Laser Therapy

SOUND recently surveyed its entire laser install base to get feedback on their implementation. We asked questions about clinical efficacy, workflow integration, and financial viability. An encouraging percentage (over half) of our installs responded with answers to our questions as well as open-ended feedback. Our customers reported exciting levels of success across the board, especially with respect to: • Clinical efficacy • Decrease in concurrent medication • Ease of implementation • Immediate & Sustainable Profitability • Growth opportunities
