LLLT | neurogymfix

LLLT is a non-invasive and effective form of a therapeutic modality that uses the innovative power of lasers to penetrate the body’s tissues, allowing them to increase mitochondrial activities, stimulate healing processes, impulse cellular metabolism, improve cell proliferation and stimulate neurogenesis.
