Lymphoedema and Laser Therapy Clinic, Adelaide, South Australia and a current director of the Australasian Lymphology Association Laser is amplified electromagnetic radiation in a particular wavelength range (measured in nanometres [nm]) produced by electronically stimulating a medium to release photon bundles of energy. Medical lasers can be broadly generalised into: 8 High output lasers that ...

Low power laser therapy (photobiomodulation, laser biostimulation) was advanced more than 30 years ago. Since then medical treatment with coherent light sources (lasers) or noncoherent light (Light Emitting Diodes, LED’s) has passed through its childhood and early maturity. The controversial points of laser biostimulation, which were topical at the end of 80ties (reviews [1-3]), are not topical...

3LT® is not excluded from the advancing medical technology that requires continual scientific evidence of the mechanism before we can thoroughly comprehend the magnitude of the neurological and physiological changes taking place. Nevertheless, 3LT® is one of the few devices that have published, peer-reviewed double blinded controlled studies dating back over twenty years and many “clinicians an...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Of the various physical interventions used to relieve the symptoms of osteoarthritis (OA), a common degenerative joint disease causing considerable pain and disability, low power laser therapy has been reported to be extremely successful in Russia and Eastern Europe. METHOD Although the overall number of studies was small, this literature review and analysis highlights ...

Low-power lasers are a group of lasers with a power less than 500 mW and unlike high-power lasers they have no effect on tissue temperature; they produce light-dependent chemical reactions in tissues. The purpose of this study was to review the clinical applications of these lasers and their success rate in different studies in orofacial pains. The articles with the key word “low level laser th...

background: acupuncture is an indispensable part of traditional chinese medicine for relief of pain. the purpose of this study was the immediate & latent of low power laser ga-al-as irradiation applied to acupuncture points on experimental pain threshold. methods: this quasi-experimental study was conducted on seventy adult women ranging from 20 to 40 years old assigned randomly into two groups...

It is the output power and density of the lasers which determine whether a laser is a low or high-power one. If the density is less than 670mW/cm2, the laser is called a low power one. The output power of these lasers is usually less than 250mW. They use different mechanisms to accelerate wound healing such as: cellular biostimulation, improvement of circulation, vasodilation, analgesic and ant...

We have characterised a dye-sensitised nanoporous nanocrystalline titania film used in prototype photoelectrochemical solar cell production. The film was sensitised with two types of ruthenium (II) based dyes for different times, between 0.5 and 24 hours. The penetration and coverage for each type of dye was studied using Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy (CLSM). Varying laser powers were appl...
