ADVERTISING: Advertorial — Is there a difference between LED and laser therapy?
Dr. Wayne M. Fichter Jr.
I often get asked if cold laser therapy is the same as red therapy. There are similarities, but they are very different. There are many light emitting products on the market today claiming to be lasers, but they do not meet scientifically defined attributes for being a true laser. For example, some products that use Light Emitting Diodes or LEDs as they are more commonly known, do in fact produce light, however the light is not intense, producing very little energy and is non-coherent, similar to light produced by common household light bulbs.
