FAQ – Bioflex, Pakistan
Laser therapy, also known as low-level laser or light therapy (LLLT), is the use of light from a low-intensity laser diode or an array of Superluminous Diodes to eliminate pain, accelerate healing and decrease inflammation. LLLT is also known as cold laser, low-intensity laser therapy, or photobiomodulation.
Laser therapy does not heat or cut tissue, unlike high-intensity lasers. Many pharmacological treatments mask pain or only address the symptoms of the disease; laser Therapy treats the underlying condition or pathology to promote healing. This means that the treatments are effective and the benefits of laser therapy are long-lasting.
Laser therapy can be used to treat a broad range of medical conditions, including musculoskeletal problems, arthritis, sports injuries, wounds, chronic and degenerative conditions.
Treatments can last between 15 minutes to over 1 hour depending on the condition and area being treated.
The number of treatments will vary with regard to the individual problem as every patient and condition responds to Laser Therapy uniquely. In a recent clinical report on over 1,000 patients treated with the BioFlex Professional Laser Therapy System, patients averaged slightly less than 10 treatments to resolve their condition. In some patients, 1 treatment is sufficient; however, a range of 3 – 25 treatments can be required. In some cases, additional maintenance treatments may be recommended.
Fee for treatment is set by individual clinics and is $55 on average for 30 minutes.
Insurance coverage for laser therapy varies depending on the professional designation and/or qualifications of the therapist and the insurance plan.
Hundreds of research studies have shown laser therapy to be safe and effective. Laser Therapy is non-invasive, non-toxic and non-thermal. Unlike other forms of radiation, laser therapy is beneficial rather than harmful to tissue.

Meditech International Inc. is highly active in studying the clinical applications of laser therapy, particularly for conditions where current medical approaches are ineffective.
BioFlex Laser Therapy is able to influence the pathology directly at the cellular level, resulting in therapeutic benefits that are long lasting and address the underlying condition or pathology. This is unlike many other conventional treatments which treat only the symptoms or site of pain, without addressing the source of pain.
