Therapeutic Wavelengths
Schraad Manufacturing offers an array of Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) wavelengths and all of these are specific for certain body areas and levels of tissue depth and absorption. Near Infrared wavelengths are often preferred for deeper tissue photobiomodulation treatments. A growing number of clinical studies show that mitochondrial dysfunction impairs osteogenesis, and that this organelle may be the target for new therapeutic options. Recent clinical studies illustrate that red and near-infrared light can affect the key cellular pathways of all life forms through interactions with Photoreceptor cells within the cells’ mitochondria.
1064nm INFRARED WAVELENGTH
Studies have shown that proper treatment at the 1064nm wavelength can effectively reduce pain, increase range-of-motions (ROM), increase functional scores, and increase the quality of life for knee osteoarthritis and spinal disorders, with limitations. The 1064 nm wavelength is considered the newest addition to the diode laser photobiomodulation therapy wavelengths and being. The 1064 nm HPL-PBMT effectively reduce pain, increase Range-of-Motion (ROM), increase functional scores, and increase the quality of life for knee osteoarthritis and some spinal disorders.
980nm INFRARED WAVELENGTH
Low-level exposure to 980 nm laser light can accelerate wound healing with significant cell recovery and can help to enhance natural cell growth and can aid in bone regeneration. An individual’s own body composition and absorption rate determines the speed of transportation, cellular regeneration, and the amount of absorption that is converted into heat. This heat establishes a foundation to begin a controlled thermal environment at the cellular level.
915nm INFRARED WAVELENGTH
The 915nm wavelength emits light in the near-infrared spectrum and is commonly used in medical therapy treatment due to its ability to penetrate the skin deeply while minimizing surface damage. Some of its benefits are pain management to relief pain by targeting inflammation and promoting tissue repair, physiotherapy help stimulate cellular metabolism and improve circulation, aiding in the healing process for injuries, skin rejuvenation, by targeting specific skin layers to promote collagen production and improve skin health.
810nm INFRARED WAVELENGTH
The 810nm wavelength, there are sufficient clinical trials that shows laser light therapy is ideal for lowering overall body pain, back pain, and helps in post-surgical recovery. Low wavelength red light produces a biochemical effect in cells to make more energy, which in turn helps cells work more efficiently to rejuvenate and repair damaged cells. Enhances exercise performance and improves recovery after workouts by improving biomarkers associated with muscle damage and inflammation.
650nm VISIBLE RED WAVELENGTH AT 2OOmw
The main benefit of the 660nm wavelength is it is readily absorbed by skin tissue leading to improved skin health and collagen production. Due to its low intensity, the therapeutic laser at 650nm serves a dual purpose of not only being the aiming beam, but also offers a very lower dose, in the Class Iib range of laser energy. This lower powered and lower wavelength helps in the stimulating effects of photo biomodulation.
