Cutting through the hype; An evidence-based evaluation of laser and regenerative technologies in veterinary medicine (LVS25)

21 Nov 2025 | 12:00 - 12:50 | Exhibitor Showcase Theatre 3

To critically assess the current scientific evidence supporting the use of laser therapy and regenerative medicine (e.g., stem cells, platelet-rich plasma) in veterinary practice, separating marketing claims from clinically relevant outcomes. What do we need to look for in the technology to be successful?

• To critically evaluate the current scientific evidence supporting the use of laser and regenerative therapies in veterinary medicine
• To differentiate between well-supported clinical applications and those lacking robust evidence or driven by marketing claims
• To understand the mechanisms, indications, and limitations of laser therapy, stem cell treatments, and platelet-rich plasma in veterinary practice
• To apply evidence-based decision-making to determine when and how to incorporate these technologies into clinical care responsibly
