This video will explain the difference in depth penetration of High-Power Lasers vs Red Light Therapy, commonly know as
FLASH LIGHT THERAPY!
Red Light Therapy primarily uses LED bulbs, similar to standard household lighting, to emit therapeutic light. These LEDs typically operate at lower power levels (wattage) and within a wavelength range of 600-800nm. Due to this lower wattage and wavelength, red light therapy is limited in its ability to reach deep tissues, making it most effective for surface-level skin concerns.
LLLT (Low-Level Laser Therapy), also known as Cold Laser Therapy, uses a Class III laser with less than 1 watt of power. The terms “low-level” or “cold”, simply refers to the fact that class III lasers produce less heat in the tissues than a class IV laser. Operating in the 800-1100nm wavelength range—similar to infrared lasers—LLLT can produce comparable tissue responses but requires much longer treatment times due to its low power.
