Does it hurt ?
Apex Pain Relief Laser Therapy is painless, although sometimes there might be a slight prickling or tingling sensation during or just after treatment.
Is Apex Pain Relief Laser Therapy dangerous?
No, providing you are appropriately trained and follow our guidance for safety protocols. Our Apex Pain Relief Laser devices are rated Class 3b and do not cause permanent damage. We do recommend the use of safety goggles during treatment. The laser effect is entirely beneficial and stimulates the body’s own repair mechanism. We do, however, provide free special dark ‘sun’ glasses to be worn when having treatment as a preventative measure.
Are there any side effects?
Occasionally there might be some reaction to the therapy in the form of temporary discomfort in the area that is being treated. This is normal and usually disappears within 12 – 24 hours.
What conditions should not be treated with Apex Pain Relief Laser Therapy?
Pregnancy (or suspected pregnancy)
Avoid thyroid gland
Avoid tattoos/moles/skin lesions/heavily pigmented blemishes
Avoid eyes – eyelids (wear laser safety goggles)
Ensure skin is clean and free from creams/make up prior to therapy
Cancer patients (all known studies indicate that cancer cells are unaffected by laser light. However, since this subject is still being researched, we do not at this time recommend that cancer patients receive laser therapy.

On no account ever shine the Apex Laser directly into anyone’s eyes. Remember laser ON, Goggles ON.
What is Laser Therapy?
Laser Therapy is intensified energy to enhance the body’s own natural healing processes. The laser light penetrates deep into the tissues and into each individual cell. The cell absorbs the energy from the laser light which accelerates the natural healing process as well as strengthening the immune system.
Our range of lasers induce cellular photobiomodulation within the red blood cells (PBM) which in turn expedites the body’s natural healing process.
