Frequently Asked Questions
What is BioFlex Laser Therapy?
The technology utilizes superluminous and laser diodes to treat diseased or traumatized tissue with photos. These particles of energy are selectively absorbed by the cell membrane and intracellular molecules, resulting in the initiation of a cascade of complex physiological reactions, leading to the restoration of normal cell structure and function.
The process is curative and therefore results in the elimination of symptoms, including pain. In addition, Laser Therapy enhances the body’s immune response and facilitates natural healing.
Is Laser Therapy painful?
Laser Therapy is completely safe, non-invasive, non-toxic and pain-free. No pain is experienced during a Laser Therapy treatment, you may feel a warm soothing sensation and for many this is very relaxing – some people even fall asleep during treatment!
All our BIOFLEX Laser Therapy systems are Health Canada and FDA approved.
Are there any side effects to Laser Therapy?
Laser Therapy is an extremely safe form of treatment with no known side effects experienced.

TESTIMONIALS
What Our Client Says
Dr. Ali Akhavan and his staff are very courteous and professional. I had been living with a chronic pain for years in both my shoulder and hip. After receiving Shockwave Therapy from Dr. Akhavan, I wake up and I'm pain free all day. I wish I had known of this treatment years earlier. I would highly recommend the treatment, as well as Dr. Akhavan.

Roozbeh A.
I can’t speak more highly of Doctor Ali Akhavan. When I first visited I was suffering from chronic pain for over a year, seeing everyone I could to try solve the issue. In a very short time with Doctor Ali, I was able to get a diagnosis and treatment plan. After only a month of treatment, my pain had reduced by more than 80%. At the end of my treatment
