FAQ's

Do the lasers have other uses besides acupuncture?

Yes, with the different tips included, our lasers can provide treatment for wound healing, dental issues, skin issues and decrease inflammation.  

 

Which laser color is best for treatment? 

It depends on what specific ailment you are treating. Please see the How it works  page to see which lasers are recommended for which ailment. The red 635 nm laser is our most popular and covers the largest variety of treatments including all acupuncture points. The blue 450 nm laser is best used for skin and dental conditions, and the green 532 nm laser is best used for shallow acupuncture points.      

 

How do I use the pet laser tips? 

The provided tips are easily installed by pushing them firmly on the tip of the laser. The disposable tips can be placed on top of our Pet tips if sanitation is a concern. Instructional videos are provided in the How it Works section.  

Can I use the laser on myself as well?

Many of our users do use them on themselves as well as their pets.  There are lots of resources on acupuncture and cold laser therapy for humans that is easy to find.  We recommend checking out www.thelaserlift.com for helpful charts and information.    

  

What laser tip do I use to treat what?

The Pet Focus Tip is best to treat the acupuncture points and close to the joint capsule.  The Line Generator Tip is used to treat a larger area and is good to strengthen the area surrounding the injured area or for wound healing or skin issues.  The Dental Tip is used for shallow acupuncture points, such as inside of the ear, or for dental issues.  

 

Can I use the pet lasers alongside other forms of treatment?

Yes! The lasers often work best when supported by other treatments such as massage, stretching, and exercises.  Sometimes nutritional supplements may also be useful.  Please consult your veterinarian for treatment recommendations specific to your pet.    

 

What are some of the limitations of your acupuncture lasers?

Our lasers are completely safe and sanitary but are not as powerful as some other  lasers available.  Our lasers were designed to be effective for acupuncture (and scientifically proven to be so)  and can help other treatments.  We would not recommend using it solely for pain relief.   

 

What are the technical specifications of your pet lasers? 

The lasers we sell are all Class 3 A lasers with an output of 5mw.  Manufactured in the USA.   

 

What is the treatment time needed?

It really depends on your pet.  For example a Golden Retriever will most likely need more treatment time then a small dog or a cat.  It also depends on what you are treating.  For acupuncture points- we recommend starting with 2 min. Per treatment point.  For other treatments we recommend up to 5 min. per treatment, up to 3 times a day.  

 

Do I or pet need protective eyewear to use your product?

No, although we ask that you do not look directly into the laser or point it at anyone.  At around 700nm frequency the laser is infrared and is not visible with the naked eye and therefore more dangerous.  All of our lasers are under 700nm.  

 

Do I need to shave my pet for the acupuncture lasers to work? 

In most cases, no. Our patented tips can be touched directly to the skin and through the hair, therefore working better than other products that just scan over the top of the skin. We do recommend that you shave the area of use if you have a pet with black hair/ fur as light therapy doesn't penetrate it.    

 

Do I have to be a Vet to use the lasers? 

Although Vets can and do use our products, it is designed to be used as easily at home as well as in the vet clinic. Please see our How it Works page for additional information.  Often our products are used to continue laser treatment in a home setting.  

 

Does Laser Therapy Work? 

Yes! It has been around for years and is backed by many research studies.  Please see the research tab to view specific peer-reviewed academic studies.  All purchases are backed by a no questions asked, money back 30 day guarantee. 

 

Have you taken any COVID precautions?

Yes. Every package and products are treated in a UV sanitation device prior to being shipped. To clean the product, please use your choice of sanitary wipe.
