Low Power Lasers became accessible for the treatment of pain in the late 1970s and have been widely utilized around the globe by clinicians and health practitioners in a variety of settings.

The extremely low power of these early devices limited the use of these lasers to superficial wound treatment as they were unable to penetrate the skin. With time, however, more powerful lasers were developed and more evidence emerged as to their therapeutic benefits.
Today, both Low and High Power Lasers are commonly used by allied health practitioners. High Power Lasers feature a deeper tissue penetration which can almost immediately arrest soft tissue and joint pain. Low Level Lasers are used for treating wound healing as well as pain relief.
Low Level Laser Therapy
Class 3B Laser
Class IIIb Lasers have been in use treating a variety of healthcare conditions for many years and are defined as having a total power output of 25-500 mW. These lasers are commonly referred to as “Cold Laser” or “Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)”.
LLLT is applied with a precise static technique
Longer dosage time due to lower power
Smaller treatment areas
Therapeutic Applications
Biostimulation
Wound healing
Acute trauma
Reduce inflammation
Reduce Edema
Pain Reduction
In our Chattanooga range, Low Level Laser Therapy is available on our Intelect Mobile, Advanced and Neo machines.
High Power Laser Therapy
Class 4 Laser
Class IV Lasers have been in use treating a variety of healthcare conditions for many years and are defined as having a total output of 501-15,000 mW.
These lasers are commonly referred to as “Hot Lasers” or “High Power Laser Therapy (HPL)”. With greater power, HPL achieves deeper penetration, greater photonic energy delivery and thermal effects.
HPL requires a dynamic application technique to avoid burns
Shorter dosage time
Larger treatment area
Therapeutic Applications
Immediate pain reduction
Muscle spasm
Acute trauma
Tissue repair
Modulation of inflammation
In our Chattanooga range, High Power Laser is available on our Chattanooga High Power Laser HPL7 & HPL15 units.
