Market Drivers of the Cold Laser Therapy Market

Cold laser therapy has diverse applications across multiple healthcare domains, spanning pain management, orthopedics, dermatology, and dentistry. Due to the rising prevalence of orthopedic conditions such as arthritis, musculoskeletal injuries, neuropathic pain, and chronic injuries, the utilization of cold laser therapy in healthcare institutions and homecare settings has increased. According to the data published by the World Health Organization (WHO), in February 2021, ~1.71 billion individuals worldwide suffered from musculoskeletal problems, with lower back pain being the most widespread musculoskeletal condition, affecting 568 million people globally. Cold laser therapy is a noninvasive and effective treatment to alleviate chronic back pain. A study, "Effectiveness of Low-Level Laser Therapy in Patients with Discogenic Lumbar Radiculopathy," published by Hindawi in February 2022, was carried out with 110 patients suffering from acute lower back pain and unilateral discogenic lumbar radiculopathy. Of the total patients, 55 patients were treated with LLLT combined with conventional physical therapy, while the other control group of 55 patients was treated with only conventional physical therapy. The study demonstrated that LLLT, as an adjunct therapy to conventional physical therapy, significantly improved local trunk movements, pain intensity, and related functional disability, as compared with conventional physical therapy alone in the treatment of discogenic lumbar radiculopathy.

Additionally, cold laser therapy is employed in dermatology and aesthetic medicine for noninvasive skin rejuvenation, anti-aging treatment, and improvement of skin texture. The most successful commercial use of LLLT is in managing androgenetic alopecia (AGA) for both men and women. A study, "Efficacy Assessment for Low-Level Laser Therapy in the Treatment of Androgenetic Alopecia," published by Springer Link in February 2022, was carried out on 1,383 patients using Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-cleared iHelmet (Slinph Technologies Co., Ltd, Shenzhen, China). The study showed that treatment with LLLT helmets was moderately effective for 51.9% of users with mild AGA and 57.4% with moderate-to-severe AGA. Therefore, the abovementioned factors contribute to the growing utilization of cold laser devices as a therapeutic modality in modern healthcare settings and are responsible for the cold laser therapy market growth.
