Low-level laser, also called photobiomodulation, uses low-intensity light that doesn't heat or cut the skin. In TCM practice it's used to stimulate acupoints without needles. At Flourish TCM Clinic we use the BioFlex system in Laser Acupoint Therapy, the Anti-Wrinkle Laser Facial and the Lymphatic Anti-Wrinkle Facial.
A probe is held on a point for a short time, giving red and near-infrared light. The light is absorbed by tissue. Low-level light therapy is researched for effects on circulation and tissue repair, with mixed evidence across uses.
