Therapeutic Laser Therapy (Summus H1)
What is Therapeutic Laser Therapy?
Our Summus H1 therapeutic laser is a safe, non-invasive treatment that uses gentle light energy to reduce inflammation, relax tissues, and support healing. Class IV laser therapy has been shown to benefit both surface-level concerns and deeper tissue conditions, with virtually no side effects. Treatments are quick, comfortable, and performed right here in the office.
Why Choose Therapeutic Laser Therapy?
Laser therapy can be helpful in situations where traditional treatments may not address the underlying tissue tension or inflammation. We use it to support patients who may experience:
- Tension in connective tissues or muscles
- Jaw soreness or temporomandibular disorder (TMD)
- Inflammation or discomfort after tongue- or lip-tie releases
- General oral or facial inflammation that impacts comfort and function
How Does It Work?
The Summus H1 is a Class IV therapeutic laser that delivers light energy at multiple wavelengths. This stimulates cellular activity, increases circulation, and promotes tissue relaxation. The result is improved healing, reduced scar tissue formation, and greater comfort. Most patients describe a gentle warmth during treatment, and many notice symptom relief soon after.
What Happens Next?
Therapeutic laser therapy can be provided as a stand-alone treatment or as part of a larger care plan. Some patients may benefit from a few focused sessions after a procedure, while others may return for periodic care to manage tension, TMD symptoms, or ongoing inflammation. Dr. Jen will help determine whether laser therapy should be integrated into your treatment plan.
