What is Cold Laser Therapy?

BioFlex Cold Laser Therapy, also known as photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT), is a class 3B cutting-edge, non-invasive treatment designed to promote healing by utilizing light to stimulate cellular functions. Imagine a therapy that gives your body’s cells a boost by tapping into their natural ability to heal and regenerate building from the foundation up.


This therapy uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to dive into tissues, stimulating cells in the mitochondria—the energy centers of our cells—like tiny batteries recharging. This kickstarts ATP production (our cellular energy source) and ramps up tissue repair, inflammation reduction, and healing at a core level.


The beauty of the BioFlex system lies in its two-pronged approach. Red light targets the surface layers like skin, while near-infrared light dives deeper, reaching muscles, joints, ligaments, tendons, cartilage and bones. Unlike many Class 4 lasers that heat tissues to relieve pain, BioFlex is classified as Class 3b, which means it doesn’t generate heat, focusing entirely on true cellular healing rather than temporary effects. The result? Natural, lasting relief with minimal discomfort and no side effects.


So, what can this therapy do for you? Here are just a few examples:


  • Nervous System Disorders

    - Neuropathies, including diabetic neuropathy and trigeminal neuralgia

    - Sciatica and other nerve pain conditions

    - Carpal tunnel syndrome and other peripheral nerve injuries


  • Musculoskeletal Conditions

    - Tendinitis and bursitis, such as rotator cuff injuries and Achilles tendinitis

    - Ligament and muscle strains or sprains as well as tendon rupture or full tears

    - Muscle spasms and trigger points

    - Rib sprains/strains and intercostal neuritis

    - Fibromyalgia, particularly for pain relief and muscle relaxation


  • Arthritic Conditions

    - Osteoarthritis in knees, hips, hands, and spine

    - Rheumatoid arthritis, for reducing joint inflammation and stiffness

    - Degenerative joint disease


  • Soft Tissue and Wound Healing

    - Sports injuries, including strains, sprains, and contusions and concussions

    - Post-surgical healing, helping maximizes tissue recovery

    - Ulcers and chronic wounds, especially in diabetic foot care


  • Head and Facial Pain

    - Migraines and tension headaches

    - Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain

    - Sinusitis and facial pain due to sinus pressure and inflammation


Each of these conditions benefits from the anti-inflammatory, pain-relieving, and regenerative properties of cold laser therapy, making it a versatile and valuable option in pain management and healing support​ and this list isn't exhaustive


Whether you’re managing pain, looking to enhance recovery, or simply want to try an innovative, natural approach, BioFlex Cold Laser Therapy delivers powerful support to help you feel your best. It’s a safe, scientifically backed option that customizes each treatment to your body’s unique needs, giving you a path toward effective and lasting relief.
