Description

Laser therapy has been widely used in modern medicine. It allows, without applying to surgical intervention, to treat many ailments. With the help of laser devices, eyes, joints, veins, skin diseases (face, body), etc. are treated. Most often, red or infrared radiation is used.

Not everyone can visit medical institutions; portable devices come to their aid, which in terms of their power and principle of operation do not differ from stationary models, but allow them to undergo treatment at home.

In some cases (photodynamic therapy), laser devices are used to treat cancer patients. An intravenous injection of the drug into the body is carried out, followed by the operation of a laser beam on the affected area.

Criterias of choice

Tips on what to look for when buying:

1. Functional. Be sure to select a device with the function of treating your specific disease. Such information is indicated on the product packaging, as well as in the instructions for use. A device designed for the skin may not be suitable for the joints and vice versa. Treatment must be prescribed and supervised by a specialist.
2. Price. Budget models perform only one type of treatment, while more expensive ones have several nozzles and various modes of operation that cover a greater number of diseases. If you plan to use only for a specific disease for yourself, you can save. If you need to cure several different diseases, then buy a combined device.
3. Which company is better to buy. There is no single answer to this question. Buy based on your preferences, or you can look at the reviews of consumers who have previously purchased this product. Some popular models from well-known brands have the same functionality as lesser-known companies, but at the same time they are much more expensive. Overpaying for a brand in this case is definitely not worth it.
4. Power type. There are several options for the operation of the device: some work only from the network, it is inconvenient to take them with you on trips or outdoors. Others are battery-only (or conventional AA or AAA batteries) and are convenient to use anywhere, anytime. There is also a combined version that can work both from the mains and from the battery. Which one is better to buy, decide from the conditions of use of the device.
5. Where could I buy.You can buy such a device both in a medical equipment store and order it through an online store. Be sure to check the delivered goods (when ordering in the online store) with the description and photo on the website. Sometimes stores make mistakes and send not what you need.
6. Additional functions. Some devices have an LCD display, which displays all the main functions of the device necessary for operation. There are also models with a remote control that allows you to control the device from a distance, there are auto-off functions, etc. Of course, such models are much more expensive, but they make it easier to use the device in everyday life.
7. Age criteria. There is no separation of devices for children and adults, such a device is universal, however, only a specialist can determine the time and duration of the course, you should not self-medicate and treat a child on your own with this device.
