What Can I Expect from this Therapy?
In a nutshell, Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) causes tissues to heal faster – muscle, skin and nerve – 66% faster according to the above FDA study.
Specifically, LLLT works at the cell level. Human cells produce a chemical known as ATP (adenosine tri-phosphate) to run the body and heal tissue. All of our body’s activities result from the use of ATP, it’s like gasoline to a car. LLLT stimulates a micro-structure within the cells called the mitochondria (nicknamed the “powerhouse” because it produces ATP) to produce slightly higher amounts of ATP. Thus with more ATP at the cell level, tissues heal faster, and therefore relief comes quicker.
Erchonia FX405 Laser
Erchonia FX405 has an additional violet laser. In addition to the violet laser’s anti-bacterial and anti-microbial properties, it also produces more energy per photon which research shows that the combination of violet and red lasers results in greater pain relief. The violet laser also enhances reactive oxygen species (ROS), which plays an important role in facilitating pain and inflammation reduction.
Erchonia GVL
We are excited to bring you the latest advancement in laser technology through rigorous clinical research and engineering. The GVL was shown to be the most effective wavelength combination for the increase of ROM and decrease in pain in a single session. This is currently the first and only green wavelength laser FDA cleared for pain and inflammation.

Conditions and Symptoms
As is true of many alternative therapies, you may receive alternative benefits to being treated, in addition to what you wanted fixed in the first place.
This is because the ATP being produced is “systemic”, meaning although we’re focusing the laser on a particular area; the ATP is ultimately being sent throughout your entire body. The list of symptoms responding to LLLT is growing, and more valid research is being performed on a daily basis.
Number of Treatments Needed
In general 8-12 treatments are necessary to begin the healing process of tissue, although in some cases relief can begin immediately. Maximum treatment would be 1x per day per area, minimum would be 1x per week to still see results.
Multiple areas of complaint may be treated. This treatment cycle may need to be repeated, and eventually spread out.
