Weight Loss
In Cold Laser Therapy pressure points are targeted by laser lights, emitted by a hand-held device, to trigger shifts in the patient's inner energy. This same principle is used in acupuncture, reflexology and shiatsu.
Rather than using heat to penetrate the skin tissue, as in other laser treatments, which, due to thermal usage, have more side effects and potential risks, cold laser therapy uses infrared or near-infrared light energy to penetrate the skin tissue and stimulate the skin cells. For other purposes, such as the cold laser's primary use to relieve pain, the stimulated cells are activated to function and heal properly. As a weight loss treatment, the activated cells trigger a shift in the body's energy. This is the same function as lasers used in smoking cessation treatments: The body's metabolism and enzymes are activated to change the physiological desires of the patient. For quitting smoking, it's a change in wanting nicotine, and for weight loss treatment, the change is in the desire for food.
Realistic Expectations
Cold Laser Therapy is not intended to be used in isolation; it is meant to supplement weight loss efforts.
