Frequently Asked Questions for Remy Laser Therapy
What is Remy laser therapy?
Remy is a Class IV therapeutic laser that delivers concentrated light energy into tissue, a process called photobiomodulation, to reduce pain and inflammation and support healing. It is completely non-invasive, and most patients feel only a gentle warmth during treatment. It is used as a drug-free, surgery-free option for a range of foot and ankle conditions.
What conditions can laser therapy help with?
Class IV laser therapy is commonly used for plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, tendon and soft-tissue strains, arthritis and nerve-related pain, sports and overuse injuries, and certain skin and nail conditions. It is typically one part of a broader treatment plan rather than a standalone cure. Dr. Lee can tell you whether it is appropriate for your specific condition.
Does laser therapy hurt, and is there downtime?
No on both counts. Treatment is painless aside from a mild warming sensation, with no anesthesia or injections, and there is no downtime, so you can return to normal activities immediately afterward. Sessions are short and done in the office.
How many sessions will I need?
Laser therapy is usually given as a short series of sessions, with the exact number depending on your condition and how you respond. Many patients notice relief after a few sessions. Dr. Lee will outline an expected plan at your visit.
Does laser therapy really work?
Class IV laser can help reduce pain and inflammation and is a useful option for patients who want to avoid medication or surgery, particularly as part of a combined treatment plan. Response varies from person to person, and it works best when paired with the other measures in your care plan. Dr. Lee will give you an honest assessment of what it can do for your situation.
Is laser therapy covered by insurance?
Class IV laser therapy is often not covered by insurance and may be an out-of-pocket service. Call our office at (425) 455-0936 and we will explain the cost and options before you begin.
