What will be an ideal response?
The power used distinguishes the lasers used for surgical purposes from lasers used in physical therapy interventions. Surgical lasers use high power (> 60mW) and will cause thermal damage to the area of application. Low-level lasers used for wound healing and pain management use low power (< 1 mW) and do not have a thermal effect on the area of application.
