Unleash the Power: Why High-Power Lasers Outshine LLLT

LLLT (Low-Level Laser Therapy) and High Intensity Laser are two different types of laser treatments. LLLT uses low-energy lasers, usually of lower power, often in the range of laser power densities less than 0.5 watts per square centimeter. Class 4 lasers use high-power lasers, and the power density is usually greater than 0.5 watts per square centimeter.

Class 4 has several advantages over LLLT:

1. Deep treatment: Due to the high power of the high-energy laser, it can penetrate deeper tissue layers and treat deep lesions. This makes it more effective in surgical cutting, lesion excision, and deep tissue treatment.

2. Fast treatment: Due to the higher power of the high-power laser, it can complete the treatment process in a shorter time. In contrast, LLLT usually takes longer to produce therapeutic effects because it uses a lower-power laser.

3. Deep thermal effect: High-power lasers generate stronger thermal effects in tissues, which can be used for thermal therapy in deep tissues to promote blood circulation and tissue repair.

4. High power density: High-energy lasers usually have higher power density, which can deliver energy to the treatment area faster and improve the treatment effect.

5. Surgery and lesion resection: In some medical operations or lesion resection, class 4 laser can provide high-precision, non-invasive and blood-free treatment. It cuts and vaporizes tissue, reducing the risk of bleeding and surgical trauma.

While high-energy lasers have some advantages, they also have limitations, such as the potential for thermal injury during treatment, the need for stricter safety measures and equipment, and the smaller treatment area. Therefore, when choosing a laser treatment method, it is still necessary to determine the most suitable option according to the specific condition, treatment requirements and professional doctor's advice.
