    Broadband polychromatic light (white light) and LED radiation can only penetrate 0.0017 mm to 5 mm of tissue. [25] For example, research shows that at wavelengths of 450 nm and 650 nm only 1% of the light reaches approximately 1.6 mm and very little reaches 5 mm. [ 26 ] [ 27 ] Only laser radiation can propagate into deeper tissues.
