Low Level Lasers Dr. Kenneth Martin
What is a laser • L ight • A mplification (by) • S timulated • E mission (of) • R adiation
What Scientists say: Laser light is usually spatially coherent, which means that the light either is emitted in a narrow, low-divergence beam, or can be converted into one with the help of optical components such as lenses. What this means: A beam of light is divided into its different spectrums (like a rainbow) then concentrated into one beam. What is a laser beam?
Types of Lasers • High intensity (hot) lasers • Used for surgery • Can cut very fine areas • Usually bloodless • Can be used for industrial purposes • CO2, YAG, Argon
Types of Lasers • Low Level (Cold) lasers • Painless • Penetrate deep into tissues • Minimal precautions • Safe in doctors office • LED, Single beam, Multi-beam
Our brand of laser • Erchonia Laser • First with FDA approval • Used for research • Well documented results • Specific protocol • Time specific • Adjustable
