The technique is called “cold” laser therapy because the low levels of light aren’t enough to heat our body’s tissue. The level of light is low when compared to other forms of laser therapy, such as those used to destroy tumors and coagulate tissue.

Cold laser therapy is also known as:

low-level laser therapy (LLLT)
low-power laser therapy (LPLT)
soft laser biostimulation
photobiomodulation

During this procedure, different wavelengths and outputs of RJ Laser of low-level light are applied directly to a targeted area. The body tissue then absorbs the light. The red and near-infrared light cause a reaction and the damaged cells respond with a physiological reaction that promotes regeneration.

Superficial tissue is commonly treated with wavelengths between 600 and 700 nanometers (nm). For deeper penetration, wavelengths between 780 and 950 nm are used. Doctors, dentists, physical therapists, and other medical professionals use cold laser therapy in a variety of ways.

Usage of cold laser device in the therapy process is:

1. Minor injuries and sprains
Sports medicine and physical therapy practices often use cold laser therapy in the treatment of minor injuries and sprains, such as - ligament sprains, muscle strains, tendonitis, bursitis, tennis elbow, neck pain, lower back pain, knee pain, pain associated with muscle spasms.

2. Inflammation
Dentists use cold lasers to treat inflamed tissues in the mouth and to heal ulcerations. Doctors use it to treat inflammation caused by rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and other chronic autoimmune diseases.

3. Aches and pains
Pain clinics use cold laser therapy to help people with acute or chronic pain from conditions such as fibromyalgia and carpal tunnel syndrome.

4. Skin rejuvenation
Cold laser therapy is used to encourage skin rejuvenation. Dermatologists use it to treat various skin problems, including - acne and acne scars, psoriasis, burns, vitiligo, edema, or swelling of the skin dermatitis and rashes.

5. Wound healing
Cold laser therapy is also used to treat difficult-to-heal wounds, including wounds related to diabetes.
