Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) is the use of a low-powered laser that emits specific wavelengths of light in the visible red and/or far infrared range for therapeutic purposes. This involves the application of low power light to areas of the body in order to stimulate healing. It is also known as cold laser, soft laser or low intensity laser.

The reason why the technique is termed LOW-level is that the optimum levels of energy density delivered are low when compared to other forms of laser therapy as practiced for ablation, cutting, and thermally coagulating tissue. more

Controlled research into the effects of low level laser is currently being conducted in various European centres and in Japan.

Knee injuries and conditions treated by low-level laser include tendonitis, bursitis, meniscus tears, runners knee/chondromalacia patella, knee joint effusion, iliotibial band syndrome, osgood schlatters disease, osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, and much more

How does laser work for inflammatory therapy?

-laser therapy improves Ca++ uptake in the mitochondria.(mitochondria in the red cells)

-ATP production and synthesis are significantly enhanced, contributing to cellular repair, reproduction and functional ability.

- Laser-mediated vasodilation enhances the transport of nutrients and oxygen to the damaged cells and facilitates repair and removal of cellular debris.

-Enhanced lymphocyte response.

-Increased angiogenesis.Laser-induced increases in NO and the growth factors.

-Decreased C-reactive protein and neopterin levels. Laser therapy has been shown to lower the serum levels of these inflammation markers, particularly in rheumatoid arthritis patients. Decreased marker levels are indicative that the combined effects of all LLLT-induced anti-inflammatory actions are effectively reducing the inflammatory process.

lasers are not magical; it is the light that they produce that yields the biological effect

Low-level laser therapy may sometimes provide an effective alternative to surgery or medications—without accompanying side effects. It can help regenerate tissue, reduce inflammation, decrease pain, and increase immunity, and research has shown its efficacy in treating many conditions.

How does laser therapy Heal wounds?

-Enhanced leukocyte infiltration. .

-Increased macrophage activity. LLLT accelerates macrophage activity in phagocytosis, growth factor secretion and stimulation of collagen synthesis.

-Increased neovascularization. Endothelial cell regeneration is accelerated.

-Increased fibroblast proliferation. LLLT stimulation increases collagen production.

-Early epithelialization. Laser-stimulated acceleration of epithelial cell regeneration speeds up wound healing, minimizes scarring, and reduces infection opportunities.

-Enhanced cell proliferation and differentiation. Laser-induced increases in NO, ATP and other compounds that stimulate higher activity in cell proliferation and differentiation into mature cells.

-Greater healed wound tensile strength. By increasing the amount of collagen production/synthesis and by increasing the intra and inter-molecular hydrogen bonding in the collagen molecules, laser therapy contributes to improved tensile strength.

In 2007, low-level light therapy (LLLT) was approved by the FDA as a treatment for hair loss

How to Use?

1st week: Start with the secondary power on pulse mode
2nd week: Adjust to maximum power on pulse mode
3rd week: You can start using it on maximum power on constant mode

Duration: Please use 2-3 times a day for about 10-20 minutes. You can set 15x time settings, 15-60 minutes

Distance from Skin: Keep a little distance of 1-2 inches away from the skin

History of laser therapy for pain?

Infrared light penetrates to the inner layers of the skin at about 2 to 7 centimeters deep. Hence, it reaches the muscles, nerves and even the bones. Many studies have shown that a frequency of infrared light, with wavelengths from 700 to 1,000 nanometers, is best used for healing inflammatory conditions.

The use of electricity for healing purposes began in 2,750 BC when people used electric eels to give electric shocks. Electricity and magnetism were used in people with just little success. However, in 1975, transcutaneous electrical stimulation (TENS) was developed to treat chronic pain. It was not until recently that infrared therapy was developed to improve wound healing, reduce the pain caused by arthritis, boost endorphin levels, and bioactivate neuromodulators.
