What to Expect from Your Laser Therapy Session
Embarking on Class IV Laser Therapy at Impact Health & Wellness involves a series of steps designed to ensure the most effective and comfortable treatment experience. Here’s what you can anticipate at each stage:
- 1
1Consultation
Your journey begins with a one-on-one consultation at our Westerville, Ohio, clinic. During this initial meeting, our experts will review your medical history, assess your condition and discuss your health goals. This is an opportunity to address any questions or concerns you may have about the laser therapy. In many cases, laser therapy will be recommended as one piece of a comprehensive treatment program.

2Procedure
The laser therapy session is non-invasive and typically lasts between 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the area being treated. You'll relax in a comfortable position while the Summus medical laser device is directed at the target area, and you'll feel a gentle warmth as the Summus laser is applied to the skin.

3Recovery
One of the advantages of Class IV laser therapy is the minimal recovery time. Most patients can resume their normal activities immediately after the session. Our team will provide post-treatment care instructions to ensure optimal healing.
