Cold Laser Therapy Benefits For Your Face
Laser therapy is a powerful tool used by doctors, dentists and physical therapists. It helps to promote tissue repair and reduce pain in the joints and soft tissues.
Often called cold laser, this treatment uses specific wavelengths of light that are non-thermal to encourage a biological reaction without any heat damage to the tissues. It's the jack-of-all-trades and master-of-everything when it comes to treating hyperpigmentation, acne, wrinkles and more.
Reduces Acne
Cold Laser Therapy is a painless and non-invasive treatment. It uses light to activate and stimulate cells. This causes a chain reaction within your body that heals the damaged tissue, increases blood flow, and improves energy production. It’s also safe for all skin tones and can treat a variety of conditions, including rosacea, psoriasis, and acne.
We recommend a series of treatments to see the best results. While it may not eliminate your acne completely, this treatment will greatly reduce the appearance of blemishes and help prevent them from coming back.
Because cold lasers don’t produce heat, they’re a great option for people with sensitive skin. However, it’s important to choose a trained professional like Lori Terwilliger who is certified in this advanced technology and understands how to properly use the device for your specific skin type. This is the only way to ensure optimal patient safety and results. It is also recommended that you avoid direct irradiation of the eyes.
Reduces Wrinkles
For anyone who wants to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, cold laser therapy is an excellent option. This noninvasive treatment is quick and virtually painless. It stimulates natural healing and produces results that last longer than chemical peels or other anti-aging treatments.
Also known as low-level laser therapy, or LLLT, this treatment uses near infrared wavelengths to activate your cells and promote cellular regeneration. It is used for pain reduction and tissue healing in a variety laser therapy of medical settings, and it has shown promising results in treating wrinkles.
Many celebrities have endorsed this revolutionary technology, including J.Lo and Cate Blanchett. It has been used by Meghan Markle before her Royal Wedding to achieve a glowing complexion. At The Wellness Institute of Dallas near Highland Park and University Park, we use the Avant LZ30 cold laser device to revitalize your skin.

Reduces Redness
Cold laser therapy uses low-levels of energy to stimulate skin cells, killing bacteria and promoting oxygen flow, helping reduce wrinkles and bringing a healthy glow to your face. It also reduces inflammation and pain, and is an excellent choice for those wanting to avoid the side effects of harsh chemicals or prescription medications.
During treatment, a laser wand with light-emitting diodes is held against your skin. The photons penetrate deep into injured tissues and trigger chemical changes that lead to cell repair and healing. This is known as photo-biostimulation. It’s a non-invasive and painless procedure, so no needles are involved.
The photons stimulate the production of helpful enzymes, promote mitochondrial growth, increase blood flow and lymphatic drainage, induce tissue regeneration, reduce inflammatory mediators, suppress nociceptors (pain receptors), boost antibodies and immune system activity, and help your body grow new collagen, reducing scar tissue and increasing flexibility. Depending on the severity of the injury, you may require 8 to 15 treatments to get noticeable results.
Reduces Inflammation
Cold laser therapy is a non-invasive treatment option to relieve pain and speed up recovery. It sends light energy at various wavelengths into the tissue, stimulating cell regrowth and boosting healthy cells. It also reduces inflammation and swelling, called edema.
The wand-like device emits red and near-infrared light to promote cellular repair, without damaging the soft tissues. The process is completely safe and non-invasive, with no side effects. It’s one of the best tools to reduce inflammation and pain in both your skin and joints.
During a treatment, you’ll wear protective goggles and hold the wand against your injury or skin for a few seconds. The light feels warm but isn’t painful, and you can have multiple sessions during your treatment plan. This treatment can be a great complement to other pain-relieving methods like massage and exercise. It’s often used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, shoulder injuries, neck pain, fibromyalgia, and more. LLLT can even help heal wounds, reduce scarring, and increase circulation.
