Whether it’s acute or chronic, pain can be a very stressful and frustrating part of daily life. Fortunately, there are two popular options available that can put you on the road toward pain relief: cold laser therapy and red light therapy.
As both therapies use red light, it is important to understand their differences to ensure you use the correct therapy for desired results.
What is Red Light Therapy?
Red light therapy uses low wavelength red light which can provide surface-level healing of the skin. When exposing your skin to this treatment, red light therapy may stimulate collagen production, increase blood circulation and reduce inflammation in cells. Red light therapy does not have the ability to focus on specific areas of the body, it is considered a cold therapy because it doesn’t generate any heat, and is primarily useful in addressing surface level discomforts.
What is Low Level Laser Therapy or Cold Laser?
Low level laser therapy is an effective, non-invasive treatment option for those who experience acute or chronic body pain. Using a focused, low-level laser on an inflamed area may effectively penetrate through the skin and stimulate healing in the deeper tissues. This treatment is often referred to as “cold” laser therapy because no heat is generated by the laser.
If you are struggling with an injury or strain that has caused pain or inflammation, cold laser therapy may be an effective option for you.
Which Is Best for You?
It depends on the type of issue you are trying to treat. Low level laser is ideal for muscle strains, deep tissue pain and to help ease the discomfort of injuries, while red light therapy is mostly geared toward improving cosmetic conditions.
