What is Low Intensity Laser Therapy (LILT)?
Laser therapy is the use of monochromatic light emission from a low intensity laser diode (250 milliwatts or less) or any array of high intensity Super Luminous Diodes (providing total optical power in the 1000-2000 milliwatt range) to treat musculoskeletal injuries, chronic and degenerative conditions and to heal wounds. The light source is placed in contact with the skin allowing the photon energy to penetrate the tissue, where it interacts with various intracellular biomolecules resulting in the restoration of normal cell function and enhancement of the body’s healing processes.
LILT is the use of monochromatic light emission from a low intensity laser diode (250 milliwatts or less) or an array of high intensity, super luminous diodes (providing total optical power in the 1000-2000 milliwatt range) to treat musculoskeletal injuries, chronic and degenerative conditions and to heal wounds. The light source is placed in contact with the skin allowing the photon energy to penetrate the tissue, where it interacts with various intracellular biomolecules resulting in the restoration of normal cell function and enhancement of the body’s healing processes.
Low Intensity Laser Therapy (Laser therapy) uses light from laser diodes and/or Super Luminous Diodes (SLDs) (SLDs are very bright LEDs) to treat musculoskeletal injuries, chronic and degenerative conditions. The light source is placed in direct contact with the skin allowing the light energy to penetrate into the tissue, where it interacts with various intracellular biomolecules resulting in the restoration of normal cell function and enhancement of the body s healing processes. Since Laser Therapy is low power, the light does not produce enough heat to destroy tissue. The only thing the patient feels is mild warmth due to the fact that all light sources generate some heat. Our highly trained staff will be able to create a treatment program specific to your condition and needs. Total Laser Health has two Dublin locations and is glad to offer a free consultation service.

What does LILT do? Are there any negative effects of LILT? There are no known negative side effects of laser therapy. LILT does not cause cancer or burns. LILT is non-traumatic, non-invasive, easily applied and highly effective with a cure rate of greater than 95%. Low Intensity Laser is the use of monochromatic light. The light is placed in contact with the damaged tissue. In the short term, LILT produces and releases hormones that inhibit the sensation of pain and allowing the body the ability to combat the stress associated with the trauma or disease. In the long term, the production of a protein called adenosine triphosphate (ATP) increases resulting in improved cellular metabolism. New blood vessels are also formed. Other effects include increased immune response and improved lymphatic drainage . If traditional pain management methods have failed you, maybe laser therapy can help you!
