Class 2 Laser Therapy: Benefits and Conditions Treated at Restore Podiatry
What is Class 2 Laser Therapy?
Class 2 Laser Therapy is a low-power, non-invasive laser treatment commonly used for foot and ankle conditions as a non-invasive alternative. The name of this specific laser is Lunula Laser. This therapy delivers the energy at a lower intensity, making it ideal for safely treating the skin’s surface and less deep-seated tissues.
The Laser source used in class 2 delivers light energy that penetrates the skin to reach the affected tissue. It stimulates cellular activity, reduces inflammation, and accelerates self-healing. Lunula Laser is the only non-thermal laser available to treat toenail fungus. It is the latest, newest, FDA-approved laser that has proven to be a safe treatment.
Class II lasers primarily use light energy in the visible or near-infrared range (typically between 600-700 nm). This allows them to penetrate the surface of the skin and interact with cells just below it.
These lasers operate at a low power output, usually less than 1 milliwatt (mW), making them safe for non-invasive foot and ankle treatment without the risk of tissue damage or heat.
Benefits of Class 2 Laser Therapy or Lunula Laser
Non-Invasive and Painless
Class 2 lasers provide gentle treatment without surgery, injections, or significant discomfort. It is apt for conditions that are not deep inside the tissue.
Reduces Swelling
This laser type effectively reduces mild inflammation on the skin and near-surface tissues.
Promotes Cellular Repair:
By delivering targeted light energy, it helps stimulate cellular regeneration and tissue repair in the affected area.
Safe for Sensitive Areas
Due to its low intensity, Class 2 laser therapy is safe for use in sensitive areas with minimal risk of side effects.
No Downtime
Patients can typically return to their daily activities immediately after treatment.
