The penetration depth

The penetration depth of laser light in biological tissue depends on the wavelength. Red and infrared laser light has the highest penetration depth, green and blue light develops its effects only on the surface areas.

500 mW Laser outcome Green Red Infrared
in 1mm depth 0,5 mW 50 mW 250mW
in 6mm depth 0,000000000000004 mW 0,0005 mW 0,8 mW

Laser power of different wavelengths in different tissue depths

500 mW Laser:


In 1mm depth


In 6mm depth
