01
Device and dose must answer a clinical question
Photobiomodulation uses non-ionising light delivered with controlled parameters. At IMG Clinic, the LaserPen permits precise targeting, while the HILT system can scan a broader region according to tissue, depth and objective.
Laser is not presented as a universal solution. Its relevance depends on the indication, wavelength, delivered energy, treatment area, phase of the problem and the other elements of rehabilitation.
Any symptomatic change should be connected to function. Load management, movement, strength and appropriate advice remain necessary when they determine recovery.
02 · IMG CLINICAL REASONING
What is checked before application
The painful region, intended tissue target and medical context determine whether laser is reasonable.
Application mode
Choose LaserPen targeting or HILT scanning according to area, depth and objective.
Safety
Screen the eyes, sensation, photosensitising medicines, pregnancy, suspicious lesions and other contraindications.
Functional plan
Integrate the modality with relevant active or manual progression rather than use it in isolation.
03 · CLINICAL PATHWAY
How an application proceeds
Protection, dose and reassessment are integral to treatment.
Assess
Define the target, objective and a measurable starting point.
Protect
Use appropriate eye protection and secure the treatment area.
Dose
Apply suitable parameters with the selected device.
Reassess
Observe tolerance, clinical response and functional progression.
04 · INDICATIONS
Situations where it may be discussed
- Selected muscle or tendon pain after assessment
- Symptom support within selected rehabilitation
- Tissue recovery alongside appropriate progression
- Regions requiring precise targeting or controlled scanning
05 · FAQ
Therapeutic laser questions
01Is treatment painful?＋
It is generally well tolerated. Sensation depends on the device and parameters; any unusual response should be reported immediately.
02What is the difference between LaserPen and HILT?＋
LaserPen targets selected areas; the HILT system can scan a broader region. The choice depends on examination and objective.
03Does laser replace exercise?＋
Not when recovery requires progressive strength, control or loading. It then remains an adjunctive modality.
04How many sessions are needed?＋
The number cannot be set automatically. It depends on indication, dose, response and the overall plan.
