Low-level laser therapy works by stimulating cellular growth and rejuvenation to the applied area. Amplified and synchronized light (laser beam) at a certain wavelength (600-1000nm) triggers a cellular and biochemical process, including ATP production, collagen production and increased blood flow to the affected area. The penetration of living tissue has been proven to be most effective at this 600-1000 nanometer range (the higher the wavelength of a laser, the deeper the penetration into the tissue). Products such as our SoftLaser operate at wavelengths of 635-675 nanometers, making it an excellent laser for superficial stimulation (skin) and regeneration without effecting deeper tissue.
