Class IV Laser Therapy in Las Cruces
Cold Laser Therapy, or Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT), is a healing modality that facilitates tissue repair through the use of specific wavelengths of light. At Smith Wellness, we have a Summus Class IV Medical Laser with four frequency options for different types of injuries or tissue damage. This modality can be used for various acute or chronic conditions to help reduce pain and inflammation, and improve mobility and function.

How It Works
Safe frequencies of light are directed into the affected area with a small handheld device. As your tissues absorb the light, a reaction occurs within the cells, promoting recovery and regeneration.
What Laser Therapy Helps With
This modality can be effective for both chronic and acute injuries, as well as deep wounds. Dr. Smith will assess your condition and determine the appropriate wavelength of light for your specific needs. Conditions that often respond well to laser therapy include:
- Acute injuries
- Chronic pain
- Fractures
- Golfer’s/tennis elbow
- Headaches
- Migraines
- Neuropathy
- Sprain/strain
- TMJ pain
- Wound healing
Any type of musculoskeletal injury or wound may respond well to this modern modality, as the process increases the flow of blood and nutrients to the affected tissue to speed healing.
Non-Invasive and Drug-Free
Laser therapy has gained popularity over the past several years, as it achieves remarkable results in many conditions—and it doesn’t involve drugs or surgery. The light stimulates the body’s own restorative capabilities and directs that healing into the tissues that need it most.
How Long Does It Take?
Most people experience immediate improvement, with complete healing occurring over 6-12 sessions. We recently saw a patient who came in with severe swelling and bruising after an injury. After nine minutes of treatment, the swelling and bruising were gone. Within a few more sessions, their injury was completely healed.
