The Classifications of Q-Laser Products

From the Wikipedia article Laser Safety*:

"Laser safety is safe design, use and implementation of lasers to minimise the risk of laser accidents, especially those involving eye injuries. Since even relatively small amounts of laser light can lead to permanent eye injuries, the sale and usage of lasers is typically subject to government regulations.

"Moderate and high-power lasers are potentially hazardous because they can burn the retina of the eye, or even the skin. To control the risk of injury, various specifications, for example ANSI Z136 in the US and IEC 60825 internationally, define "classes" of laser depending on their power and wavelength. These regulations also prescribe required safety measures, such as labeling lasers with specific warnings, and wearing laser safety goggles when operating lasers."

Why buy from Integrated Laser Therapies...

We don't just sell these products, we use them

We thoroughly researched this market before we selected Q-Lasers for our clinic. We chose them for their quality, advanced technology, overall features, and reasonable price. We only started selling these products after they had proven themselves in our clinic.

Let us help you navigate the sea of misleading and inaccurate information that is commonplace in this market. Once you know all the facts, we think you will make the same decision we did.

We strive to ensure that the information that we pass to our customers meets "evidence-based" standards

We strive to provide our customers with the latest and most applicable information based on current worldwide clinical and laboratory research. We are members of NAALT (North American Association for Laser Therapy) and have been a multiple presenter at NAALT annual symposiums.

While cold laser therapy is a common practice in much of the world, it is considered a new, "unproven" modality by many alapathic professionals. We will use this Web site to communicate published, peer-reviewed research articles as well as our own experiences to help our customers separate fact from fancy.
