Here is Micki an 11 year old pug wearing her
"doggles" right before she received laser light therapy.
The beneficial effects of laser light on tissue were
first recognized almost forty years ago. Since then, there have been thousands
of studies documenting the positive effects laser light has on different types
of cells, tissue, and disorders. Recent
advances in technology and manufacturing have made it possible to have this
exciting modality available and affordable for clinicians.
The laser light is delivered through a non-invasive
handpiece to treat the affected area. Your pet will feel a gentle and soothing
warmth. As the laser is administered, many pets will relax, much like you would
experiencing a good massage. The almost immediate relief of pain will allow
your pet to be comfortable and any anxiety that your pet initially experienced
will dissipate.
Simply put, it provides relief. The fur does not need to
be clipped. Eye protection will be worn by the laser operator and anyone in a
close proximity to the laser probe. The
eyes of the animal will be directed away from the treatment area or covered with
a towel or eye wear. The clinician will
move the probe over the area of treatment to assure the laser is being
delivered to the area which needs improvement.
There are no known side effects with this treatment.
