The Science Behind EVRL® Laser
While the benefits of Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) have been observed in hundreds of medical studies, the exact mechanisms that lead to these results are still being explored. Although we still have a lot to learn about the effects of light energy on different types of cells, the leading theory is that LLLT generates therapeutic effects through stimulating and enhancing specific biochemical processes within cells.
More specifically, utilising the first law in photochemistry (Grotthuss-Draper law), laser energy is transferred to cytochrome c oxidase (CcO) – a respiratory energy-transducing enzyme which is involved in the electron transport chain in mitochondria. This energy transfer causes photodissociation of inhibitory nitric oxide from CcO, leading to an enhancement of enzyme activity, electron transport, mitochondrial respiration, and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production. Consequently, by altering the cellular redox state, LLLT induces the activation of numerous intracellular signalling pathways, and alters the affinity of transcription factors concerned with cell proliferation, survival, repair, and regeneration.
Our lasers utilise true laser technology, optimising photonic energy delivery through the use of monochromatic, collimated, and coherent beams of light. That is, the light emitted by a true laser is composed from photons that have the same wavelength (monochromatic), travel in the same direction / do not disperse (collimated), and are in phase in space and time (coherent).
These lasers were specifically designed to deliver the optimal amount of energy required to stimulate and enhance cell function while not damaging cells or producing painful heat sensations – all of our non-thermal LLLT devices are classified as ‘Class II Lasers’ by the FDA in virtue of their low output and very low risk of hazard.

The Benefits of Low Level Laser Therapy
Clinical studies and trials of Laser Therapy technologies indicate the following beneficial effects of Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT).
Anti-Inflammation. LLLT creates an anti-edema effect by dilating blood vessels and activating the lymphatic drainage system (which drains swollen areas). This reduces swelling caused by trauma or inflammation.
Anti-Pain (Analgesic). LLLT exerts a very beneficial effect on pain in multiple ways: It partially blocks neural transmission of pain signals to the brain; It decreases nerve sensitivity; It lessens pain by reducing edema; It helps to increase the production of high levels of painkilling chemicals such as endorphins, enkephalins, and opioids from the brain and adrenal gland.
Accelerated Tissue Repair and Cell Growth. Photons of light from lasers penetrate deeply into tissues and accelerate cellular reproduction and growth. The laser light also increases the energy available to the cell by increasing ATP production so that the cell can take on nutrients faster and get rid of waste products. As a result of exposure to laser light, all cells, including the cells of tendons, ligaments, and muscles, are repaired faster.
Improved Vascular Activity. LLLT significantly increases the formation of new capillaries in damaged tissue, which speeds up the healing process, closes wounds more quickly, and reduces scarring. LLLT also causes vasodilation – an increase in the diameter of blood vessels – which improves the delivery of blood and healing elements to damaged tissues.
Increased Metabolic Activity. LLLT stimulates higher outputs of specific pro-healing enzymes in blood cells, along with improved oxygen and nutrient delivery.
Trigger Points and Acupuncture Points. LLLT stimulates muscle trigger points and acupuncture points on a non-invasive basis, providing musculoskeletal pain relief.
Reduced Fibrous Tissue Formation. LLLT reduces the formation of scar tissue following damage from cuts, scratches, burns, or surgery.
Improved Nerve Function. Slow recovery of nerves in damaged tissue results in impaired sensory and motor function. LLLT speeds up the process of axonal regeneration and nerve cell reconnection, and increases the amplitude of action potentials to optimize muscle action.
Immunoregulation. LLLT directly affects immunity status by stimulating the production of immunoglobulins and lymphocytes, and by improving the ease of penetration of white blood cells into damaged tissue.
Faster Wound Healing. LLLT stimulates fibroblast development in damaged tissue. Fibroblasts are the building blocks of collagen, which is the essential protein required to replace old tissue or repair tissue injuries. As a result, LLLT is effective on open wounds and burns.

Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ's
How does laser therapy work?
Low-Level Laser Therapy works by sending concentrated beams of light energy directly into cells, providing them with extra energy to enhance crucial processes. This boost in energy facilitates healing, alleviates pain, lessens inflammation, and restores normal function. The therapy employs two true laser beams: a red laser (635nm, 7.5mW output) promotes healing, and a violet laser (405nm, 5mW output) has an antimicrobial effect.
What are the benefits?
Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) boasts proven health benefits through clinical studies. It reduces inflammation, eases swelling by expanding blood vessels, and activating lymphatic drainage. LLLT acts as a pain reliever by blocking pain signals and reducing nerve sensitivity. Utilising light photons, it accelerates tissue repair, enhances cellular reproduction, and nutrient exchange. Increased vascular activity fosters new capillary formation, expediting healing and minimizing scarring. LLLT heightens metabolic activity, triggering pro-healing enzymes, and improving oxygen delivery. It aids in musculoskeletal pain relief, curtails fibrous tissue formation, enhances nerve function, supports swifter wound healing, and promotes overall well-being through immunoregulation.
What can laser help with?
Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) aids in various orthopedic issues, including sprains, whiplash, muscle pain, and conditions like cervical or lumbar radiculopathy, tendinitis, and carpal tunnel syndrome. It demonstrates positive effects in managing chronic conditions such as arthritis and osteoarthritis, and eases post-surgical pain. LLLT is beneficial for neuropathic pain, addressing neuralgia and diabetic neuropathy. Athletes in recovery can find relief through LLLT for pain management. Additionally, it shows promise in dealing with bacterial, fungal, or viral infections, showcasing its versatility in supporting overall well-being.
Who cannot use laser therapy?
There are no officially specified restrictions based on medical codes, but we advise against using Low-Level Laser Therapy on pregnant women, individuals with a pacemaker, or those with photosensitive epilepsy due to the lack of long-term evaluations on these specific conditions. Additionally, it's not recommended to use the device over an area where cancer is already known to be present.
Will laser therapy cause pain?
No. Low Level Laser Therapy is a true Non-Thermal Low-Level Laser and causes no pain or health risks.
How long is a treatment?
The Low Level Laser Therapy treatment sessions are up to 30 minutes long and are relaxing to administer.
