The basics
What is MLS Laser Therapy?
When a physical condition or injury affects your mobility and quality of life, there is one goal: a rapid return to everyday activities.
Multiwave Locked System® (MLS) Laser Therapy uses light to stimulate the body's natural healing processes. It is safe, painless, noninvasive, cleared by the FDA, and backed by decades of research at research facilities around the world.
How can light help with pain?
Light is energy, and almost every form of life depends on it. Your cells use light energy in many ways every day. Sunlight on your skin, for example, is an important source of vitamin D.
Decades of research have found that certain wavelengths of light also help cells carry out healing processes more effectively.
The patented MLS system delivers those specific wavelengths to help your body manage pain, improve blood flow, and decrease inflammation at the same time, for a wide range of painful conditions.

How it works
What makes the MLS laser unique?
MLS is the only therapy laser that precisely synchronizes continuous and pulsed wavelengths of light. That lets photons (particles of light energy) reach deep into the body while staying safe and painless.
The result is a system designed to reduce pain, contracture, inflammation, and swelling at the same time, in a short period. As your body responds to the light, several therapeutic effects begin together.
Anti-inflammatory
Reduces inflammation and swelling by stimulating lymphatic drainage and widening blood vessels.
Pain relief
Stimulates endorphins and enkephalins, which block pain signals to the brain. Less inflammation and swelling also means less pain.
Faster tissue repair
Photons reach deep into tissue and give cells more energy, so they take in nutrients, clear waste, and repair themselves faster.
Better blood vessel activity
Encourages new capillaries to form in damaged tissue and temporarily widens blood vessels to speed healing.
Increased metabolic activity
Boosts output of specific enzymes and the oxygen and nutrients carried by blood cells.
Trigger and acupuncture points
Stimulates trigger points and acupuncture points to relieve musculoskeletal pain without needles.
Less scar tissue
Reduces scar tissue that forms after cuts, scratches, burns, or surgery.
Improved nerve function
Speeds the reconnection of nerve cells and strengthens nerve signals to help muscles heal.
Immune support
Stimulates immunoglobulins and lymphocytes and supports production of ATP, the main energy source for your cells.
Faster wound healing
Stimulates fibroblasts, the cells that build new tissue, which makes MLS useful after surgery and for open wounds and burns.
Your visit
What a treatment looks like
Arrive a few minutes early
Check in about 10 minutes before your appointment. Wear clothing that lets us reach the treatment area easily.
Put on eyewear
You and your provider wear protective glasses while the laser is in use.
Relax for 10–15 minutes
The laser head is guided over the area. Most patients feel nothing at all.
Head back to your day
There is no downtime. Effects build with each visit in your plan.
A typical treatment plan
Each dot is one session. Your provider sets your plan at your consultation.
Results are cumulative, so finishing the full course your provider recommends matters. Some patients come back for an occasional supportive session to maintain their results.
Success stories
Patients who found relief
Is chronic pain getting in the way of your day?

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Don't see your question? Call us and we'll walk you through it.
Call 409.210.3336How does laser therapy work?
Therapy lasers emit a concentrated beam of photons (particles of light energy) that are absorbed by the cells in the treatment area. That energy helps the cells reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and repair themselves.
How is MLS different from cold laser, LLLT, or LED therapy?
MLS uses a patented emission system that synchronizes two wavelengths, one continuous and one pulsed. This lets the light reach deep tissue, including joints, while other light therapies mostly reach the surface. The synchronized delivery also gives MLS a high safety profile and keeps treatments short.
Why choose MLS Laser Therapy?
It is drug-free, non-invasive, and non-addictive, and there are no known dangerous side effects.
Does MLS Laser Therapy hurt?
No. Treatment is painless, and many patients report no sensation at all during their session.
What can I expect during treatment?
You'll wear protective eyewear while your provider guides the laser over the treatment area. A typical session lasts 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the size and number of areas treated.
How should I prepare for treatment?
Arrive about 10 minutes before your appointment, and wear clothing that makes it easy to expose the treatment area.
How many treatments will I need?
Your plan is based on you and your condition. Acute conditions typically need about 6 sessions. Chronic conditions usually need 10 to 15 sessions.
When can I expect to see results?
Most patients notice improvement within 1 to 3 sessions, such as less pain, less swelling, or better range of motion.
The effects are cumulative, so improvement continues as you move through your plan. Once you start, it's important to complete the full course your provider recommends.
What if I don't see results after the first few sessions?
Because the effects build over time, some patients need more sessions before they notice a change. Let your provider know how you're progressing so they can adjust your plan if needed. Schedule a consultation with one of our providers at 409.210.3336.
Are the results long-lasting?
For most patients, yes. Many get long-term relief from pain and inflammation after completing their plan. Some benefit from an occasional supportive session to maintain results; you and your provider will decide how often.
Does MLS Laser Therapy have side effects?
MLS Laser Therapy has no known negative side effects. It is non-invasive, requires no downtime, and unlike many pain and anti-inflammatory medications, it is not habit-forming.
Is MLS Laser Therapy covered by insurance?
MLS Laser Therapy is generally not covered by insurance. We offer Cherry payment plans, with qualifying 0% APR options, and we also accept CareCredit.
How much does treatment cost?
Pricing and packages vary from patient to patient. It’s not one-size-fits-all: your provider will recommend a plan after your consultation, and we’ll go over pricing with you before you commit to anything. Schedule a consultation with one of our providers at 409.210.3336.
Can MLS be combined with other treatments?
Yes. MLS can be even more effective alongside other care. We may pair it with spinal decompression, IV therapy, detox spa, or other treatment options. Schedule a consultation with one of our providers at 409.210.3336.
MLS Laser Therapy is cleared by the FDA. Individual results vary; your provider will discuss whether MLS is right for your condition.
