Abstract
An electromagnetic radiation therapy system comprises means for emitting divergent electromagnetic radiation having a wavelength between 950 and 1500 nm and being capable of producing, at the site being treated, a radiation intensity of at least 50 μWatts/cm2. Also disclosed are the use of the system for treating various conditions and the method of applying the treatment.
Claims27
A method for treating and/or improving herpetically infected body tissues, the method comprising:
- exposing the herpetically infected body tissue to divergent electromagnetic radiation at a wavelength restricted to a peak wavelength of 1072 nm so as to coincide with peak transmissions of a water molecule;
- and
- selecting a radiation intensity for the electromagnetic radiation capable of producing, at the site of the herpetically infected tissue, a radiation intensity of at least 50 μWatts/cm2 up to 2 Watts/cm2.
A method for treating and/or improving bacterially infected body tissues, the method comprising:
- exposing bacterially infected tissue to divergent electromagnetic radiation at a wavelength restricted to a peak wavelength of 1072 nm so as to coincide with peak transmissions of a water molecule;
- and
- selecting a radiation intensity for the electromagnetic radiation capable of producing, at the site of the tissue, a radiation intensity of at least 50 μWatts/cm2 up to 2 Watts/cm2.
A method for treating and/or improving bacterially infected body tissues, the method comprising:
- selecting a frequency of divergent electromagnetic radiation at a wavelength restricted to a peak wavelength of 1072 nm so as to coincide with peak transmissions of a water molecule;
- selecting a radiation intensity for the electromagnetic radiation capable of producing, at the site of the tissue, a radiation intensity of at least 50 μWatts/cm2 up to 2 Watts/cm2;
- and
- exposing the bacterially infected tissue to the selected electromagnetic radiation.
