Low-level Laser Therapy (LLLT) utilizes wavelengths in a similar range as the James Webb Telescope's NIR Cam. It is star light indeed! These wavelengths used are able to penetrate skin, soft tissues, cartilages and bones. LLLT has been studied for several types of tissues and conditions, and there is evidence that it can:
✔️ Accelerate bone formation by increasing osteoblastic activity ✔️ Help relieve pain in chronic joint disorders like arthritis ✔️ Reduce inflammation and pain in activated achilles tendinitis, fibromyalgia and myofascial pain dysfunction syndrome ✔️ Improve functional mobility in stroke survivors ✔️ Enhance sports performance and post-workout recovery ✔️ Support recovery from skin disorders such as melasma, skin texture irregularities and dyspigmentation ✔️ Reduce itching and skin eruptions in dermatitis ✔️ Improve graft survival, wound healing process and decreases the rate of wound dehiscence in patients with deep burn ulcers ✔️ Reduce muscle fatigue and improves spastic muscle activity ✔️ Support treatment of periodontal healing ✔️ Useful for treatment of chronic tinnitus ✔️ Management of masticatory muscle pain (TMJ) ✔️ Reduce Chronic maxillary sinusitis and Allergic rhinitis (AR) symptoms
