Phototherapy is a physiotherapy method based on the therapeutic effects of light and specific color spectra. Light is capable of penetrating tissues and generating light energy within them. The primary radiation spectra used are visible, infrared, and ultraviolet. This light energy generated in the tissues can alter ongoing biochemical processes. The effect is achieved using low-intensity laser or LED radiation from various parts of the optical spectrum.<\/p>\n
In terms of its parameters, the device\u2019s wavelength spectrum is similar to sunlight, but it does not produce ultraviolet radiation. This is precisely why treatment occurs naturally through the activation of the human body\u2019s restorative and regenerative mechanisms. Upon contact with the skin, the light penetrates into its deeper layers, exerting a stimulating effect on cellular structure. This leads to the reflexive triggering of secondary physiological reactions throughout the entire body.<\/p>\n
Unlike other physiotherapy methods, phototherapy has no contraindications.<\/p>\n
Modern medicine favors two types of low-intensity emitters for phototherapy: laser and LED. Each has its own advantages.<\/p>\n
Where a narrow beam, high surface radiation density, and focusing of radiation into a small spot are required, lasers have no competitors. However, such a need arises quite rarely.<\/p>\n
LEDs also provide sufficient power for phototherapy and the required spectral bandwidth (which is 5 to 10 times wider than that of low-intensity lasers). In addition, LED equipment for phototherapy has two undeniable advantages: high reliability and low cost of consumables (lamps).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
