Can you buy the machine- so you don't have ongoing costs of going to treatments.

Or have you tried Low Level laser or cold laser ?
- It's a light just like Anodyne {LEDs} but the laser light is more powerful and can go deeper into the tissues.

some of the FAQs from the site -
Q: Does LLLT cause a heating of the tissue?

A: Due to increased circulation there is usually an increase of 0.5-1 centigrades locally. The biological effects have nothing to do with heat. GaAlAs lasers in the 300-500 mW range will cause a noticable heat sensation, particularly in hairy areas and on sensitive tissues such as lips..


Q: Does it have to be a laser? Why not use monochromatic non coherent light?

A: Monochromatic non coherent light, such as light from LED's can be useful for superficial tissues such as wounds. In comparative studies, however, lasers have shown to be more effective than monochromatic non coherent light sources. Non coherent light will not be as effective in deeper areas.


Q: Does the coherence of the laser light disappear when entering the tissue?

A: No. The length of coherence, though, is shortened. Through interference between laser rays in the tissue, very small "islands" of more intense light, called speckles occur. These speckles will be created as deep as the light reaches in the tissue and within a speckle volume, the light is partially polarized. It is easy to show that speckles are formed rather deep down in tissue and the existence of real speckles prove that the light is coherent.
