Frequently Asked Questions

Does the laser actually work?

The LTU-904 laser is only ONLY lymphoedema treatment that has been trialled in a randomised double blind study. The laser works very effectively in about 30% of patients and with some effect in about 50% of patients. The results are long term unlike most shorter term treatments available.

Will the laser burn me?

No, the LTU-904 laser is a Class 1 laser and it will not burn, or raise the skin temperature.

What about eye safety?

The LTU-904 is a Class 1 laser and there are no eye safety requirements. The LTU-904 is registered with the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration and meets all required standards.

How does the LTU-904 laser work?

The laser affects the individual cells and re-energises them to be more active. This new energy helps to break up fibrous tissue.

How does the LTU-904 hand-held differ from the scanning laser?

The hand-held unit is the same wavelength as the scanning laser. The scanning laser has not been trialled in a double blind trial, but it is reasonable to expect that it would be as effective as the hand-held laser. The scanning laser is much more expensive and treatment times are usually around 1 hour.

Do you have to be a therapist to use it?

No, anyone can use the LTU-904, however, we recommend that a therapist is consulted before and during the use of the laser. The are no State regulations that effect the use of the LTU-904.
