It is important to point out that the Laser not only relieves pain, but it also treats the source of the problem in many cases.
Laser treats acute and long-term pain: rheumatism in the knees elbow, neck, lower back, upper back, ankles and fingers, orthopedic problems such as osteoarthritis, tennis elbow, muscle pain, sprains and tendonitis.
In the field of dermatology – sores that are hard to cure, including:
diabetic sores, burns, acne, and herpes simplex.
It can take between three days and three weeks to feel a change for the better. It varies from person to person, and depends on the severity of the problem! The majority respond to treatment positively in the first few days, but in some cases, like inflammation, a longer time and more patience is required. Most people start to feel better after the first or the second treatment.
Regarding the dosage: 6–8 minutes on each treatment point, twice a day should suffice to create the desired effect. In the user guide booklet that you will receive with the Laser device, there are specific instructions for every type of treatment.
On acute pain, you could stop the treatment and on chronic pain and inflammation, we recommend that you gradually reduce the treatment to once a day, and complete 30 days, in order to maintain the results and to prevent a recurrence of the pain and/or the inflammation.
Laser relieves the pain and may help treat the source of the problem itself.
Some of the physicians in the field are acquainted with the innovative Laser and/or the technology on which it is based, and are happy to recommend it. The technology has been in use for over 50 years, in a number of areas of medicine. There are orthopedic surgeons, and/or physiotherapists who are less up-to-date, or who will prefer to treat a patient with the “traditional” methods they studied – oral or injected medications, physiotherapy, and surgery. Also, some of them may not see any reason to “outsource” treatment to your “self-treatment” with Laser.
Clinical studies prove the positive impact of low level laser technology in the treatment of pain, orthopedic conditions, inflammation, sports injuries and wounds.
Over 2,000 publications – including more than 100 double-blind studies – have backed the efficacy of low level laser therapy.
Laser’s efficacy for the treatment of pain and wounds has been proven in five double blind clinical trials.
5 other clinical trials are in process.
A successful clinical trial* involving 90 patients, has shown that the efficacy of Laser was similar to that of pain relief medication.

Treatment with Laser is safe for daily use, with no side-effects. It is suitable for all ages, from children up to the elderly, in fact, for the whole family. The treatment is non-invasive, and does not involve pain.
There are no contra-indications with medication, or situations such as high blood pressure, heart problems, pacemakers, setting vertebrae by means of plates, or implants of joints (knee replacements). In the case of severe inflammation, there might be a stronger feeling of the joint, as part of the treatment of that inflammation. This will fade gradually, from the moment the inflammation passes, within a few days of treatment. In the case of inflammation, we recommend that treatment begin gradually (See User Guide or specifics).
On the first day, a minute and a half on each location, and then add one minute each day, until you reach the desired protocol of six minutes, twice daily.
