What Is Low-Level Laser Therapy?
Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) is a form of regenerative medicine that uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate regrowth and relieve pain in damaged tissues and nerves. Unlike many laser treatments that use high-intensity light, LLLT utilizes low-intensity lasers to gently reduce inflammation and accelerate your body's natural healing processes with minimal pain and no scarring. At TOP ReNu Medicine, we perform LLLT as a nonsurgical pain management treatment for men and women in North Aurora and the Greater Chicago, IL area who have had little success alleviating chronic pain through conventional techniques. If ongoing pain or old injuries are limiting your enjoyment of your day-to-day life, we invite you to schedule a consultation at our practice to learn if low-level laser therapy can help you feel more like your old self again.
How Does Low-Level Laser Therapy Work?
Low-level laser treatments are performed in the comfort and convenience of our North Aurora, IL office. While you sit or lie back in a relaxed position, a member of our team will slowly glide the laser handpiece over the injured area. The cells in your body will absorb the laser's light, accelerating healing and providing relief from pain and inflammation. You may feel a slight tingling sensation, but most patients report no discomfort during or after their procedure. When your treatment is done, you can immediately get back to your routine.
What Are the Benefits of Low-Level Laser Therapy?
Many pain management treatments work by simply covering up the pain — once their effects wear off, patients are left with the same problems they had previously. Regenerative therapies, like LLLT, work by enhancing your body's healing processes to help you recover. Some of the benefits of low-level laser therapy at TOP ReNu Medicine include:
- Alleviates pain caused by past injuries or degenerative conditions
- Reduces inflammation
- Accelerates healing of injured tendons, joints, and muscles
- Noninvasive approach means no scarring and little to no discomfort
- Empowers patients to enjoy their favorite activities free from pain

Am I A Candidate for Low-Level Laser Therapy?
During your consultation, we will conduct a thorough physical examination of your hair and scalp to determine the cause of your hair loss and discuss potential treatment options, such as low-level laser therapy (LLLT). We often recommend LLLT for both male and female patients experiencing mild to moderate hair loss. This treatment can be used on its own or combined with other nonsurgical hair restoration methods, including platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy or topical medications. Additionally, we may suggest LLLT following hair surgery to help reduce inflammation and stimulate follicle growth after transplantation.
