MLS Laser Therapy
Unlocking the Potential of MLS Laser Therapy for Feet and Ankle Wellness
At Vital Foot and Ankle, we’re always at the forefront of innovation and technology, particularly regarding the health and happiness of your feet and ankles. It’s with great enthusiasm that we introduce a revolutionary treatment method that has been transforming the landscape of podiatric medicine: MLS Laser Therapy. This advanced therapeutic technique offers an effective, non-invasive solution for many foot and ankle conditions, helping to restore mobility and enhance the quality of life for our patients.
What is MLS Laser Therapy?
Multiwave Locked System (MLS) Laser Therapy is a cutting-edge treatment that uses two specific wavelengths of light to interact with tissue to accelerate the healing process. The MLS laser is FDA-approved and is designed to emit a synchronized, dual-wavelength laser that has proven to be particularly effective in treating pain, inflammation, and swelling associated with foot and ankle disorders.
How Does It Work?
At the core of MLS Laser Therapy is its mechanism of promoting rapid cellular repair and growth. The laser penetrates deeply into the tissues without damaging them, stimulating the cells to produce more energy. This increased cellular function speeds up healing, reduces pain, and enhances vascular activity and lymphatic drainage. In simpler terms, it kick-starts the body’s natural healing mechanisms, making recovery quicker and more efficient.
The Multitude of Benefits
One of the most appealing aspects of MLS Laser Therapy is its wide array of benefits, including but not limited to:
- Pain Reduction: MLS Laser Therapy is highly effective in diminishing pain caused by injuries or chronic conditions.
- Anti-Inflammatory: The laser therapy has properties that significantly reduce inflammation, providing much-needed relief.
- Accelerated Tissue Repair: The therapy enhances cellular replication and growth, healing tissues faster than traditional methods.
- Improved Vascular Activity: Laser light increases the formation of new capillaries in damaged tissues, speeding up the healing process.
- Increased Metabolic Activity: This treatment boosts the body’s output of specific enzymes, enhancing cellular repair.
- Reduced Fibrous Tissue Formation: MLS Laser Therapy reduces scar tissue formation, leading to more complete healing.
- Improved Nerve Function: Slow recovery of nerve functions in damaged tissue can result in numbness and impaired limbs. Laser therapy speeds up this process.

Commonly Asked Questions
What wavelengths are used in the MLS Laser Therapy?
MLS Laser 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 Laser Therapy uses two wavelengths to overcome the limits of traditional Laser Therapy. Traditional Laser therapy does not deliver both wavelengths 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 edema.
What can I expect during a treatment?
MLS Laser Therapy is a painless treatment that lasts an average of 8 minutes. You may experience a comfortable sensation at the point of application.
What can I expect after the treatment?
The majority of individuals observe favorable outcomes after just 1 to 3 sessions, with a typical treatment regimen spanning 7 to 10 sessions. There’s a significant reduction in swelling and swift alleviation of pain. Acute conditions often resolve rapidly, usually within a single treatment phase, whereas chronic issues may be managed effectively with ongoing sessions.
The benefits of MLS Laser Therapy build over time, meaning improvements are more noticeable as you progress with your prescribed treatment plan. It’s imperative to follow through with the full series of treatments as advised by your healthcare provider to prevent the recurrence of symptoms.
