing new fungus from growing. Although you may feel warmth and tingling in the toes while the laser is on, treatment is almost always painless. Individual sessions typically last 30 minutes or less, but laser treatment may be done over the course of several sessions to ensure that all of the fungus has been destroyed.
What can I expect after a laser toenail treatment?
Following a laser treatment, it is unlikely that you will experience any side effects. In some cases, the nail may feel slightly warm and the surrounding skin may be red or slightly swollen for a day or two. When treatment is successful, you should see improvements in the appearance of your nails within several months, as new, healthy nails grow in. Signs of improvement include reduced discoloration and improved nail texture.
