Laser Therapy
Gentle, non-thermal laser light for pain and recovery. Backed by studies Dr. Gair helped run.
A new name
“Cold” is old
You may have heard it called cold laser. Today's lasers are better described as high energy, non-thermal lasers. They deliver real energy to the body without heating the skin.
Dr. Gair has used laser therapy with patients since 2004. He has also helped run the research behind it.
How it works
Light gives your cells energy
Plants turn light into energy. Your cells can use light too.
Light goes in
The laser sends a precise color of light into the area that hurts. You feel little or nothing.
Cells absorb it
The energy centers inside your cells absorb the light.
Your body responds
Research suggests cells use that energy to calm pain and support repair.

Why three colors
Wavelength, not wattage
A stronger laser is not a better laser. The color of the light decides how it works in the body. Dr. Gair uses three colors together.
