Ah, yes, the ubiquitous term in laser therapy discussions—power. We’ve all heard the comparisons: “100 times more powerful” or “10 times more potent.” But let’s break it down: power is essentially the number of photons a laser emits every second. Sounds impressive, right? But here’s the kicker: most of these conversations miss the mark on what power truly means and how less than crucial it is in laser therapy. To put it into perspective, imagine a laser operating at a wavelength of 630 nm and a power output of 5 mW. Now, let’s crunch some numbers to figure out how many photons this laser churns out every second. Using fundamental physics formulas, we determine that approximately 1.597×10^16 photons are emitted by the laser per second. That’s billions upon billions of photons buzzing around in just one second!
But here’s where it gets interesting: ramping up the power of a laser doesn’t necessarily mean better results. Why? Because no matter how impressive the photon count sounds, if the energy of those photons is too low to initiate the photochemical reaction, it’s all for naught. In essence, it’s not about “more power.” It’s about understanding the true essence of power in laser therapy—how it interacts with the body’s biology and quantum physics principles. After all, it only takes one photon to kickstart the photochemical reaction, rendering the notion of “more power” obsolete.
