Looking for a Laser? Trying to get informed? How do you choose the right one? The following information has been provided to help you make the right decision. If you have any other questions or concerns regarding cold lasers, please call Neil @ 800-463-1381.

Frequency of Treatment Sessions:

In general, treat every 2-3 days for 4-5 treatments. Follow this with one treatment per week until the issue is resolved. Some conditions, including long term chronic conditions may need "tune up" treatment every 4-6 weeks, or as required.

Treatment Parameters:

Never look directly at the Laser aperture or the light. Protect your eyes. Infrared laser light is invisible, so use extra caution with it.

A maximum of 50 Joules per adult for total treatment dosage and 25 Joules for a child is recommended per session.

Overuse of a laser is generally just a waste of time and will cause diminishing returns, reducing the benefits, but you will not make a cell worse than when you started.

If pain gets worse due to treatment, which rarely occurs, do not be alarmed. The laser has increased the circulation and caused the release of toxins, which sometimes causes some early discomfort. It is an indication of tissue reactivity and precedes improvement.

Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) is generally considered complimentary and can be used with adjunctive treatments. In general it is a good idea when combining LLLT with other modalities to do cooling techniques prior to LLLT and warming techniques after LLLT.

Patients with acute conditions will frequently see beneficial effects almost immediately. Patients with chronic conditions may find that a slightly longer treatment regime is required before effects are obvious.
