Low Level Laser Therapy
CureSpa is a professional podiatry clinic based in Dublin, offering advanced Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) for the treatment of a wide range of foot and lower limb conditions. We use clinically proven Erchonia laser technology, a world leader in non-thermal, non-invasive photo biomodulation, to deliver safe and effective outcomes for our clients.
What Is Low Level Laser Therapy?
Low Level Laser Therapy involves the use of low-intensity lasers to stimulate cellular activity without generating heat. The process, also known as photo biomodulation, delivers specific wavelengths of light that penetrate deep into the tissues to promote healing, reduce inflammation and relieve pain. This therapy has been successfully used in sports medicine, orthopaedics, neurology and now, with increasing evidence, in modern podiatry.
Unlike high-power surgical lasers, LLLT does not cut or burn tissue. Instead, it supports the body’s natural regenerative processes. The Erchonia laser used at CureSpa is FDA-approved, CE-marked and backed by peer-reviewed clinical research.
Erchonia Lasers: Cutting-Edge Technology for Podiatry
CureSpa is proud to be one of the few podiatry clinics in Dublin utilising the Erchonia Low Level Laser, a world-renowned system that delivers laser energy at wavelengths specifically optimised for cellular recovery.
This device operates in the red and near-infrared spectrum, typically at 635nm and 405nm, which have been proven to:
-
Increase adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production within cells
-
Enhance circulation
-
Stimulate collagen synthesis
-
Reduce inflammation
-
Accelerate tissue repair
Our Erchonia system offers pain-free, contactless treatment that is safe for clients of all ages, including those with chronic conditions who are seeking non-pharmacological pain relief.
Conditions Treated with Low Level Laser Therapy
Plantar Fasciitis
A common and often debilitating heel pain condition, plantar fasciitis can be difficult to manage with conventional treatments alone. LLLT reduces inflammation in the plantar fascia and promotes healing, often bringing measurable relief after just a few sessions.
Achilles Tendonitis
This overuse injury affects the Achilles tendon and is prevalent among runners and athletes. Our Erchonia laser helps stimulate fibroblast activity and collagen remodelling, accelerating recovery while reducing downtime.
Peripheral Neuropathy
For patients suffering from nerve pain, numbness, or tingling—often due to diabetes or other metabolic disorders—LLLT offers a non-invasive treatment that improves blood flow and nerve regeneration.
Arthritic Foot Pain
For those with osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis in the feet or ankles, our therapy helps reduce joint stiffness, inflammation and associated pain without medication.
Post-Surgical Healing
Following podiatric surgery or procedures such as bunionectomy or nail surgery, LLLT can be used to speed up tissue regeneration, minimise scarring, and reduce pain during recovery.
Sports Injuries
We treat foot and lower limb sprains, strains, stress fractures, and overuse injuries with LLLT to support rapid healing and return to activity.
Ulcers and Wound Care
For individuals with diabetic foot ulcers or pressure sores, the Erchonia laser stimulates angiogenesis and cell repair, encouraging faster wound healing in compromised tissues.
What to Expect During Treatment
A typical LLLT session at CureSpa lasts between 10 to 30 minutes, depending on the condition being treated. The procedure is completely non-invasive and painless. Most clients feel nothing during treatment, though some may experience a gentle warming sensation.
There is no downtime following the procedure, and many patients report noticeable relief even after the first session. A course of several treatments is usually recommended for lasting benefits, which we will discuss during your initial consultation.
