The most prevalent method of indicating laser therapy dosage is to measure the density of energy applied to the tissue surface. This is typically expressed in J/cm2. Some variation in clinical effects can be observed; particularly at very high (>50W) or very low (<1 W) power settings using the same J/cm2 dose.
For this reason, the measurement technique works well for typical treatment protocols, but is not absolutely ideal. Companion Therapy provides a treatment guide with each device with recommended dosing for different clinical conditions. The calculators below can be used as a guide to assist in conversions.
