There are many light emitting products on the market today claiming to be lasers that do not meet scientifically defined attributes for being a true laser. For example, Light Emitting Diodes, or LEDs, as they are called, do in fact produce light, however the light is not intense, producing very little energy and is non-coherent similar to light produced by common household light bulbs.

The Erchonia laser, however, is a cold laser with low energy that affects the cellular energy of the underlying tissue! Low-level lasers do not have a thermal effect on tissue; rather stimulate biological function and metabolic activity at the cellular level!

The Erchonia is safe, non-toxic and non-invasive. It has been used successfully to treat many conditions including: acute and chronic pain, repetitive use disorders like carpal tunnel syndrome, and soft tissue strains and sprains. Inflammation reduction, cell regeneration and even enhancement of tissue wound healing are other positive responses of cold laser! Treatment times vary from seconds to minutes depending on the patient's condition.

 

 

  Frequently Asked Questions
  Q: Are there any side effects?
  A:
There are over 1500 published studies and not one of them mentions any negative side effect of the semi-conductor diode lasers at the 5mW range like the Erchonia laser. Low-level lasers are safe, non-toxic and non-invasive.
  Q: What makes one laser different from another?
  A:
A laser can differ in its wavelength, power source, or whether it is a continuous or pulsed waveform. The first lasers were used to cut, cauterize or ablate tissue and were classified as “hot” lasers. “Cold”, Low Energy” or Low Level” lasers are used to enhance metabolic activity at the cellular level through non-thermal reactions.
  Q: How long are the treatments?
  A:
Treatment time can vary from seconds to minutes depending on the condition. Research studies show that there may be a dose dependent response, so it may be more effective to treat at lower does at multiple intervals than to treat a single time with a high dose.
  Q: What is the difference between Lasers and LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes)?
  A:
Lasers are monochromatic (single color wavelength), collimated (non-divergent) and coherent (wavelengths in-phase). In contrast, LEDs are neither coherent nor collimated, and generate a broader band of wavelengths (multiple). In addition, a significant difference between the two is the power output. The peak power output of lasers is measured in watts, while that of LEDs is measured in milliwatts. Also, LEDs usually have a 50% duty cycle, meaning that they are “on” 50% of the time and “off” 50% of the time regardless of what frequency (pulses per second) setting is used.
  Q: How long does a treatment last?
  A:
It varies depending upon the condition. For instance, an acute soft tissue injury or open wound may require multiple short treatments initially then the interval between treatments will lengthen as the condition improves.

  • Reduces Inflammation
  • No Known Negative Side Effects
  • Expected results within 2-3 weeks

The EVL Violet Laser System emits visible coherent light that is applied to the affected area.  Bundles of light energy pass through the dermal layers and are received within the cell membrane by specific energy photo acceptors.  The increase in intra-cellular energy results in altered cell membrane permeability, and physiological changes occur through an enzyme cascade to affect several biological processes.  Within the injured tissue, low-level laser light initiates increased microcirculation and enhanced tissue regeneration.
