Understanding Power and Average Power
Power in laser therapy refers to the brightness of the light source and is measured in watts or milliwatts. Average power, not peak power, is critical because it measures the energy delivered to the tissues. A high peak power with low average power results in a low light dose. Therefore, when shopping for a laser, focus on the average power as it is most important.
