DEPTH OF PENETRATION
LLLT passing through the skull with an 808 nm wavelength laser penetrated approximately 40 mm (1.6 inches) Lasers Surg Med. 2015 Apr;47(4):312–22.
808 nm laser produced 1 mW/cm2 was achieved at 3.4 cm (1.36 inches), but for 980 nm achieved only 2.2 cm (less than 1 inch). It was determined that 808 nm of light penetrates as much as 54% deeper than 980 nm light. Photomed Laser Surg. 2013 Apr;31(4):163–8.
