Absolutely! They actually aren't laser beams at all, they're infra-red signals that are very similar to your TV remote. In fact, some programmable remotes can learn the IR signal from a Lazer Tag gun and be used to shoot the sensors. For this reason, don't let anyone bring a remote control to your Lazer Tag games. It's cheating.

You must provide safety goggles specifically designed to protect the employees' eyes from the specific intensity of light produced by the laser. The level of protection will vary according the level of radiation emitted by the laser. If your employees are exposed to laser beams, you must determine the maximum power density, or intensity, that the lasers can produce. Based on this knowledge, you must select lenses that will protect against this maximum intensity.

Yes! Laser hair therapy has been proven safe in over 2,500 scientific and medical papers over thirty years of research. Low level laser devices as tested by an FDA approved testing center has been proven 100% safer and meeting or exceeding all standards for this type of laser. The energy produced by the photons does not have the thermal component to cause thermal injury to either the user or operator.

Yes! When you come in for your initial consultation, we will show you a video of how the laser works. By understanding this technology you will realize that the treatments will not cause damage, but how we harness this light energy to healing, therapeutic treatments.

Everyone has the same reaction when they see our Faux Wood Beams for the first time. They have to touch one to "see" with their own hands that it is not real wood. Next they have to pick up the beam to see how light it is. Shocked, surprised, and delighted. They can't believe it.

For 35 years, the majority of Wharram designs have been designed in the two hull deck assembly as controlled flexible structures. In the early years I used rubber blocks on steel bolt mountings. In recent years, I have been using the high tensile strength and modern stretch characteristics of modern ropes. Using this method of lashing beams to the hull, fixed high stress points are reduced, the lashings show visible signs under stress and act as replaceable stress members and stress gauges.

Yes, laser and light-based treatments have been used for many years for a variety of medical and cosmetic procedures. Candela, the most trusted name in the industry, has pioneered the development of some of the safest and most effective technologies and products available on the market today.

You will be presentable at one to two weeks. You may put make-up on seven to nine days following laser surgery and resume most all daily activities. The lasered areas are quite pink and this pinkness lasts for eight to twelve weeks. You will look great at three months and even better at six months. Your final result is evaluated at one year. Cold sores are actually a viral infection.

There are possible risks with any surgical procedure. Serious complications with LASIK or PRK are extremely rare. The chance of having a vision-reducing complication from LASIK has been documented in clinical studies to be less than one percent. Many of the risks and complications associated with this procedure can be reduced or eliminated through careful patient selection and thorough pre-operative testing using the latest diagnostic technology.

Properly trained medical professionals have excellent safety records performing laser hair removal. Common sense will tell you that nonmedical personnel such as aestheticians, cosmetologists, or beauticians should not be performing these medical procedures. When inquiring about any type of medical procedure, it is always wise to carefully examine the qualifications, training and background of the person who will actually do your procedure.

Laserscope technology is FDA cleared for permanent hair including very fair skin and olive or African-American skin. Treatments are most effective on medium to dark hair on any skin type. Fine and light hair is very difficult to treat. Blond, red, white and gray hair cannot be treated.

Laser hair removal was pioneered after more than 30 years of laser research by physicians at the Massachusetts General Hospital's Wellman Laboratories, and has been shown through extensive clinical trials at more than 10 laser U.S. and Canadian laser research centers to provide safe and effective hair removal.

The procedure has proved quite safe thus far. There have been no reported cases of blindness in relation to either of the two most common procedures, PRK and LASIK. However, the FDA is aware of a few cases of severe eye injury requiring cornea transplant.

Laser destroys hair roots, which are active at the time of treatment, but do not remove hair shafts instantly. Hair shafts in the treated hair follicles will fall out mostly in the first week after treatment, with all the treated hairs falling out within 2-3 weeks. It is normal that some hairs in the treated areas may not fall within 2-3 weeks. These will be treated in the next session. These hairs, which are being shed, will come out on their own.

For the first several days, there is weeping and crusting of the treated area. After about a week, the skin stops weeping, and becomes a bright pink color, which then fades to light pink over the following weeks. At this point Dr. Dowden permits his patients to use makeup to camouflage the light pink color. After several months, the pink color is gone, and the skin color returns toward normal, or may be somewhat lighter than normal.

Laser eye surgery treats the cornea, the clear outer surface of the eye. So at Wilmer, we think a laser surgeon should be a corneal specialist, an expert who routinely performs corneal transplants, treats corneal abrasions and infections, performs corneal healing research, teaches other doctors about the cornea, and handles challenging cornea cases. A laser surgeon who is a corneal specialist will:
