Frequently Asked Questions
How does it work?
Using penetrative red and near-infrared light at specific wavelengths and amplitudes, our treatments stimulate cell mitochondria to produce more ATP. This results in cellular regeneration to promote healing and reduce inflammation. At Remedy Laser Therapy, we offer treatments that are clinically proven to manage a variety of conditions.
What laser is used in treatment?
We utilize the Aspen Class IV Laser — a top-tier, FDA-cleared device renowned for its precision and safety. Widely considered the gold standard in wellness technology, this advanced laser delivers high-powered red and near-infrared light to stimulate cellular activity, reduce inflammation, and accelerate tissue repair through a process known as photobiomodulation.
How are treatments administered?
A handheld wand is positioned directly on, or slightly above, the skin over the affected area, where it delivers a gentle therapeutic beam for. Safety glasses are worn at all times.
How long does a treatment take?
Depending on the condition, treatment times typically last only 5-10 minutes, but larger body areas may require a little more time.
Is laser therapy FDA approved?
Yes! The Aspen Laser system is used at Remedy Laser Therapy is FDA-cleared for pain relief and inflammation reduction. It is trusted, clinically proven technology used by healthcare providers nationwide.
How many treatments will I need?
Most acute conditions typically require only 5-6 treatments. Chronic conditions generally take longer and may require 6-12 treatments as well as one or two follow-up treatments each month. Treatments can be administered as frequently as every other day.
Does laser therapy treatment hurt?
No! Most patients experience a warm, often soothing sensation during treatment. Red laser therapy is non-invasive with a great track record.
What are the side-effects?
As red therapy is non-invasive, the vast majority of patients exhibit no side effects. On rare occasions patients have developed mild redness at site of application which clears within a day or two.
What should not be treated by laser therapy?
Red laser therapy cannot be used in active malignant cancers, cancerous lesions, or tumors, nor on the abdomen during pregnancy, or on deep vein thrombosis.
What are the limitations to red laser treatments?
Like all health treatments, red laser therapy serves as a valuable complementary treatment, but it should not be considered a substitute for care provided by your specialty physician or healthcare team.

The Science Behind Our Red Laser Therapies
Primary molecular target & energy metabolism
The most widely supported mechanism centers on cytochrome c oxidase (Complex IV) in mitochondria. When photons in the deep‑red/near‑IR range are absorbed, they can alter the redox state of cytochrome c oxidase, improving electron transport chain efficiency and increasing mitochondrial membrane potential. The result is higher ATP production, giving cells more energy to drive repair processes and restore ionic balances that reduce nociceptor (pain receptor) sensitization.
Immune modulation & inflammation
At the cellular level, photobiomodulation shifts immune cell behavior: macrophages move from a pro‑inflammatory (M1) phenotype toward a pro‑repair (M2) phenotype, cytokine profiles change (reduced TNF‑α, IL‑1β; increased IL‑10), and neutrophil infiltration and oxidative bursts are tempered. These changes reduce edema and pain and accelerate matrix remodeling in tendons, ligaments, and muscle.
Photobiomodulation
At a high level, red and near‑infrared light penetrates tissue and is absorbed by specific cellular chromophores, triggering a cascade of biochemical events that shift cells from a stressed, inflammatory state toward repair and normal function. Clinically this translates into reduced pain, less swelling, faster musculoskeletal healing, and measurable benefits in some neurological conditions.
Nitric oxide, reactive species, & signaling
Light can also dissociate nitric oxide (NO) bound to mitochondrial proteins, freeing NO to act as a vasodilator and signaling molecule. This increases local blood flow and oxygen delivery while initiating downstream signaling pathways (cGMP, protein kinases) that promote tissue repair and modulate pain pathways. Controlled increases in reactive oxygen species (ROS) act as second messengers to upregulate protective genes (antioxidant enzymes, heat‑shock proteins) rather than causing damage when doses are appropriate.
Neural effects and neuromodulation
In nervous tissue, the same mitochondrial and NO‑mediated mechanisms improve neuronal bioenergetics, reduce excitotoxicity, and promote axonal sprouting and synaptic plasticity. Transcranial or peripheral application can modulate neurotransmitter release and inflammatory signaling in glia, which helps explain observed benefits in some neuropathic pain syndromes and early studies in stroke and traumatic brain injury.
