Research
Search 5,000+ peer-reviewed publications, articles, books, and videos on photobiomodulation. Filter by keyword to find what's relevant to your patient.
Training
A curated video library covering laser selection, theory of photobiomodulation, and proper application technique.
Protocols
A dynamic protocol generator that adapts to your laser's specs, the patient's condition, skin type, and size — then tells you exactly where and how long to treat.

Welcome to the Biophotonica training tool and protocol library
If you've ever tried to search for published information about cold laser therapies, you know it's a shot in the dark. Our research tool solves that. Just enter a keyword to see the best of 5,000 published resources — research papers, articles, books, and videos — showing the efficacy of cold lasers. We then use that published research, plus our protocol engine, to dynamically adapt protocols to each specific patient and laser system.
Create optimum cold laser protocols in 4 easy steps
1. Set Up
Create an account and select your laser system, patient type (humans, horses, dog or cat), and what action the system should take at the end of each treatment step.
2. Patient
Enter the patient's size and pigment (skin or fur color), choose a treatment goal (e.g. maximum pain relief), and select the condition you want to treat.
3. Review
Review the overall treatment plan and SOAP information. See the calculated optimum dosage for each point in the treatment process.
4. Treat
While looking at a full-color image of each treatment area, the timer tells you exactly when each point has reached its optimum energy dosage.
It's easy to get the optimum dosage — for any system, any patient, any condition, every time.
In October 1998, Jan Turner and Lars Hode published "It's All in the Parameters: A Critical Analysis of Some Well-Known Negative Studies on Low-Level Laser Therapy" in the Journal of Clinical Laser Medicine & Surgery. They found that studies with negative results were usually based on inappropriate dosages. The market is flooded with lasers from 1 mW to 60,000 mW, so it's easy to see how many studies and treatments end up using dosages that are too high or too low.
The Biophotonica system calculates the optimum energy for hundreds of unique therapies. Most cold laser manufacturers talk about delivering optimum energy, but they only publish a handful of protocols that don't adjust for real-world variation. Using seven variables — laser output, pulse rates, power level, patient type, skin pigment, patient size, treatment goal, and condition — the Optimum System calculates and controls the treatment plan.
Search the database for a symptom or body part to see a step-by-step process: treatment points, target energy levels, and treatment times. Set up the laser, press start, and the timer counts down until each point hits its optimum. When that happens, the system notifies the operator and moves on. The result: unprecedented accuracy and consistently great outcomes.
What is Laser-Therapy.US?
Laser-Therapy.US is a resource to help educate people about the underlying science of photobiomodulation. The research tool and the training tool (links at the top of the page) are available to everyone. The protocols based on these resources are for members only. To browse and compare cold lasers, we recommend shopping at ColdLasers.com and researching low-level lasers at ColdLasers.org.
