A tool designed to determine appropriate exposure times for low-level light therapy (LLLT) treatments is essential for optimizing therapeutic outcomes. This tool considers factors such as the power density and wavelength of the light source, as well as the targeted treatment area, to calculate the optimal duration for each session. For example, a tool might determine that a specific device with a power density of 50 mW/cm at 660 nm requires a 10-minute treatment time for a particular condition affecting a 10 cm area.
Accurate determination of treatment parameters is critical for ensuring both efficacy and safety. Historically, dosages have been largely based on empirical observations and clinical experience. A more precise and data-driven approach, however, reduces the risk of under- or overexposure, which can impact treatment results. Optimized treatment plans enhance therapeutic benefits, contributing to improved patient outcomes and the overall advancement of the field.
