Simply, the light is a coherent wavelength of 635nm of RED light. It does not cause heat or ionize tissues. it is very safe and effective when used properly. The action on the cells is to reduce inflammation and scar tissue and promote the manufacturing of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). ATP is the 'currency' that all cells need for doing their work. If performance of tissues is required, it eats up a lot of ATP and so a body's response is dependent on the availability of this resource.
One of the most famous users of this technology has been Lance Armstrong during his Tour d'France string of victories. Erchonia is one of the leaders of this field of scientific application and holds 4 of the 7 patents in the USA.
