Abstract
This invention is a method of pre-treating a patient with low-level laser energy to reduce pain and swelling caused by subsequent injury, thereby speeding recuperation. The preferred embodiment applies low-level laser energy at about 635 nm prior to surgery. In a preferred embodiment prior to breast augmentation, 635 nm laser energy emitted from a laser source of less than 1 W is applied for about 3 minutes to the patient's breast prior to breast augmentation surgery. In an alternate embodiment, the same low-level laser energy is applied for about 4 minutes to the patient's breast after breast augmentation surgery, as well. The method is applicable to pre-disease states which are expected to be followed by injury.
