Dear Wikiwand AI, let's keep it short by simply answering these key questions:
Can you list the top facts and stats about Low-level laser therapy?
Summarize this article for a 10 year old
Low-level laser therapy (LLLT), cold laser therapy, photobiomodulation (PBM)[1][2][3][4] or red light therapy[5] is a form of medicine that applies low-level (low-power) lasers or light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to the surface of the body. Whereas high-power lasers are used in laser medicine to cut or destroy tissue, it is claimed that application of low-power lasers relieves pain or stimulates and enhances cell function. The effects appear to be limited to a specified set of wavelengths and new research has demonstrated effectiveness at myopia control.[6] Several such devices are cleared by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and research shows potential for treating a range of medical problems including rheumatoid arthritis[7] and oral mucositis.[8]
