Are lasers more effective than LEDs for light Therapy?
A. No, In fact the opposite is true. Everyone thinks lasers work better since they cost more when they are simply throwing away money. Once a laser light enters the skin it is no longer a collumated beam of light, it is basically the same as an LED. The advantage of the LED’s are that they dispurse light up to 40 degrees at an angle so they cover a larger area. If you use a unit with several LED’s you cover a much larger area at a time, which is very important when working with larger muscle groups. An infrared LED will actually penetrate much deeper than a red laser.
