What to Look For When Choosing a Low Level Therapy Laser
Adding a laser to your practice or to your medicine cabinet is a significant investment. Make sure you consider all of your needs – everything you expect from your therapeutic laser.

A Laser Therapy SYSTEMBecause different conditions need different forms of energy, look for a system that combines multiple lasers offering both harmonizing/relaxing and stimulating levels of energy; multiple light wavelengths; and multiple modulation frequencies. And one that can keep pace as your needs evolve. |
Computer Controlled Output and Power DensityThe level of energy being delivered – the power density – should be precisely controlled regardless of battery level. This allows you to apply consistent doses of light energy from one treatment to the next. |
Soliton Wave Technology and Safe Power LevelsSoliton Wave Technology provides adequate depth of tissue penetration without resorting to high power densities. Ensure that the therapeutic energy gets to any point in the body while using completely safe energy levels. |
Portability and Ergonomic DesignA small, light, hand-held device ergonomically designed for comfort and ease of use will let you apply the laser light where you need it with a minimum of effort. Battery power will eliminate the cumbersome power cord, too. |
Support after the SaleDemand expertise and support to help you learn to use your new laser. Ask tough questions and expect good answers before you buy. If the vendor can't help you before the sale, they certainly won't be around after you buy. We often have people in our classes that have purchased their laser elsewhere. Unfortunately that vendor never provided enough information to help their customers use the product. Don't let this happen to you. |
ServiceLasers are sophisticated, complex pieces of electronic equipment and may from time to time need repair. To evaluate how a company stands by its products, look for a two-year warranty from the manufacturer (an extended warranty is even better). Foreign-made laser products may be difficult to get into the country and even more difficult to get repaired. Q-Lasers are all manufactured and serviced in the U.S. |
Fair PricingYou shouldn't expect to get a top-of-the-line laser product without making an investment. On the other hand, you also should not have to pay outrageous, five-figure prices for this technology. Look for a laser that offers everything above at a competitive price. |
