Cold Laser Therapy KENT

About the laser unit

 

The laser unit we use at CLT Kent was designed and built by

Omega Laser, the longest established UK low level laser manufacturer.

Omega’s equipment has been used by health care professionals across

the world for more than two decades and the company was involved in

much of the founding research work in the field of cold laser.

 

As an LLLT specialist, and a quality-approved company, all of Omega Laser Systems' products are designed to the highest standards with the clinical needs of the practitioner in mind. Omega's equipment is used in over 70 countries and its latest products are USA FDA cleared  and have all relevant European certification.

 

The lasers are produced with wavelengths under 1000nm utilising red light (600nm to 780nm) and Infrared (over 780nm):

• Red Light (Visible)

This is readily absorbed by the mitochondria (which produce the energy our different body cells need to function) and is therefore an excellent source of stimulation for a range of growth factors. Red Light does not penetrate very effectively below the skin surface and into the tissue below. It is best used  for wound healing or superficial conditions.

• Infrared (Invisible)

This light energy penetrates deeper through the tissue, so is effective through intact skin and for pain relief.

Synergistic effects are achievable through combining selected wavelengths in both the infrared and red light ranges.
