One of the most surprising things we see with cold laser therapy is this: people often feel a real shift… and then it fades. Not because the laser “stopped working,” but because the body’s healing response tends to peak and taper within 48–72 hours.
We call our approach to this pattern the Decade Rule.
Here’s the idea: cold laser appears to increase your body’s ability to heal and repair itself by giving cells a temporary boost in function—think of it like turning up the dimmer switch on cellular energy and recovery. During that window, the body may be better able to reduce inflammation signaling, improve microcirculation, and support tissue repair.
But if you wait a week or two between sessions, you may miss the compounding effect—your body ramps up, then returns to baseline before it stacks into a bigger change.
So instead of “random sessions,” the Decade Rule uses rhythm.
Laser every 3 days (roughly 2–3x per week) is our consistency target, because it matches that 2–3 day response window. Then we scale the total number of sessions based on how long the issue has been “baked in” biologically.
Rule of thumb:
Aim for the number of laser sessions equal to the number of decades the body has lived.
So for someone 55–64 years old, that’s 6 sessions within 18 days. The goal is not to chase pain day-to-day—it’s to create a short, concentrated period where the body repeatedly gets the same “repair signal.”
When that signal is compounded often enough, we believe the body can shift from short-term relief into deeper progress—supporting cellular cleanup (clearing inefficient cells), building healthier replacements, and calming the cycle that keeps symptoms stuck.
This isn’t a guarantee, and it’s not a substitute for medical care. But as a clinical framework, the Decade Rule explains why so many people say: “When I stayed consistent, everything changed—fast.”
