Laser Lightforce Chattanooga 40 Watts
The LIGHTFORCE 40 Watts laser is a revolutionary therapeutic device using advanced, non-invasive class 4 technology (meaning it emits power greater than 500 mWatts) and emits light with wavelengths between 810 and 980 nanometers.
It is mandatory to wear protective glasses during the session, as the laser diode emits light that can harm the cornea.
It acts on deep tissues and is very effective against pain (e.g., following surgery to accelerate the healing process). Most patients describe an instant sensation of relief. It is indicated for all types of pain:
- Osteo-articular, vertebral, and peripheral
- Muscular, following trauma, or even during recovery after sports activities
- Nerve-related, including diabetic neuropathies.
The heat generated by the laser creates a thermal effect. This leads to the dilation of blood vessels (via the release of nitric oxide), which increases localized blood flow, enhances oxygen supply, and reduces inflammation by eliminating and evacuating metabolic waste.
By using focused light to stimulate a process called photobiomodulation (PBM), the laser photons are absorbed and penetrate the tissues, triggering a cascade of biological reactions:
- Absorption of photons by cellular chromophores, cytochrome C oxidase, and mitochondria (intracellular organelles that enable the cell to breathe and produce the energy it needs).
- ATP production, the cell’s energy molecule for healing and tissue regeneration.
- Modulation of gene expression, influencing genes responsible for the inflammatory response, cell proliferation, and collagen production.
Treatment Duration
Treatments last between 4 and 7 minutes, depending on the size and depth of the treated area and skin color.
Between 3 and 5 sessions can be performed, with intervals of one week or less, depending on the condition.
