Abstract: A method for treating at least one of Grade III capsular contracture and Grade IV capsular contracture in a mammalian subject includes positioning a laser device proximate to the subject. The method also includes applying low level near infrared radiation to an area of the subject proximate to tissue in the subject experiencing at least one of Grade III capsular contracture and Grade IV capsular contracture for treating the capsular contracture.

Abstract: The invention described provides a treatment for edema, lymphedema and extra-cellular fluid with Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT). The invention in particular will be effective in the treatment of lymphedema that includes the effects of lymph gland damage, disease or removal (LO) following surgery typically associated with cancer treatment or at least provides an alternative to other treatments. In particular the use of LLLT according to the method and apparatus of the invention can effectively treat LO and post surgery LO of a limb associated with the removal of a lymph gland. A method of treatment of the lymphatic system/lymphedema and edema in a mammalian subject includes the step of radiation of the surface of the skin of a mammal in the area of physiological-concern with a low-level infrared laser. The laser is a Class 1 laser arranged to emit a pulsed beam.
