Ukuqina kwamathambo kanye nekhono lomzimba lokwakha amathambo amasha kubalulekile kubantu abalulama ekulimaleni. Kubalulekile nakithi sonke njengoba siguga njengoba amathambo ethu evame ukuba buthakathaka ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, okwandisa ingozi yethu yokuphuka. Izinzuzo zokuphulukisa amathambo zokukhanya okubomvu nokwe-infrared ziqinisekisiwe kahle futhi ziboniswe ezifundweni eziningi zelebhu.
Ngo-2013, abacwaningi baseSão Paulo, eBrazil bafunda ngemiphumela yokukhanya okubomvu noku-infrared ekwelapheni kwamathambo egundane. Okokuqala, ingcezu yethambo yasikwa emlenzeni ongaphezulu (i-osteotomy) yamagundane angu-45, abe esehlukaniswa ngamaqembu amathathu: Iqembu 1 alitholanga ukukhanya, iqembu 2 lanikezwa ukukhanya okubomvu (660-690nm) kanti iqembu 3 lavezwa ukukhanya oku-infrared (790-830nm).
Ucwaningo luthole “ukwanda okukhulu kwezinga lokusatshalaliswa kwamaminerali (izinga elimpunga) kuwo womabili amaqembu aphathwe nge-laser ngemva kwezinsuku eziyi-7” futhi ngokuthakazelisayo, “ngemva kwezinsuku eziyi-14, yiqembu kuphela elaphathwa nge-laser therapy ku-infrared spectrum elabonisa ukuqina kwamathambo okuphezulu.”
Isiphetho socwaningo luka-2003: “Siphetha ngokuthi i-LLLT ibe nomthelela omuhle ekulungisweni kweziphambeko zamathambo ezifakwe ngethambo lezinkomo ezingaphili."
Isiphetho socwaningo lwango-2006: “Imiphumela yezifundo zethu kanye nezinye ikhombisa ukuthi ithambo elikhanyiswe kakhulu ngamaza e-infrared (IR) libonisa ukwanda kwe-osteoblastic, ukufakwa kwe-collagen, kanye nokwakheka kwethambo uma kuqhathaniswa nethambo elingakhanyiswe.”
Isiphetho socwaningo lwango-2008: “Ukusetshenziswa kobuchwepheshe be-laser kusetshenziswe ukuthuthukisa imiphumela yezokwelapha yokuhlinzwa kwamathambo nokukhuthaza isikhathi sokuphumula ngemva kokuhlinzwa kanye nokuphulukiswa okusheshayo.”
Ukwelashwa nge-infrared kanye nokukhanya okubomvu kungasetshenziswa ngokuphephile yiwo wonke umuntu ophula ithambo noma olimale nganoma yiluphi uhlobo ukuze kuthuthukiswe isivinini kanye nekhwalithi yokuphulukiswa.
