The Erchonia Story: How a WWII Vet Began a Laser Therapy Revolution
How Laser Therapy Works.
Clinically proven. Scientifically precise. Patient-approved.
🎥 Watch the video below for a deeper look at the mechanism.
Erchonia’s low-level lasers use visible light wavelengths to trigger a photochemical response in the body—without heat, pain, or side effects.
This is not symptom masking. It’s cellular-level healing backed by 30 years of clinical research.
Why That Matters to Your Patients
ATP is the energy currency of every cell in the body. More ATP means:
⚕️ Faster recovery from injury
💪 Reduced inflammation and pain
⏱️ Quicker return to function
🔁 Better results with fewer treatments
Why That Matters to Your Practice
🧠 Evidence-based technology with multiple FDA clearances
🔄 Non-invasive, hands-free treatments = passive revenue
🌟 Trusted by top chiropractors, physicians, and therapists worldwide

🔬 How It Works (In Simple Terms)
Our lasers emit specific visible light photons that stimulate electron movement within cells.
This molecular excitation activates key biochemical reactions.
One of the most important: enhanced ATP production via the mitochondrial electron transport chain.
The Electron Transport Chain: The ATP Powerhouse
Inside your cells, the electron transport chain (ETC) is the engine that creates ATP — your body’s energy source.
It works like this:
-
A series of four protein complexes pass electrons along a chain (Complexes I–IV).
-
When the electrons reach Complex V (ATP Synthase), ATP is produced — the fuel your body uses for healing, repair, and function.
-
This process is called oxidative phosphorylation and happens in the mitochondria.
Why It Matters for Laser Therapy
❌ Infrared lasers can't activate this process.
✅ Only visible light lasers, like Erchonia’s, can directly stimulate the electron transport chain.
Think of it like a kinked hose:
When there’s a block in the chain, energy production slows.
Erchonia’s lasers help “unkink the hose” — allowing electrons to flow and ATP to be made efficiently.

Power & Penetration Myth
One of, if not the biggest, misconceptions in the world of laser therapy is that you need higher powered lasers using longer wavelengths to penetrate deeper into the body. The thought that more power means deeper penetration is not only a false claim backed by no research or any relevance to clinical data, but this concept can also be dangerous when used as a therapy without properly understanding how it works. So, let's dive "deeper" into the argument of more power, more penetration.

Clinical Trial Results
Erchonia has always used LEDs as the placebo device in our randomized, double-blind, multi-center, placebo-controlled clinical trials to prove the efficacy of true cold lasers over LEDs. Don't devalue your practice with cheap, at-home LEDs.

What Laser is Right for You?
1
XLR8
Dual Red Lasers (635nm)
Entry Level Laser
The revolutionary XLR8 handheld laser therapy device. This dual-diode work horse was the first to receive FDA clearance for chronic neck & shoulder pain and has stood as a pillar in laser therapy for 10+ years.
This is our most popular entry-level laser — New to laser therapy? Then the XLR8 is the laser for you!
Shown to stimulate complex 4.
2
EVRL
Violet & Red Laser
(405nm & 635nm)
Most Popular
The EVRL, since its release, has become our most popular handheld device by offering the versatility of a red and violet wavelength taking outcomes to a whole new level. By combining these two specific wavelengths into one treatment modality, patients received better results during clinical studies than using just 635nm alone. This device also has the unique ability for antibacterial & antimicrobial treatments. Experience the versatility of this incredible technology
Shown to stimulate complex 1, 2 & 4
3
GVL
(520nm & 405nm)
New Release
The GVL was shown to be the most effective wavelength combination for the increase of ROM and decrease in pain in a single session. This is currently the first and only green wavelength laser FDA cleared for chronic neck & shoulder pain. Unique to the green wavelength is the ability to affect complex 3 in the ETC. No other wavelength can impact this complex, and it is critical for moving to complex 4 to produce ATP.
Shown to stimulate complex 1, 2 & 3.
Take Your Clinic
to the Next Level
For optimal impact on the ETC, all three wavelengths are essential. Violet is crucial for affecting complexes 1 and 2, green is necessary for complex 3, and red is vital for complex 4. Therefore, to holistically support your patient's mitochondrial function, the integration of all three wavelengths is indispensable.
Infrared does not possess the requisite electron volts (eV) to influence any complex.
+ Can be customized to fit physician's needs with any combination of lasers.
+ Stimulates ALL complexes in the ETC.
