The most common reaction to a first cold laser session is mild surprise at how little there is to feel. The device is held against or just above the skin over the treatment area, and the light it emits produces no heat and no discomfort. A session usually lasts only a few minutes per area. A Grover Beach patient can typically return to normal activity right afterward with no downtime at all.
That gentleness is part of why cold laser therapy appeals to people who want a non-invasive option. There are no needles and no recovery period to plan around. When a Grover Beach patient comes to Beacon Clinic for cold laser therapy, the experience is about as low-stress as a treatment gets, which makes it easy to include across a series of visits.
