Effects of neodymium-yttrium-aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) pulsed high-intensity laser therapy on full thickness wound healing in an experimental animal model.

What the authors concluded

Statistically significant increases in the accumulation of collagen fibers, thickness of granulation tissue, and numbers of fibroblasts were observed in group 2 (treated with 1.6 J/cm2) as compared with the control (no laser treatment), group 1 (treated with 0.8 J/cm2), and group 3 (treated with 2.0 J/cm2)." Comment: It's a little bit confusing that there is so big difference between 1.6 J/cm2 a

Devices that emit this wavelength

Matched on wavelength within 15nm, since LED bins vary by roughly that much and a tighter match would be false precision. Where we have an irradiance figure, the session length is the time needed to reach this study's dose of 0.8 J/cm² at that intensity.

Matching a wavelength is not the same as reproducing a trial. Session times assume the device's published irradiance is accurate at the distance it was measured, which on brand-claim figures is often optimistic. Where a device publishes both a peak and an average we use the average, and where it publishes a falloff curve we use the lowest figure, so these times run long rather than short. Clinical protocols also control for spot size, contact and skin type in ways a home device cannot.
