LLLT stands for Low Level Laser Therapy, which is the LED light used in the LTS device. It is also known as cold laser or therapeutic laser. This form of light therapy uses visible red or near-infrared LED light that penetrates tissue without heating it. It is used to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes.
Equine LTS and LED Light
• Equine LTS uses specially designed high-power LED light that is gentle yet effective.
• It stimulates blood circulation, reduces inflammation, and promotes the healing of muscles, tendons, and joints.
• Treatment time is 2–3 minutes.
Lasers Used by Veterinarians
• Veterinarians often use therapeutic lasers that also emit low-energy light.
• These are more concentrated than LED and have a shorter treatment time (seconds), but serve the same purpose: to accelerate healing, reduce pain, and improve tissue repair.
• Lasers usually require specific training to be used safely and correctly, while Equine LTS can be used safely without special training.
