Frequently Asked Questions

What is Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)?

Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT), also called Photobiomodulation Therapy (PBM), uses specific light wavelengths to interact with tissues. Evidence suggests it may assist in reducing pain or inflammation and supporting the body’s natural healing responses. It is a non-invasive option sometimes considered as part of a broader pain management plan.

How does LLLT work?

LLLT directs low-intensity light to targeted areas of the body. This light energy is believed to stimulate cellular activity, which may support tissue recovery and help reduce discomfort in some individuals. Your practitioner can explain how this approach might fit within your overall treatment plan.

What conditions can be treated with LLLT?

LLLT may be used alongside other management strategies for conditions involving muscle, joint, or soft-tissue discomfort — for example, arthritis, tendon injuries, or post-surgical pain. Evidence does vary between conditions, and not all individuals experience the same results.

How long does each treatment session last?

Treatment sessions generally last between 20 and 45 minutes, depending on your condition. Your practitioner will discuss a personalised plan during your bulk-billed assessment.

How much does each treatment sessions cost?

The cost of Low Level Laser Therapy sessions with Laser For Pain are as follows:

Assessment Session: Through Medicare
30-Minute Session: $140 standard | $110 for pensioners & concession card holders
45-Minute Session: $190 standard | $140 for pensioners & concession card holders

How many treatment sessions will I need?

Treatment frequency varies depending on the condition, its severity, and individual response. Some patients may notice improvement after a few sessions, while others may require a longer course. Your practitioner will review progress regularly.

Are there any side effects of LLLT?

LLLT is generally well tolerated. Temporary redness or mild irritation at the treated site can occur. Your practitioner will explain potential side effects and ensure treatment is appropriate for your situation.

Is LLLT covered by health insurance?

Coverage varies between insurers and policies. Please check with your provider to confirm whether LLLT is included in your plan.

How do I know if LLLT is right for me?

Your eligibility and suitability will be assessed during a bulk-billed consultation. Dr Malekzadeh will review your medical history, discuss any current treatments, and outline whether LLLT may be an appropriate component of your care.
