According to the current FDA standards, an FDA cleared cold lasers can be sold for 3 main issues:

• Pain Control
• Inflammation Reduction
• Increased Blood Flow

These are the main 3 benefits of a cold laser. Considering that 28% of Americans are in pain at any one time, it is no surprise that there is a wide range of cold lasers available for home and office use. The underlying technology is based on using light to stimulate the cells into producing ATP, which is the food that cells need to repair damage.

Selecting the Best Cold Laser for Home Use

When it comes to choosing a cold laser for home use, there are several different factors that will have a big impact on your decision.

1. Are you treating a human or an animal? If you are only treating animals, you don't have to buy an FDA cleared laser (like the Laserex or VL560) but you do need to really understand the specifications of the device to make sure you are getting something that will work as well as an FDA cleared device and you are not just buying an expensive laser pointer. We test all the lasers we sell so they are all the highest quality.
2. What is your budget? When it comes to cold lasers, you get what you pay for. More expensive units have more flexibility, higher power levels and typically shorter therapy times. If you have an acute (recent) injury, the treatment time is not a big issue, but people with chronic injuries or problems that require treating a large surface area can accumulate a lot of treatment time. If you are doing your cold laser therapy every night while you watch your favorite shows, then the treatment time is not that important, and you can buy a less expensive device. Based on an average cost of $50/ cold laser treatments, many home users get a return on their investment in less than 1 year.
3. Have you tried cold laser therapy and achieved successful results? If not, you may want to try it before you buy and confirm that it does help with your specific issue. If you have tried it (or want to try it), write down the manufacturer of the equipment and the total dosage of the therapy session if possible so we can help you find the same or a similar model to the one that proved itself. Try a class 4 system if possible to make sure that you are not being treated with a super low power system (less than 100mW) like an Erchonia or Microlight that might take months worth of treatments to see results.
4. How important is safety. Lasers come in classes from 1 to 4. The laser class is based on the ability of the device to do eye damage. Class 4 lasers can do immediate damage to the eye if used improperly and in rare cases, they can heat up tissue if misused. Class I cold lasers are the safest. Keep in mind that class 1m lasers are much more powerful than a class 1 or 2 systems. "M" class lasers can be up to 500mW of equivalent power (the same as class 3b) but they cannot do eye damage unless the energy is focused thought optics. If you wear the laser safety glasses (included with every system we sell) , the possibility of eye damage is negligible.

Technical Factors In Selecting a Home System

1. Do you have a preference about the wavelength of the device? 70% of cold lasers operate in the 800nm to 860nm wavelength for therapeutic treatments. There is some research that indicates 810nm is most effective for rebuilding deep tissue, so the Chattanooga, Avant, PowerMedic, 3b Scientific or EVOlaser 810nm systems are great options. There are also several manufacturers (Like Erchonia and Aura) that claim the best results are in the 600 to 680nm wavelength range. There are several top brands (TerraQuant, Thor, K-laser and Avant) that operate in multiple wavelengths. Avant is the best multi-wavelength class 3b system.

2. Do you want pulsed, continuous or both types of waves? 80% of the manufacturers offer pulsed waves and these manufacturers typically advise people to use pulsing for better long-term healing. Pulsing the lasers can allow for higher peak power levels while still being safe. On the other side, continuous wave lasers allow for higher dosages in the same treatment time and they allow for saturation of a damaged area with photons. Apollo lasers are continuous wave only. Terraquant systems and PowerMedic are pulsing only. All the other systems on this site offer both. Research shows that continuous wave (CW) is best for nervous system damage like neuropathies, while pulsing is best for most other applications. If possible, it is best to buy a laser that does both pulsing and continuous.

3. How much power do you need? One of the biggest debates in the industry is about power requirements, and there is no one right answer. In general, more power = shorter treatment times or higher dosages in the same treatment times. If the power is too low, the treatment might never get enough energy into the tissue to have a big impact. Longer, lower power-level treatments can often get the job done for minor problems. The exception is super low power-level devices (less than 100mW) like you find on Ebay and Amazon. A class 4 laser system will deliver 100 to times more power. Higher power equipment gives users the chance to excite more cells in the target area. Power is especially critical in treating deep damage like in neuropathy and large damaged areas like hips.

• Imbedded Electronics: Avoid using the laser directly over Pacemakers and other electronics
• Cancer: Do not use the laser over any known primary or secondary lesions.
• Thyroid: Laser should not be used over the thyroid gland as it might change thyroid production.
• Pregnancy: Cold laser therapy is typically not recommended for use over the pregnant uterus to avoid any risk or liability.
• Pins, Metal Plates and Plastics are NOT Contraindicated: Laser may be safely used over stitches, as well as metal implants, pins, plates and plastics.
  
