More on LLLT

Research has clearly demonstrated the effects of LLLT at a cellular level, in animals and from clinical experience, but work continues into understanding exactly how laser therapy works.

The key research questions today are not whether low level lasers have positive effects, but how the precise and multiple biological mechanisms combine to create the physiological effects.   

In the meantime LLLT is now widely used by healthcare professionals across the world who appreciate not only its effectiveness but its added advantages of being drug-free, pain-free, non-invasive and without unpleasant side effects. It is often less expensive than alternative treatments and has fewer contraindications than popular forms of electrotherapy, such as ultrasound.

Four important parameters need to be considered and set for practitioners to achieve the best possible therapeutic effects when using low level laser.

		Selection of the correct beneficial Wavelength.
		The use of the correct Power levels.
		The consistent application of the necessary amount of Energy.
		The appropriate Pulsing frequency.

Note: There are many class B lasers available on the world-wide-web for purchase. Please beware, these are often of limited value due to their incorrect wavelength, power level and pulsing frequency.
