Guest guest Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 the difference between the two is to do with light SOURCE - how/where the light is produced. LED stands for light emitting diode, the light is more spread out and not coherent. True laser-producet light coherent and therefore able to penetrate deeper into tissue (LED light tends to disperse sooner, as it is a bit “chaotic” if you see what I mean infrared and red are WAVELENGHTS (so are orange, blue, ultraviolet...) – both true lasers and LEDs are capable of emitting both... Lasers are more expensive. Most of so-called lasers out there (unless very very expensive) will have both lasers and LEDs on the paddle. One good example is this Q1000: “...It has 12 Laser Diodes and 8 Light Emitting Diodes (LEDS) with multiple wavelengths ranging from 470-940nm....” where they say ‘wavelengths’ you can insert ‘colours’, that is orange, red, infrared... the further explain the difference between LED and laser sources here: http://www.lightforhealth.co.uk/products/q1000/ hth Natasa Would/can someone help me with the difference. Will put on my Infrared light page. I think lasers are in a tube and from what I've read need to be higher levels to be effecive, otherwise, disperse.. I get the impression though that nearinfrared is a type of laser???? Do lasers use infrared light for example.. just differently? I still dont get cold laser and at this point just want to know if Dr. Cs LED is a type of cold laser (which I am getting I cannot obtain) and if there are others and what good they do if any if nor Dr. Cs? My sister's family have used a " laser " or near infrared (it was red) device at chiropractor that she said helped them immensely with pain and repair of injuries. Would love to know the similatities and differenes. I believe this device also operated on Nogier frequencies and sounds like the lightworks, but they called it a laser. ?? Thank you!!
