text: An important parameter to look for in a therapy laser is the ability to manually change treatment settings. You wouldn’t give a 90-year-old- woman the same adjustment as you would a 25-year-old collegiate athlete, so you wouldn’t give them the same laser treatment either.
  To provide the most effective dose of laser energy, you need the ability to adjust your settings for every condition. Other parameters you may alter during treatments include power, wavelength, and time. Be sure to understand the concept of target dose; for consistent results you need to administer the correct amount of energy per square centimeter of tissue area.
