“…Compared to LASERS the incident light of IPL is broadband and non‐coherent and therefore the results are the summation of wavelengths and not the transmission of individual wavelengths. However, the results are consistent with Ohshiro et al 35, Ryan and Smith 36, Stergioulas et al 17, Tumilty 18, and Vasseljen 19 whose studies suggest penetration depths of up to a few centimeters in tissue. However, they appear contrary to the mathematical models 28–30 and Esnof et al 31, Petti and Airakseinen 32, Lewi et al 33, and Tan et al 34 who concluded that 850, 632, 800–900, and 649 nm of LASER is not able to penetrate past the first few millimeters of skin.…”

“…In contrast, Ohshiro et al 35 found that considerable penetration depths of laser were achieved with the application of 830 nm laser to a radiographic phantom model of the head and neck (a multilayer model). Ryan and Smith 36 found an increase in the amount of transmission of 810 nm laser through the superifical flexor tendon of 17 equine forelimbs in vivo by clipping hair and treating the area with alcohol.…”

“…The laser array was applied to each area for 1 minute, delivering 25,000 mW/cm 2 to the overlying skin (private communication of unpublished experimental data from James Carroll of THOR Photomedicine) per day for five days. As light in the infrared spectrum is not absorbed by haemoglobin and can penetrate deep into living tissue, this delivered an appropriate energy density (2 to 8 J/cm 2 ) to the spinal cord (private communication of unpublished experimental data from James Carroll of THOR Photomedicine) (Oshiro and others , Vladimirov and others ). While they were hospitalised, all dogs were evaluated on a daily basis via physical and neurological examinations by the primary investigator.…”

“…We hypothesize that the use of diode laser for surgical excision of GCT may reduce the risk of recurrence. In fact, such laser has the ability to penetrate within the oral soft tissues from 0.27 mm up to 3.94 cm, and such effect might contribute to ablate possible cellular remnants of the tumor, which are believed to be the potential cause of recurrence [21]. However, our hypothesis is based only on the present case report, and, therefore, it does not have a scientific value.…”
