I still remember our family Christmas picture from when I was 12 years old. The top of my head was even with my 5’6” mother’s chin. Just 9 months later on my first day of 8th-grade football practice for Mountain Valley Middle in Satler, TX; I was 5’10”, 170lbs. A growth spurt so wicked, I today have a marble-sized knob on my knee from Osgood-Schlatter’s. I also have stretch marks so gnarly on my shoulders that I look like I was attacked by the Bear roaming through Fallston.
Anyone else in the same boat as me have stretch marks maybe after kids or after weight loss? Ya’ll remember a few weeks back I talked about a Lipo Laser? How it harnessed the energy from the light wave to stimulate lipolysis (melt fat)? Something else cool about that laser is it’s a dual wave. Meaning we can tune it from fat loss to an aesthetic setting. This stimulates collagen production and smoothing. It can be used to reduce cellulite, tighten skin, lessen the appearance of scars… AND remove stretch marks!
Next time you catch me at the beach, I’ll have the shoulders of an 18-year-old again. If you want to learn more, or for a FREE demo, give us a shout.

We have the technology. Literally, we own it. We have purchased a new and super advanced sophisticated heating device also known as a laser; no sharks though, I asked. An Aspen 60-watt class IV to be exact. It’s actually the exact same brand & model used by the Dallas Cowboys (almost sent it back after finding that out:)) but the same spec as the lasers used most other NFL, NBA, NHL and NASCAR teams that get players back in the game just weeks after what was once season ending injuries.
Laser light, though invisible to the naked eye (thanks for filing my childhood with lies George Lucas) is at such a specific wavelength and frequency when applied to an organism it stimulates metabolic processes at the cellular level. Unlike many other energy waves, laser light holds its intensity until it is absorbed by a medium (the body). The photon energy of laser effectively penetrates the skin and underlying tissue, which accelerates the body’s natural healing process. This transforms cells from a state of illness to a stable, healthy state. The result is reduced inflammation, increased blood flow, and stimulated tissue growth. Translation-it turns your cells into stem cells and triple charges healing and fights pain.
Laser Therapy treats many different things. It has beneficial effects for pain relief, resolving inflammation and increasing the speed, quality, and tensile strength of tissue repair. It has also been proved to increase the immune system, resolve infection and improve the function of damaged neurological tissue. Laser therapy also increases collagen production, bone repair, reducing edema, increasing lymphatic drainage, and increase production of capillary beds. Some other things Laser treats are, and this is the short list: Arthritis, joint and muscle pain of the shoulder and Rotator Cuff, Head & Neck, Back, Arms, wrist & Hand; Hip, Knee and legs, Foot & Ankle. Also, Bell’s Palsy, Bunions, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome (Carpal Tunnel of the feet), Fibromyalgia, Ganglion Cyst, Plantar Fasciitis & Heel Spurs. Along with Sciatica and other pinched nerves including Thoracic Outlet, Shin Splints, TMD/TMJ; Fractures; Diabetic and Non-diabetic neuropathy, Removes Scar tissue (new and old) Diabetic ulcers, Tendon and ligament injuries & Herniated discs.
Is It Safe?
Yes, it’s safe, yes it works, no it doesn’t hurt. It can even be safely administered over surgical – medical implants or metal. Treatments can be administered post-surgery for faster healing and recovery. While not covered by insurance, we have made it affordable to fit in with your regular co-pay and deductible or as a standalone treatment option

What is Laser? According to the esteemed Dr. Evil, it’s a ‘sophisticated heating device.’ While the heat of a laser is good for blowing up spacecraft and for deranged medical doctors to travel in time in an attempt to conquer the world; the light of the laser causes increased cellular stimulation and promotes healing. In short the light has healing properties.
How does laser therapy work?
Laser therapy stimulates injured and dysfunctional tissues. This stimulation leads to increased growth factor response within cells and tissue causing accelerated cell reproduction and increased cell repair. Increased metabolic activity also means an increase in enzyme outputs, oxygen and nutrient availability; AND Stem cell activation.
The unicorn of the medical world is Stem or Stim (plural) cells. Stim cells are a new “buzz” word in health care and rumored to be the next miracle cure. But like anything there are a few issues. First there is debate on where to ethically acquire the stim cells. Second “they” need figure out how to get the cells where to the injury in the body. And third, once 1 and 2 are solved how do you ensure the stems cells work? Why mess around with unknown and un-proven foreign cells when you could just activate ones you already own? Essentially that is what laser therapy does actives your stems cells within your own body to increase healing.
“The Laser”
Veterinarians have been on the forefront of laser therapy and research for the better part of the last two decades. Why Vets? Because people love pets more and they make better patients (except for you of course).
If you’re sitting (or standing) there asking yourself: “Self, would laser be good for me?” The answer is yes. In fact, the only thing that laser isn’t good for treating is tumors/cancer (don’t want to increase the metabolic activity) and maybe a burn, cause of the heat (yes, it’s the light not the heat I said that right? But it does get warm. Heat is a byproduct of energy).
