What is the primary benefit of using pulsed laser therapy?

The primary benefit of using pulsed laser therapy is to minimize the risk of overheating. In this therapeutic approach, the laser emits energy in short bursts rather than a continuous stream. This pulsing action allows the target tissues to absorb energy efficiently without leading to excessive heat buildup that could potentially harm them. By preventing overheating, pulsed laser therapy can provide effective treatment while ensuring patient safety and comfort.

This method is especially important when treating sensitive or vulnerable areas where overheating can cause damage or increase discomfort. The pulsed nature of the treatment helps to achieve therapeutic benefits, such as pain relief and tissue healing, without compromising tissue integrity.
