Photobiomodulation Therapy

EMS DolorClast® High Power Laser

A Class IV near-infrared laser delivering targeted photobiomodulation for deep musculoskeletal pathologies — non-invasive, drug-free, and clinically proven.

905 nm wavelength 300 W peak power 100 ns pulse duration Penetrates up to 120 mm Class IV laser 15× more powerful than LLLT

Wavelength & therapeutic window

Why 905 nm?

Wavelengths between 650–1350 nm form the therapeutic window — the range where light penetrates tissue without excessive absorption by water, blood, or melanin. The DolorClast® uses 905 nm, the optimal point for deep tissue access and biological activation.

Low tissue absorption

Not absorbed by water, blood, or melanin — travels deep into tissue safely, even through oedema common in acute inflammation.

Nociceptor switch-off

After just 3 minutes of irradiation, 905 nm light reduces the firing rate of pain-signalling nociceptors for rapid, drug-free analgesia.

Deep pathology access

High peak power of 300 W combined with short 100 ns pulses drives light up to 120 mm into tissue — without thermal damage or burns.

Mechanism of action

Laser applied 905 nm · 300 W peak Deep penetration Up to 120 mm depth Mitochondria activated ATP ↑ · Circulation ↑ Analgesic effect Active in 5 min · lasts 72 hrs Anti-inflammatory PGE2 ↓ within 1 hour

Analgesic effect

  • Activates within 5 minutes of treatment
  • Lasts up to 72 hours post-session
  • Reduces nociceptor firing rate
  • No drugs · no systemic side effects

Anti-inflammatory effect

  • Reduces Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2)
  • Mimics NSAIDs without side effects
  • Accelerates oedema absorption
  • Kickstarts the tissue healing cascade

Clinical indications

Synergy with Shockwave Therapy — Guided DolorClast® Therapy

Laser pre-treatment 5 minutes before radial shockwave therapy allows up to 50% higher energy delivery. Waiting 60 minutes increases this to ~100%. Combined, the protocol produces outcomes significantly superior to either modality alone — making it the gold standard for complex musculoskeletal conditions.
