A Couple Of Major Manufacturers Say That Nothing But A Class IV Laser Will Achieve The Penetration Necessary For Success, But I’m Concerned About Safety?
And you should be concerned about the safety of the Class IV products. Some of these devices can emit up to 7.5 WATTS – which definitely IS NOT low level laser therapy – and, if used incorrectly … even for a second … could have devastating consequences. Low level laser therapy is defined as devices that produce below 1 watt of power. And most low level lasers that stay within these boundaries are completely safe. I think you’ll find the following excerpt from a well respected journal interesting with regards to the potential penetration of regular low level laser therapy products. “In particular, red and near-infrared wavelengths have been proven to have extensive biostimulatory effect. Near-infrared light can penetrate up to 25 cm into biological tissues. Journal of Clinical Laser Medicine and Surgery, August 2003, Pg. 233.” And they’re not talking about potentially dangerous Class IV laser devices – which weren’t readily available at the time of the article.
