- Treatment of soft tissue injuries
- Relief of chronic pain
- Support of wound healing
- Controversial ameliorative effect on tinnitus and nerve regeneration, as well as viral and bacterial infections, as no plausible mechanism is known.
Low-dose laser therapy (low-level laser therapy, LLLT) is a novel technique in human and veterinary medicine. It uses low-intensity light, e.g. from lasers or LEDs, to stimulate or inhibit cellular functions and achieve potentially positive clinical effects.
Mechanism
Specific wavelengths set at specific intensities of laser, LED or other sources of light are used to help regenerate tissue or treat injuries and pain.
