HIGH ENERGY LASER: THE MOST POWERFUL LASER DEVICES LASER

PAIN, REDUCES INFLAMMATION,
ACCELERATES LOCAL METABOLISM.
The interactions of the High Energy Laser Therapy with the tissue can be divided into four main categories, depending on the type of process, that follow the absorption and essentially depend on the wavelength, power density and timing of the emission modes (e.g. continuous, pulsed and super-pulsed) of the radiation used: I) Photophysical interactions: the laser's monochromaticity is used to excite the target chromophor (haemoglobin, myoglobin, water, etc.); II) Photochemical interactions: the absorption process is followed by a series of chemical reactions that alter the biological sub-layer; III) Photothermal interactions: due to the conversion of the energy using in heat; IV) Photomechanical interactions: focusing high power impulses on very small volumes allows obtaining real mechanical vibrations.
808, 980 and 1064 nm laser sources are absorbed in a different way 650 from each cellular layer. 810 HO All of them are the most 50% effective wavelenghts for 980 getting therapeutical results into the treatment Nd:Yag of human pathologies in terms of pain, inflammation of muscles, tendons HO Melanina and bone. The latest source is the 300 1000 LUNGHEZZA D’ONDA (nm) visible one which is working at 650 nm, like HeNe, and allows the operator to get in touch with cutis, but it is also and mainly used for making visible the laser beam.

CONTINUOUS,
PULSED AND SUPER PULSED EMISSION MODES
HIGH ENERGY L ASER
Continuous Emission For using the max output power, reducing applications times, getting warm effects over the affected area. Also, it is useful to use continuous emission mode while automatic scanning or static emission modes are performed over a large part of the body. Operator may adjust intensity from the lowest level to the highest level, both before starting treatment that during treatment, just in order to adapt intensity to the real feedback of the patient. Pulsed emission Pulsed emission or interrupted emission mode is performed for reducing thermal effects over the different cellular layers and delivering high energy power. Super Pulsed emission The Super Pulsed method produces a high level of light impulse for a very brief duration for each pulse width, which for the most part is athermic or almost athermic. The highest incidence of super pulsed emission mode allows to avoid thermal effect over the most superficial tissues, avoiding energy saturation and granting into the same time the deepest penetration for getting in touch with tendons, bone and bigger muscles. The high power emitted during each pulse (super pulsed) prevents, or however, reduces heat transfer to the surface tissues, thus preventing saturation and providing deep tissue penetration. Conditions being equal, the increase in intensity compared to continuous emission allows: ● deeper action ● more even distribution ● safer application Trigger Points Treatment of the trigger points is useful while a painful area is advisable, Generally over small areas of the body. Trigger points are available over the muscles, mainly over the body of the muscle. Usually, it is used super pulsed emission mode for treating trigger points, by trasnferring laser energy over each point for a short application time, in order to avoid dangerous energy density.
Application is manually made over each point.
The best optical way of each articulation is the part of the body where it is possible to find the lowest density, where the laser beam could penetrate at the best way. 21

Manual applications, automatic scanning applications with all the available laser sources of MLT series, with all the rest of the available features (such as continuous, pulsed and super pulsed modes, pre-set programs, memories, automatic calculations of application time or energy density, etc.), make MLT device the best choice into the laser field. Manual applications Also MLT offers to the operator manual applications. Of course, due to the high power of each available source, during manual applications it is advisable to use only pulsed and super pulsed modes, avoiding continuous mode which is suggested while automatic scanning applications are performed.
