Laser Therapy

Not at all. Most people don’t feel any pain during treatment. Some people feel nothing at all, while others notice a gentle warmth or mild tingling sensation. The treatment itself is comfortable and many clients find it relaxing.

Every appointment is tailored to you, so treatment times can vary. Your first consultation usually lasts 45-60 minutes, giving us plenty of time to discuss your symptoms, medical history and goals before your first treatment. Follow-up appointments are typically 20-45 minutes, depending on the area being treated and your individual treatment plan.

Every person and every condition is different, so there’s no fixed answer. While some people notice a difference after their first treatment, laser therapy generally works best as a course of treatment, with the effects building over time. For many conditions, a guide of 4-6 sessions is a useful starting point, although more complex or long-standing problems may benefit from additional treatments. I’ll always assess your progress as we go and tailor your treatment plan to your individual needs – there’s no obligation to book a set number of sessions.

In many cases, yes. Laser therapy can be used to support recovery after surgery, including comfort, inflammation and tissue repair.

Absolutely. Laser therapy is often used alongside other treatments as part of a wider recovery plan. It can complement physiotherapy, osteopathy, chiropractic care, massage, exercise rehabilitation and medical treatment.

Yes. Although laser therapy is suitable for many people, there are some situations where treatment may not be appropriate or may need to be modified. That’s why every new client begins with a thorough consultation, where I’ll take a full medical history and discuss any medications or health conditions to make sure laser therapy is safe and suitable for you.

For example, treatment may need to be avoided or postponed in certain circumstances, such as over a known cancer, during pregnancy in some treatment areas, or if you’re taking medication that makes your skin unusually sensitive to light. If I don’t feel laser therapy is the right treatment for you, I’ll always explain why and discuss the best way forward.nd tailor your treatment to your individual needs.

This depends on your individual policy. Some insurers may contribute towards treatment, while others don’t currently recognise laser therapy as a standalone benefit. I recommend checking with your insurer before booking if you intend to make a claim. If needed, I’m happy to provide invoices or treatment receipts to support your enquiry.
