Cutting Edge Veterinary Lasers

Overview of Laser Therapy

Conventional Laser therapy has been in use for more than 25 years. More than 3,000 scientific publications test its effectiveness and the validity of this approach. It has been demonstrated that it is not toxic and it has no side effects. Today, it is used as a monotherapy or as a complementary therapy. Until now, the challenge with Laser Therapy has been its inability to treat deep-seeded pathologies, since it is used with low to medium power.  We are pleased to provide practicing Veterinarians with the most advanced technology available today to leverage the benefits associated with laser therapy: MLS Harmony Therapy and HILTVET Therapy.

MLS Harmony Therapy

MLS Therapy is a new therapy for treating pain, inflammation, and edema and for repairing superficial lesions.  It was developed to overcome the limits of traditional Laser therapy, based on the use of diode lasers.  Currently, no diode laser is able to induce strong anti-inflammatory, anti-edema and analgesic effects simultaneously and within a short period of time.  Continuous Laser emissions act fast on inflammation, stimulating blood and lymphatic circulation and inducing fast re-absorption offluid build-ups; however, they only have a secondary effect on pain, which is diminished after reducing the inflammatory process.  Pulsed Laser emissions, on the other hand, have an immediate effect on pain, since they are able to produce analgesia, interfering with ther very transmission of the pain impulse to the higher brain centers, but they are less effective at treating inflammation and edema, only achieving results after a long period of application.  MLS Therapy is able to overcome the limits imposed by selecting one of the two emission types, since it is based on the characteristic therapeutic properties of a new Laser pulse.  It uses an MLS pulse, which combines and synchronizes emission of continuous and pulsed Laser emissions with different infared wavelengths.  The patented control system that generates the MLS pulse synchronizes the two emissions.

Thanks to this characteristic synchronization, the various therapeutic effects – anti-inflammatory and anti-edema of the continuous emission and analgesic of the pulsed emission –not only take place at the same time but reciprocally reinforce each other.  Because of this, MLS therapy is able to guarantee effectiveness and short treatment times when treating numerous osteo-muscular system diseases and when repairing superficial lesions.

HILTVET Therapy - High Intensity Laser Therapy

Today, thanks to the revolutionary patented HILT Therapy, it is possible to treat deeper disorders, since HILT features the power and the energy which are necessary to treat all deep seated inflammatory conditions, and not only the superficial disorders. HILT is not toxic and can be performed without damaging the surrounding tissues pathology.

HILT therefore is the sole therapeutic method which allows to treat safely all the inflammatory states, also if located in depth, inducing – since the very first application – a strong reduction of pain, together with the recovery of mobility. This beneficial effect can last from 4 to 72 hours after the first application. After some sessions, the complete disappearance of pain and the complete mobility recovery can be achieved.

HILT is revolutionizing the therapeutic approach of small animal veterinarians, orthopedic surgeons, physiotherapists, chiropractors, and sport medicine experts.

Clinical Benefits of Laser Therapy

Customers value the clinical benefits of laser Therapy for veterinary care.
The benefits of laser therapy are relatively new in the veterinary industry.  Despite this, customers are quick to adopt the technology as they see a marked improvement in the health of their pets, quickly and free of side-effects.

MLS Harmony is the most advanced small animal laser on the market.  The breakthrough of the multiwave system offeres greater benefit to the patient that any one wavelength alone.

Benefits include intense anti-inflammatory and anti-edemic effects, and also strong analgesic effect. 

Quicker Recovery
As a result of all of the above, laser therapy provides the benefit your clients will appreciate the most: a quicker recovery for their pet.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the most common indications for therapy?

The most common MLS Therapy indications are pain relief, intervertebral disc disease, post surgical pain relief, degenerative joint disease, wound healing, arthritic conditions, muscular/skeletal system trauma,and inflammatory conditions.

What wavelengths are used in the MLS therapy?

MLS therapy uses both the 808nm and 905nm wavelengths simultaneously.  The 808nm wavelength is delivered using continuous emission while the 905nm wavelength is delivered using pulsed emission.

Why are two wavelengths used?

MLS Therapy uses two wavelengths to overcome the limits of traditional Laser Therapy.  Traditional Laser therapy does not deliver both wave lengths in a reinforcing and synchronized fashion.  Continuous laser emissions act fast on inflammation, stimulating blood and lymphatic circulation and inducing fast re-absorption of fluid build ups; however they only have a secondary effect on pain, which is diminished after reducing the inflammatory process.  Pulsed laser emissions, on the other hand, have a practically immediate effect on pain, since they are able to induce analgesia, interfering with the very transmission of the pain impulse to the higher brain centers, but they are less effective at treating inflammation and oedema.

Is MLS Therapy approved by the FDA?

Yes, the FDA has approved the use of MLS therapy and it is also patented via the US Patent Office.

What is the advantage of MLS therapy over traditional low level lasers? (LLLT)

MLS Therapy is able to induce strong anti-inflammatory, anti-oedema, and analgesic effects simultaneously and within a short period of time.  LLLT cannot achieve these results because of the limitations of using one or two wavelengths that are not synchronized.  The patented control system that generates the MLS pulse synchronizes the emissions to achieve results previously unattainable.  Thanks to this characteristic synchronization, the various therapeutic effects not only take place at the same time but reciprocally reinforce each other.

What is Harmony?

Harmony is the name of the laser used in the veterinary market that utilizes the patented MLS Therapy.  The name was chosen because of the relationship of the 2 wavelengths and how they work together, much like a symphony, both bringing different characteristics to the table and complimenting the benefits of the other. 

Is Harmony a class IV laser?

Yes, Harmony is a class IV laser with a peak power of 25 watts.   

What is the depth of penetration of the Harmony laser?

The depth of penetration will vary based on the animal but it is safe to assume that it will penetrate 4-5 cm on most animals. 

How many treatments are usually needed to get results?

Results can often been seen after the first treatment.  Most conditions have protocols that range from 6-10 treatments.  The treatments are cumulative and are delivered 2-3 times per week for 2-3 weeks.

What is the cost of each treatment?]

The treatments can range from $40 to $50 per treatment.  The most common is a 6 treatment package sold for $450-$300.

How was MLS Therapy developed and tested?

MLS Therapy has been developed and tested following a strict course of biomedical and clinical research.  The effectiveness of the combination of the emissions makingup the MLS pulse was initially tested in vitro on cellular cultures, then in vivo on animals, and finally by means of controlled clinical trials run bymajor state-of--the-art health organizations for treating traumatic and degenerative painful diseases.
