MLS LASER THERAPY IN Laguna Hills CA
What is MLS Laser Therapy?
When a physical condition or injury affects mobility, quality of life, or the ability to do the things you love to do, there is one goal: A rapid return to every-day activities!
Multi-wave Locked System® (MLS) Laser Therapy is an innovative approach that uses concentrated light energy to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. By using specific wavelengths of light, the patented laser energy delivery system helps the body simultaneously manage pain, improve blood flow, and decrease inflammation for a wide range of painful conditions. MLS Laser Therapy is safe, painless, noninvasive, cleared by the FDA, and backed by decades of research around the world.

- Musculoskeletal Disorders
- Neuropathy (Chemical Induced/ Diabetic/ Arthritis)
- Occupational & Sports Injuries (Frozen shoulder, Chronic, grinding Knee pain, Tennis/Golfer elbow)
- Plantar Fasciitis
- Post-Surgical Recovery

What makes our MLS Laser Unique?
MLS Laser Therapy is a patented emission system created to achieve an efficient and simultaneous effect on pain, contracture, inflammation, and edema in a short period of time. It delivers a unique combination and synchronization of continuous and pulsed wavelengths to distinguish it from any other Class IV lasers.
The capability to deliver safe, controlled laser energy that penetrates deep into the tissue provides more accurate therapeutic dose delivery, meaning consistent and repeatable results. The various therapeutic effects take place at the same time and reciprocally reinforce each other, without the risk of thermal damage.
- Anti-Inflammatory: MLS® Laser Therapy has an anti-edema effect as it causes vasodilation, but also because it activates the lymphatic drainage system which drains swollen areas. As a result, there is a reduction in swelling caused by bruising or inflammation.
- Analgesic: MLS® Laser Therapy has a beneficial effect on nerve cells. It blocks pain transmitted by these cells to the brain which decreases nerve sensitivity. Also, due to the decreased inflammation, there is less edema and less pain. Another pain blocking mechanism involves the production of high levels of pain killing chemicals such as endorphins and enkephalin from the brain and adrenal gland.
- Accelerated Tissue Repair and Cell Growth: Photons of light from lasers penetrate deeply into tissue and accelerate cellular reproduction and growth. Laser light increases the energy available to the cell so that the cell can take on nutrients faster and get rid of waste products. As a result of exposure to laser light, damaged cells are repaired faster.
- Improved Vascular Activity: Laser light will significantly increase the formation of new capillaries in damaged tissue which speeds up the healing process, closes wounds quickly and reduces scar tissue. Additional benefits include acceleration of angiogenesis, which causes temporary vasodilation and increase in the diameter of blood vessels.
- Increases Metabolic Activity: MLS® Laser Therapy creates higher outputs of specific enzymes, greater oxygen and food particle loads for blood cells.
- Trigger Points and Acupuncture Points: MLS® Laser Therapy stimulates muscle trigger points and acupuncture points on a noninvasive basis providing musculoskeletal pain relief.
- Reduced Fibrous Tissue Formation: MLS® Laser Therapy reduces the formation of scar tissue following tissue damage from cuts, scratches, burns or surgery.
- Improved Nerve Function: Slow recovery of nerve functions in damaged tissue can result in numbness and impaired limbs. Laser light speeds the process of nerve cell reconnection and increases the amplitude of action potential to optimize muscle healing.
- Immunoregulation: Laser light has a direct effect on immunity status by stimulating immunoglobulins and lymphocytes. Laser emissions are absorbed by chromophores (molecule enzymes) that react to laser light. Upon exposure to the laser, the enzyme flavomononucleotide is activated and starts the production of ATP (adenosinetriphosphate), which is the major carrier of cell energy and the energy source for all chemical reactions in the cells.
- Faster Wound Healing: Laser light stimulates fibroblast development in damaged tissue. Fibroblasts are the building blocks of collagen, which is the essential protein required to replace old tissue or to repair tissue injuries. As a result, MLS® Laser Therapy is effective post surgically and in the treatment of open wounds and burns.
Frequently Asked Questions About MLS Laser
It does not require the use of drugs or surgery. There are no known side effects, and it is quick and convenient. There is no downtime. Studies have shown it is equal to or more effective than other forms of physical therapy. These studies were performed at many prestigious institutions such as Harvard University.
There is no pain associated with laser application. There is little or no sensation during treatment. Laser treatment is relaxing, and some patients even fall asleep.
Length of treatment depends on the size of the area being treated and the specific health condition. It can range from 5-10 minutes for smaller areas such as a neck or wrist, to 30-45 minutes for multiple areas. Treatment plans are determined on an individual basis and are usually 2 to 3 times a week.
It depends on the nature of the condition being treated. The typical treatment protocol is between 6 and 12 visits. Conditions such as severe arthritis may require ongoing periodic care to control pain.
Yes, MLS laser therapy is about healing not about making or covering up a condition. When you feel better from this therapy, it’s because you are better. Therefore, results have been found to be quite long-lasting.
Yes, MLS laser therapy is sometimes more effective when combined with other forms of treatment, such as chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue mobilization and shock wave therapy. It can also be used for post-surgery.
Yes, laser therapy is a light treatment, no heating is involved with the surgical or metal implants. It can be used safely with no side effects.
It is extremely effective for post-operative wound healing. Many hip and knee replacement patients are being treated for care at our center.
Living with persistent pain, inflammation and wound healing issues can create serious obstacles, such as restricted movement and constant discomfort, which interfere with everyday tasks. Conditions such as peripheral neuropathy, knee pain and back pain can significantly affect your quality of life, both your physical and emotional well-being. Inflammation makes the pain worse, slows down recovery and increases the risk of complication. These issues are not only physical draining but can also decrease your overall health, productivity and sense of happiness.
Finding effective treatment to manage pain, improve mobility and enhance the quality of life is essential.
