•
Photosensitive patients, or those taking
photosensitizing medications
•
Recent surgery or cryotherapy areas
and inflammation.
PRECAUTIONS AND WARNINGS
•
Some patients are more sensitive
to laser output (i.e., patients taking
medications orally or topically that
increase sensitivity to light) and may
experience a reaction similar to a heat
rash or skin burn.
•
Be sure to inspect the treatment area
during and following treatment, and
discontinue if an adverse reaction does
occur.
LASER THERAPY PARAMETER
DEFINITIONS
Continuous Mode
– The output of the
laser light is not interrupted during the
treatment time.
Dosage
– A measure of the intensity of the
laser light energy over the treatment area.
The unit of measure are Joules or
Joules/cm
2
/J/diode.
Energy
– Measured in Joules, energy
equals the treatment time multiplied
by the power. More importantly, Energy
Density equals the power output
multiplied by the treatment time, and
divided by the spot size (cm
2
). This gives
a more specific measurement of energy
delivered.
Frequency
– Determines the number of
laser pulses delivered per second during
a pulsed treatment and is measured in
Hz. Depending on the frequency selected,
this will determine the amount of pauses
between laser pulses.
Power
- A rate in which energy is
produced. For LLLT, it is measured in
Milliwatts or Watts. Higher power levels
result in reduced treatment times and
deeper penetration.
Power Density
- The average power per
unit area of the beam size. It is determined
by dividing the power level of the laster
by the area of the beam. The beam is
fixed and smaller areas will produce a
higher power density because the light is
concentrated over a smaller area.
Pulsed Mode
- Decreases the overall
power level proportional to the frequency
selected.
Beam Area (spot size)
– Area of the laser
beam when it leaves the face of the lens.