  

Conclusions

Selecting the best cold laser for home use is not as hard as it seems. If you have the budget, the Avant LZ30 is a great class 3b and the EVOlaser 810 9-watt is a great class 4 system. They are both amazing products. If safety is the highest priority or you want something over-the-counter, the family of TerraQuant products offer great performance for less money.

Try to stay away from products based on pseudo-science and magic (quantum waves, soliton wave, zero point energy, scalar waves) and check the laser specifications to avoid buying something that is actually LED or too low power to have much impact. Avoid the fringe manufacturers and stick to products based on photobiomodulation and you will get the same results at home that you get in the doctor's office.

Chronic pain can be extremely debilitating, affecting every aspect of a person's quality of life. In the United States, nearly 100 million people suffer from chronic pain. And the problem is only getting worse. A recent study found that the number of adults with chronic pain has steadily increased by 10 percent in the last decade.

The most common treatment for chronic pain is prescription medication, typically opioid drugs like oxycodone (Percocet) and hydrocodone (Lortab). But these drugs have serious risks, including addiction, overdose, and death. In fact, synthetic opioids were involved in more than 71,000 deaths in alone. That's why more and more people are looking for safe and effective alternatives to drugs for pain relief.

If you're looking for a non-invasive, painless, and drug-free way to treat your pain, cold laser therapy may be worth considering. But with so many devices on the market, it can be hard to know where to start. That's why we've done the research for you to find the best cold laser therapy devices on the market today!

What is Cold Laser Therapy?

You may have heard of cold laser therapy, also known as low level laser therapy (LLLT). Cold laser therapy is an FDA-cleared medical treatment that uses low levels of laser light to relieve chronic pain and promote healing.

Unlike other forms of laser therapy, cold lasers do not produce heat, so there is no risk of burns or tissue damage. It is called “cold laser” not because it is cold, but rather because it is not hot! (A little tricky, I know.) Cold laser therapy effectively treats numerous conditions, including neck pain, shoulder pain, back pain, joint pain, and carpal tunnel syndrome. 

Wavelengths

• The 650 nm wavelength is a commonly used wavelength in cold laser therapy. This wavelength has a lower absorption rate in tissues than the 808 nm wavelength, which means that it can penetrate less deeply but can be more easily absorbed by cells and tissues closer to the skin surface. The 650 nm wavelength can stimulate the production of collagen, a protein that is essential for healthy skin, bones, and other connective tissues. It can also increase blood flow and oxygenation to the tissues, which can promote healing and reduce inflammation. Additionally, the 650 nm wavelength has been shown to have pain-relieving effects by stimulating the production of endorphins, natural painkillers that are produced by the body. Overall, the 650 nm wavelength is beneficial in cold laser therapy due to its ability to promote collagen production, increase blood flow, and provide pain relief.
• The 808 nm wavelength is often used in cold laser therapy because it has a high absorption rate in water and melanin, which are common components of human tissues. This means that the laser energy can penetrate deeply into the tissues without being absorbed or scattered by the skin, allowing it to reach the affected area more effectively. Furthermore, the 808 nm wavelength can stimulate the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a molecule that is essential for cellular energy production and metabolism. This can help to promote tissue repair and regeneration, reduce inflammation and swelling, and alleviate pain. Overall, the 808 nm wavelength is a popular choice for cold laser therapy due to its ability to penetrate deeply and stimulate cellular energy production.
• The 850 nm wavelength is another commonly used wavelength in cold laser therapy. This wavelength has a higher absorption rate in water and hemoglobin, which are common components of blood vessels, making it effective in promoting blood flow and oxygenation to the tissues. The 850 nm wavelength can also penetrate deeply into the tissues, allowing it to reach areas that are deeper within the body. It has been shown to stimulate the production of nitric oxide, a molecule that plays a critical role in promoting vasodilation (the widening of blood vessels), reducing inflammation, and improving tissue repair and regeneration. Moreover, the 850 nm wavelength can help to relieve pain by blocking pain signals and reducing nerve sensitivity. It has also been found to promote the production of growth factors that can aid in tissue repair and regeneration. Overall, the 850 nm wavelength is beneficial in cold laser therapy due to its ability to promote blood flow, reduce inflammation, and provide pain relief. It is particularly useful for treating deeper tissues and promoting tissue repair and regeneration.
