The laser is dangerous if you look at it directly. However full laser safety precautions are taken during the operation. Everyone in the operating theatre has to wear special glasses during the laser phase of the procedure to be sure that there is no risk.

No. There are no known or recorded negative or dangerous effects associated with Low Level Laser Therapy. See similar questions...

No. Just use caution not to look directly into the laser's aperture. If you accidentally glance into the laser light, you will be fine; no harm will occur. Always follow directions and read warning stickers. See similar questions...

Your car is far more lethal, however, most people with any reasonable amount of caution seem to get by pretty well. Used properly and carefully, it is probably no more dangerous and far less than most home appliances. Probably the most prevalent danger is not the device itself but the user who tries to avoid surgery where only surgery is appropriate or effective, causing the problem to go untreated, resulting in death.

Laser therapy is effective in treating soft tissue injuries including many medical conditions, degenerative disorders, acute and chronic injuries or pain and wound healing. No one is too young or too old to receive treatment. Laser therapy is recommended for anyone who has pain due to aging or injuries, and anyone who has been or is currently involved with rehabilitation, physiotherapy, or sports medicine.

There are over 2500 research reports published documenting the effectiveness of LILT. The book "Low Level Laser Therapy: Clinical Practice and Scientific Background" is the most recent reference guide for literature documentation. The first systemic scientific research on the biological effects of low level laser was conducted by the late Professor Endre Mester of the Semmelweis Medical University in Budapest, Hungary, 1966.

NO. More than 2000 clinical studies have been conducted on the use of LILT and in all of these studies no mutational effects have ever been observed resulting from therapy with wavelengths in the red or near-infrared ranges in the doses used by laser therapy. See similar questions...

Laser therapy is a safe, effective, and commonly used treatment, providing optimal results in areas such as the removal of unwanted hair skin rejuvenation, wrinkle reduction, leg veins, or tattoos; and the treatment of acne. Lasers work by delivering an intense beam of light that is absorbed by the skin. This light is converted to heat and is absorbed by the cells being targeted, while leaving the surrounding tissue unaffected. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

Laser therapy is the use of monochromatic light emission from a low intensity laser diode (250 milliwatts or less) or an array of high intensity super luminous diodes (providing total optical power in the 1000-2000 milliwatt range). Conditions treated include musculoskeletal injuries, chronic and degenerative conditions and wounds. See similar questions...

Laser Therapy or "photobiomodulation", is the use of specific wavelengths of light (red and near infrared) to create therapeutic effects. These effects include improved healing time, pain reduction, increased circulation and decreased swelling. Laser therapy adds energy to living systems. While we are able to explain many of its molecular and biochemical effects, it also adds energy at atomic and subatomic levels. See similar questions...

Sun Valley LASER THERAPY, we use the BioFlex system. It is a highly sophisticated therapeutic system that combines the potential benefits of low intensity laser with super luminous diodes for the effective treatment of many medical disorders. Developed and engineered by Meditech International Incorporated, BioFlex represents the decade's most significant technological advancement in laser therapy. See similar questions...

Most of the patients as well as doctors confuse laser therapy with laser surgery. Both of them are branches of laser medicine. However, laser therapy is entirely different than laser surgery. It encompasses scientific use of healing properties of different laser beams in various diseases to enhance health and beauty. See similar questions...

LILT is the use of monochromatic light emission from a low intensity laser diode (250 milliwatts or less) or an array of high intensity, super luminous diodes (providing total optical power in the 1000-2000 milliwatt range) to treat musculoskeletal injuries, chronic and degenerative conditions and to heal wounds.

Endovenous laser therapy (EVLT) was FDA-approved in 2002. EVLT is a quick, minimally invasive laser treatment that requires no hospitalization and no complicated surgery. The entire procedure, start to finish, takes about one hour and causes minimal to no pain. Performed under ultrasound guidance, EVLT uses laser energy to treat the underlying cause of varicose veins by closing off the vein to any future blood flow. See similar questions...

These are 2 of the newer, less-invasive surgical procedures performed on the large varicose veins only. Although some doctors still perform VNUS Closure, most experienced vein specialists are gradually doing less of this and more of EVLR. These procedures are designed to be performed on the main veins, especially the Greater Saphenous Vein (GSB). See similar questions...

Genesis Laser Therapy is an innovative, technologically advanced way to promote vibrant, radiant and healthy looking skin. This treatment is a way to treat conditions that are commonly associated with premature aging such as sun damage, excessive redness, large pores, uneven skin tone and texture, and fine lines and wrinkles. This treatment also helps to stimulate new collagen production which results in firmer, smoother skin. See similar questions...
