MLS (Multiwave Locked System) Laser Therapy
Modern treatment that reduces pain quickly and effectively
MLS (Multiwave Locked System) Laser Therapy is an advanced laser technology designed to eliminate pain and reduce inflammation in the body in a safe, painless, and non-invasive way. This therapy utilizes dual wavelengths of infrared light to penetrate deep into the tissue, stimulating regeneration at the cellular level. The treatment is FDA-cleared, safe, and effective, with no known side effects.

Whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing chronic joint discomfort, or looking for a faster way to heal after surgery, this non-invasive treatment can effectively support your recovery.
MLS Laser Therapy is effective for:

The MLS Laser Therapy Experience: What to Expect
A typical MLS Laser Therapy session is remarkably convenient and comfortable:

How MLS Laser Therapy Works
The science behind MLS Laser Therapy is both fascinating and well-documented:
- Photobiomodulation: When light energy reaches damaged cells, it stimulates the mitochondria (the cell’s powerhouse) to increase production of ATP—the energy currency of cells.
- Reduced Inflammation: Laser therapy triggers vasodilation, improving blood circulation while reducing swelling and inflammation.
- Pain Reduction: MLS Laser inhibits pain receptors and stimulates endorphin release, providing immediate analgesic effects.
- Accelerated Cell Repair: The light energy accelerates cellular metabolism, prompting cells to repair themselves faster than they would naturally.
What makes MLS Laser Therapy particularly effective is the synchronization of continuous and pulsed emissions, ensuring the therapeutic effects penetrate deep into tissues without causing heat damage.
What to Expect During Your First Laser Therapy Visit
Your first visit for MLS laser therapy in Seattle is designed to be smooth, informative, and comfortable.
Here’s what you can expect at Tangelo:
- Initial Evaluation: We begin with a brief intake and physical assessment to learn about your symptoms, activity level, and goals. This helps us determine if MLS laser therapy is right for you and allows us to tailor your treatment plan to your needs.
- Laser Therapy Session: Each session takes about 10–15 minutes. You will be seated or lying down comfortably while a provider applies the laser to the affected area using a small handheld device. Most people feel no discomfort, and some report a mild warming sensation.
- Post-Session Plan: After treatment, you can return to your normal activities immediately. There is no downtime, and the effects build gradually with each session.
Most patients complete a plan of 6–12 sessions over two to four weeks. Your practitioner will explain the full schedule during your first visit.
How MLS Laser Therapy Can Support Your Health
Many people use MLS laser therapy as part of an ongoing wellness plan, not just for injury recovery.
When used consistently, it can help:
- Support blood flow and tissue recovery
- Improve range of motion and flexibility
- Encourage faster response to rehab programs
- Reduce the intensity or frequency of flare-ups
- Promote long-term joint and muscle function
Some patients report improvement after just a few sessions. For others, results build gradually as part of a complete care plan. MLS laser therapy in West Seattle and Green Lake is often chosen for its gentle nature and ability to fit easily into a weekly routine.

#awesomesauce!
Von, is a very knowledgeable rehab specialist and makes sure I’m doing the exercises correctly. I appreciate her expertise in prescribing the right exercises for specific ailments.

welcoming, approachable and helpful with scheduling. Thanks Tangelo!
Dr. Hilary and Von are both great to work with and really help to resolve any pains or niggles that crop up, before they turn into something more serious. The nice part is you don’t have to wait for an injury to see them. I find the work we do together there is just as beneficial even when everything is feeling strong and healthy, which allows me to go out and train hard with confidence.
