At NexGen Laser Pain & Rehab Centers in The Villages, Florida, Dr. Todd Mautner, DO, is witnessing something remarkable. After years of treating patients who felt like they’d exhausted every option, he’s found a combination that’s changing lives: Nocepta™ transdermal topicals paired with MLS Robotic Class IV Laser Therapy.
“Over 90% of my patients are finally finding the relief they’ve been searching for,” says Dr. Mautner, a board-certified anesthesiologist and fellowship-trained interventional specialist. “Many come to me after trying everything: physical therapy, chiropractic care, acupuncture, medications, injections, even surgery or spinal cord stimulators. They’re frustrated, discouraged, and frankly, losing hope.”
The Search for Real Solutions

The statistics surrounding chronic discomfort are sobering. Millions of adults struggle with mobility limitations, soft-tissue challenges, and reduced quality of life that affects their ability to stay active, engage socially, and enjoy the activities they love. Traditional approaches often focus on managing symptoms rather than addressing the underlying mechanisms that affect comfort and movement.
Dr. Mautner’s practice takes a different approach. “We’re not just masking symptoms: we’re targeting the fundamental processes that support tissue recovery, circulation, and mobility,” he explains. “When you combine advanced transdermal delivery with precise laser technology, you’re addressing multiple pathways simultaneously.”
Why Nocepta™ Makes the Difference
The key to Dr. Mautner’s success lies in understanding how different therapeutic modalities can work synergistically. Nocepta™ transdermal topicals utilize a sophisticated delivery system designed for optimal absorption through the skin barrier: a critical factor that many topical applications fail to achieve effectively.
“Most topical products sit on the surface of the skin,” Dr. Mautner notes. “Nocepta’s nanoemulsified formulation is engineered for deeper penetration, allowing active ingredients to reach the soft tissues where they can support natural recovery processes.”
Advanced Transdermal Technology
The science behind transdermal delivery involves bypassing the digestive system entirely, allowing therapeutic compounds to be absorbed directly through the skin. This approach offers several advantages:
- Localized action: Active ingredients are delivered precisely where they’re needed
- Enhanced bioavailability: Direct absorption means higher concentration at the target site
- Sustained release: Continuous delivery over extended periods
- Reduced systemic exposure: Minimizes potential interactions with other medications
Nocepta’s proprietary formulation incorporates cutting-edge nanoemulsion technology, creating microscopic particles that can penetrate the skin’s natural barriers more effectively than traditional creams or gels.
The MLS Laser Advantage

While Nocepta™ topicals provide the foundation, Dr. Mautner’s protocol incorporates MLS (Multiwave Locked System) Robotic Class IV Laser Therapy to amplify results. This advanced laser technology delivers synchronized wavelengths that work at the cellular level to support natural healing processes.
“The MLS system isn’t like older laser technologies,” Dr. Mautner explains. “It delivers precise, controlled energy that stimulates cellular metabolism, enhances circulation, and promotes tissue regeneration. When combined with Nocepta’s transdermal delivery, we’re supporting recovery from multiple angles.”
How the Combination Works
The synergy between topical therapy and laser treatment creates what Dr. Mautner calls a “dual-pathway approach”:
- Cellular stimulation: MLS laser therapy enhances mitochondrial function and ATP production
- Improved circulation: Both modalities support healthy blood flow to affected areas
- Enhanced absorption: Laser treatment may improve the skin’s permeability to topical applications
- Sustained benefits: The combination provides both immediate and long-term support
Patient Success Stories
The results speak for themselves. Patients who arrive at NexGen feeling defeated often leave with renewed optimism and improved mobility.
“I see people who’ve been told there’s nothing more that can be done,” Dr. Mautner shares. “They’ve tried prescription medications, undergone procedures, spent thousands on alternative treatments. Then they experience this combination protocol, and suddenly they’re able to garden again, play with grandchildren, return to activities they thought were lost forever.”
Real-World Outcomes
Dr. Mautner’s patients typically report improvements in several key areas:
- Enhanced mobility: Greater ease of movement and flexibility
- Improved sleep quality: Better rest without nighttime discomfort
- Increased activity levels: Return to hobbies, exercise, and social activities
- Better mood and outlook: Relief from the emotional burden of chronic limitations
“It’s not just about physical comfort,” Dr. Mautner emphasizes. “When people can move freely again, participate in activities they love, and sleep through the night, their entire quality of life improves.”
A Non-Invasive, Drug-Free Approach

One of the most appealing aspects of Dr. Mautner’s protocol is its gentle, non-invasive nature. Unlike surgical interventions or prescription medications, the Nocepta™ and MLS laser combination offers:
✓ Non-invasive treatment: No needles, incisions, or invasive procedures
✓ Drug-free approach: Reduces concerns about medication interactions or side effects
✓ Gentle and safe: Well-tolerated by patients of all ages
✓ Quick sessions: Most treatments can be completed in under an hour
“Patients appreciate that they don’t have to worry about recovery time or significant side effects,” Dr. Mautner notes. “Many report noticeable improvements within just a few sessions.”
The Science of Targeted Relief
Understanding why this combination is so effective requires looking at the mechanisms of action involved. Nocepta™ topicals contain carefully selected compounds that interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system: a complex network of receptors that helps regulate various physiological processes including comfort, inflammation response, and tissue repair.
When these compounds are delivered transdermally, they can:
- Support natural anti-inflammatory processes
- Promote healthy circulation in targeted areas
- Assist with tissue recovery and regeneration
- Help maintain normal nerve function
The MLS laser therapy works complementarily by:
- Enhancing cellular energy production
- Supporting healthy inflammatory response
- Improving local circulation
- Stimulating natural healing cascades
Beyond Symptom Management
Dr. Mautner’s approach represents a fundamental shift from traditional symptom management to comprehensive recovery support. “We’re not just trying to mask what patients are feeling,” he explains. “We’re supporting the body’s natural ability to heal and recover.”
This philosophy aligns with growing recognition in healthcare that effective treatment must address root causes rather than simply managing symptoms. By combining advanced transdermal delivery with precision laser therapy, the protocol supports multiple aspects of tissue health and function.
Who Can Benefit?
The Nocepta™ and MLS laser combination has shown effectiveness across a wide range of conditions affecting mobility and comfort:
- Joint stiffness and mobility limitations
- Soft tissue concerns following injury or overuse
- Chronic muscle tension and spasms
- Post-surgical recovery support
- Sports-related tissue damage
- Age-related mobility challenges
“I’ve seen this protocol help everyone from weekend warriors to seniors who just want to stay active,” Dr. Mautner says. “The key is that it supports natural healing processes regardless of age or activity level.”
