Summus Laser
Restoring Health
How It Works
Photobiomodulation (PBM) is the application of red and near-infra-red light over injuries or lesions to improve wound and soft tissue healing, reduce inflammation and give relief for both acute and chronic pain.
Summus Laser
At The POLAR LOUNGE we are constantly seeking the best ways to assist our patients using natural, non-invasive methods of restoring their health. We are excited to offer state-of-the-art Cold Laser Therapy to our community in The Old Fourth Ward and surrounding areas.
The Summus Class IV Cold laser therapy is a quantum leap in laser therapy technology and has been designed and engineered using decades of sophisticated research and technology.
Proven to biostimulate tissue repair and growth, Class IV laser therapy is a non-surgical, drug-free treatment option designed to treat acute to chronic pain.
Specific red and near-infrared wavelengths induce a therapeutic effect within the body. Laser energy stimulates the healing process by accelerating blood flow, bringing water and other nutrients to the affected area.
Benefits of Laser Therapy:
✓Increased circulation
✓ Decreased swelling
✓ Reduced pain
✓ Enhanced tissue repair
​
Throughout treatment, metabolic activity stimulates at the cellular level, improving the transport of vital nutrients across the cell membrane, which increases the production of cellular energy (ATP).
This scientifically proven treatment method is used to decrease inflammation and the formation of scar tissue.
Treatment with the Summus Medical laser is comfortable and safe.
After evaluation to see if you are a candidate for laser therapy, your treatment will be scheduled and will begin as soon as possible.
Treatment times vary from 6-30 minutes and you can continue with normal activities both before and after treatment. We may ask you to bring loose-fitting clothing or wear a gown to allow access to tissues in need of cold laser therapy.
