Therapeutic laser (or cold laser) is an effective therapy for stimulating collagen and elastin. When the laser is shined on the skin, it dilates capillaries, allowing fresh blood supply and nutrients to the area, accelerating repair and regeneration of tissue. Therapeutic laser promotes the increase of oxygen for healthy cell metabolism, increasing lymph flow and speeding up the removal of cellular waste byproducts.

Unlike cosmetic lasers which burn and peel skin, the therapeutic laser does just the opposite. It is effective for the healing of burns, open wounds, severe back pain and many inflammatory and painful conditions.

Oscar Hernandez, owner of Lumina Healing Center, explains, “The therapeutic laser is comfortable and healing to the human body. At Lumina Healing Center, we incorporate the use of various lasers, depending on the condition being treated. Certain lasers are effective for the treatment of severe chronic pain/inflammation (deep penetration) and others for facial (shallow stimulation). For clients who are not afraid of needles, we take it one step further and perform facial rejuvenation with therapeutic laser followed by acupuncture for $65.”
