ABSTRACT:
A device for biostimulation of tissue is disclosed comprising an array of substantially monochromatic radiation sources of a plurality of wavelengths, preferably of at least three different wavelengths. The radiation sources are arranged within the array such that radiation of at least two different wavelengths passes directly or indirectly through a single point located within the treated tissue. The radiation sources are preferably laser diodes, superluminous diodes or similar light-emitting diodes that, while low-power radiation sources, can provide significant energy densities to a treatment area. A method of treatment of tissue comprising exposing the treated tissue to the above-described device is also disclosed. The device for biostimulation of tissue may be included within a system with a control panel, a power source, variable pulse frequency, variable pulse duration, a timer for timing the period of treatment, a device for measuring the conductivity of the treated tissue, a device for measuring the optical power emitted by the radiation sources and/or a device for detecting emissions from the radiation sources.
