About This Service
Do not confuse the “pulsing” of continuous wave lasers with the super pulsed technology of Photonmedics lasers. Continuous wave “pulsing” is accomplished literally by “chopping the beam”, i.e., mechanically turning the laser on and off. This not only limits the power and depth of penetration offered by continuous wave lasers, it also encourages the body to adapt to its effects, limiting its treatment ability.
With Photonmedics technology, you can super pulse up to 200,000mW of peak power. The laser and electronic technologies required to use super pulsed diodes are more advanced and the diodes themselves are more expensive than the continuous wave diodes. This is probably why most lasers in the North American market are low powered Gallium Aluminum Arsenide continuous wave lasers.
Prevent tissue from adapting to treatment with our LaserSweep™ technology. The constant use of the same frequency, as found in duty cycle lasers, can cause the body’s tissue to adapt to the laser’s effects, thus limiting its therapeutic power. Therefore it is necessary to provide variable photobiostimulation to avoid tissue adaptation to the signaling frequency. The LaserSweep technology varies its frequency to prevent the tissue from adapting to frequency pulses.
LaserSweep™ is exclusive to Photonmedics Medical and utilizes a range of frequencies that “sweep” from highest to lowest (from the fixed end points) during treatments. By varying the “frequencies” each laser impulse effectively changes the laser’s target depth of penetration. It is, in essence, “scanning” the target tissue from superficial to deep. Changes in the frequency not only impact the depth of the energy, but also the rate at which the energy is delivered. The combination of the “variable” depth and dose rate reduces risk of biological adaptation to treatments.
The LaserStim™ is the first and only FDA-cleared device to combine neuroadaptive electrical stimulation and laser in a single emitter, which allows clinicians to quickly locate and automatically deliver the appropriate energy dose to the affected areas. The LaserStim’s™ Treatment Area Recognition and Guidance Enhanced Technology™ (TARGET) provides an interactive neural stimulation by constantly measuring electroconductivity of treated tissue.
TARGET™ technology benefits:
Wider list of applications than traditional modalities
Synergistic effect of Multi Radiance therapy provides benefits of light and neurostimulations
Faster temporary pain relief
Assists a clinician in identifying the optimal treatment locations
Constantly changing impulses, preventing accommodation of tissue to neurostimulation
Super pulsed infrared laser (905 nm) GaAS is the essential component of Photonmedics Medical technology. Photonmedics Medical super pulsed lasers deliver billionths-of-a-second pulses, combined with high peak power for a larger concentration of light energy, or photons, driven deeper into the target tissue.
Super pulsing allows for deeper penetration than a laser of the same wavelength that is not super pulsed but has the same average output power. This is because short pulses allow for quick absorption. In addition, the period between pulses promotes a better environment for optimal pain relief.
Super pulsed infrared laser penetrates deeply into target tissues and exerts powerful stimulating influences upon blood microcirculation. In general, laser diodes are either continuous wave or pulsed. The continuous wave diodes emit laser energy for the entire time they are electrically driven, hence the name. They provide a fixed level of power during emission. Super pulsed diodes emit a series (frequency) of radiation impulses with high amplitude in an extremely short duration (typically 100 to 200 nanoseconds). The mean output of power of a Photonmedics Medical super pulsed laser will increase as the pulse repetition is increased.
Each impulse of the super pulsed laser produces high peak power delivered for a very brief duration. It is the high power level during each pulse that creates the energy density necessary to deliver adequate doses to the target tissue. Therefore, the peak power of a pulsed laser is high compared to its average output power. By using super pulsed lasers, one is able to more effectively deliver higher densities of light energy into the tissue.
