Low level laser therapy (LLLT) assist with healing because it speeds of the kinetic energy of the cell. Each cell has mitochondria that produces ATP. LLLT activates this process to help the cellular activity to be sped up. With an injury or if there is an inflammatory disease like Parkinson’s or Multiple Sclerosis cold laser may assist and help decrease the symptoms.
The process of low-level laser therapy is based on a photochemical reaction in which discrete bundles of energy called photons are absorbed within the visible light spectrum of 380–700nm. The photon induced chemistry ultimately gives rise to the observable effect at the biological level. In order to achieve maximum photobiological effects, Erchonia adheres to the following delivery fundamentals: • Laser light that is monochromatic and coherent having only one wavelength. “LLLT delivered at low doses tends to work better than the same wavelength delivered at high levels, which illustrates the basic concept of biphasic dose response or hormesis” (Calabrese 2001b) Fundamentals of Photochemistry • Lasers within the visible light spectrum of 380-700nm. The primary mechanism for the absorption of visible light photons is the elevation of electrons to higher energy levels through photochem- istry. Simply, while visible light can produce photochemical effects, infrared only produces molecular rotations and vibrations.
LLLT is also know as cold laser. The main idea is that it accelerates healing by speeding up cellular activity to process inflammation
