I have gone through 12 sessions of laser therapy. So far I am not seeing any results. Has anyone else had this type of therapy and if so, I’d like to know if you did or did not receive any benefits. Thank you.

Hi @nct12 ,
I had cold laser therapy and it worked. There are so many factors involved on why it does or does not work. Diet and exercise are key components too. I have written about it a couple times it might come up with a search. I will answer questions, I just need to go out the door.

OK, I have had lasers of varying colors shot on my back, my forehead(!?), and other places I can't remember. None have done any good. And, why should high energy light waves be expected to penetrate more than a few tenths of a millimeter into the skin? No more lasers for me.
