HOW DO LOW LEVEL LASERS WORK?

Erchonia uses low level lasers in the visible light spectrum. The primary mechanism for the absorption of visible light photons is the elevation of electrons to higher energy levels. This is known as molecular excitement and can be explained deeper through visible/ UV Spectroscopy.

Visible light photons match the energy volt (eV) or frequency between the orbits of electrons to move the electron to a higher state (excite). It is in this excited state that chemical reactions of molecules occur. One of the most important chemical reactions is when photons of visible light energy strike certain atoms, that energy may push an electron to a higher energy level where it can be picked up by an electron acceptor. The electron transport chain uses the high-energy electrons to convert ADP into ATP. The electron transport chain (ETC) is the primary source of ATP production in the body and is vital for life!

Electron Transport Chain

The electron transport chain is a series of four protein complexes that couple redox reactions, creating an electrochemical gradient that leads to the creation of ATP in a complete system named oxidative phosphorylation. It occurs in mitochondria in both cellular respiration and photosynthesis.

This process can not happen with infrared lasers.

The electron flow starts at complexes 1, 2, 3 and 4 then makes ATP once it reaches complex 5 (known as ATP synthase). The electron flow is limited or completely blocked if there is a “kink” in the hose. The laser targets the complexes to unkink the hose.

Clinical Trials

Clinical trials depending on their scope can take years to conduct. Erchonia Corporation makes this investment, as clinical trials are the foundational component of 510(k) submissions. Not all clinical trials result in market clearance by the FDA and not all FDA clearance is dependent on the submitter’s clinical data; however; Erchonia is committed to advance Laser Healthcare™ through sponsored clinical trials as doing so ensures the protocols are developed by Erchonia, making Erchonia and the physicians working on our behalf, the most knowledgeable to teach the protocol and making protocols themselves and intellectual assets, patentable.
