It incorporates proven Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) technology.
The LASERwrap bends photonic energy and contours the healing power of
®
light to the application area. The wrap, which delivers low-level laser therapy
(LLLT), energizes the blood and improves circulation, which accelerates
the healing of conditions such as edema, connective tissue tears and strains,
wounds and bone injuries. LLLT is effective at relieving pain and inflammation,
relaxing tight muscles and relieving muscle spasms associated with exercise
and/or acute or chronic conditions such as arthritis.
