Brief History
MLS Laser Therapy was introduced to Animal Zone Veterinary Hospital in 2020 in an effort to provide higher quality patient care. We are not only the pioneers in the use of this technology on pets in South Africa but are also proud to be the only Veterinary Facility in South Africa currently utilising this form of alternative therapy. It has become the standard of care at Animal Zone Vet in alleviating both acute and chronic pain experienced by our patients. Rest assured that MLS Laser Therapy is the latest cutting edge technology that is patented, FDA cleared and SAHPRA approved. We have seen incredible results and are very confident in its very high efficacy rate in relieving pain and inflammation with no side effects, eliminating some of the risks from surgery and prescription pain killers, and ultimately restoring patients lives.
What is Laser Therapy?
Laser therapy uses light to favour and accelerate the body’s natural healing process. The laser beam is moved over the skin so that the light energy (photons) penetrates the tissue where it interacts with photochemical, photothermal and photomechanical effect.
What makes MLS Therapy so different
The innovative and patent Multiwave Locked System (MLS) Therapy Laser was developed in an effort to produce an efficient and simultaneous effect on pain, inflammation and oedema. Exceeding the limits of traditional LLLT (low-level light therapy) and concerns of HP (high power) laser therapy, MLS technology delivers both therapeutic wavelengths, 808nm (anti-oedemic and anti-inflammatory) and 905nm (analgesic). An energetic synergy is created when delivering these wavelengths that produces greater anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects than either can produce on its own while minimising the risk of thermal damage. It is this unique combination and synchronisation of continuous and pulsed emissions that characterises MLS and distinguishes it from other lasers. This unique feature provides more accurate therapeutic dose delivery, which means consistent and repeatable results with high levels of efficiency, safety and consistency. MLS Laser Therapy can help relieve pain and improve quality of life for both the animal and its owner.

Some of our MLS Therapy success stories
- Mls Therapy has shown a massive improvement to Caiyu from a point of not being able to use his hindlimbs to now being able to walk again without assistance is really impressive. Mls Laser Therapy and the team at Animal Zone Vet literally saved him. We are incredibly grateful to the team at Animal Zone Veterinary Hospital who are extremely passionate at what they do. ” Ash & Sash Naicker” To watch this incredible story visit the link: https://www.facebook.com/1560029154289300/videos/411069907025548
- Tomcat was a miracle rescue cat we found after the floods. He tested positive with Feline Aids and presented with severe inflammation and infection of his mouth and gumline. After just a few sessions of MLS Laser Therapy Dr Saimen was able to successfully reduce the size of his enlarged lymph nodes as well as reduce the infection in his mouth without any chronic medication. MLS Laser therapy has definitely given him a better quality of life. “Rhona Jensen”
- Phoebe had very bad bite wounds on her front leg. She had also lost her skin and muscles on this leg as well. We had brought her to Animal Zone Vet thinking we would have to amputate this leg. Dr Saimen offered us an alternative solution, namely MLS Laser Therapy. It worked incredibly well without the the need for any bandage changes. Within a month her leg was completely healed without any disability. Really amazing. “Elmarie Muhl” (Project Dog)
