Safe Laser

Safe Laser is a unique Hungarian invention!

Soft laser therapy has been used effectively in medicine for more than 50 years.

The following therapeutic effects help cure nearly 100 diseases.

Pain relief

The analgesic effect of laser therapy is based on several biological processes:

1. it blocks the transmission of pain signals between the injured body part and the brain. It reduces nerve sensitivity and significantly reduces the sensation of pain.
2. reduces inflammation and swelling in the injured body part. These not only help to relieve pain but also promote healing.
3. Increases the production and release of endorphins and enkephalins, natural pain-relieving chemicals in the body, thereby reducing the sensation of pain.

Reduction of inflammation and swelling

Laser therapy dilates small arteries and lymphatic vessels. This increased vasodilatation allows the fluid that causes swelling (oedema) to be effectively removed from the damaged areas. The dilation of the lymphatic vessels also improves lymphatic circulation, which aids this vital healing process. This biological mechanism explains why bruising heals so quickly with laser therapy.

Faster healing of wounds and injuries

The soft laser has a so-called “biostimulatory” (stimulating) effect on the living organism. This means that cells and tissues are able to regenerate more quickly when illuminated by soft laser light (e.g. wound healing is accelerated). The laser light also increases cell metabolism and the formation of new cells, tissues and capillaries.
In summary: laser light stimulates the body’s ability to heal itself!

Laser therapy also stimulates the production of fibroblasts, which are necessary building blocks for collagen production. Collagen is an essential protein that is essential for the regeneration of old tissue and the healing of damaged tissue. Laser therapy is highly effective in the treatment of open wounds and burns because of its collagen production enhancing effect.

Excessive scar tissue formation is reduced

Laser therapy reduces excessive scar tissue formation (fibrous connective tissue) after cuts, burns and surgery by improving blood supply to the injured area, facilitating the efficient removal of waste products and therefore speeding up the healing process. Faster healing always results in less scar tissue formation.

Improved blood and lymph circulation

Soft laser therapy significantly promotes the formation of new capillaries (tiny blood vessels) in damaged tissue. More capillaries can deliver more blood to the damaged areas, which speeds up healing and regeneration processes, allowing wounds to heal faster and reducing scarring.

Laser radiation also has a profound effect on individual blood cells. Laser light significantly increases the oxygen and nutrient carrying capacity of red blood cells. This allows increased energy production, metabolism and thus regeneration of the cells and more efficient production of certain enzymes. The effects are felt throughout the body and not just in areas treated exclusively with laser light.

Improving neural function

1. After injury, laser therapy speeds up the regeneration of nerve connections, reducing the time it takes for nerves to heal.
2. It also increases the strength of signals transmitted through nerve fibres, which improves nerve and muscle function in general.

These two processes explain why laser therapy is so effective in relieving the symptoms of nerve injuries (sharp pain, numbness, tingling, burning sensations).

Improved immune processes

Photons from laser light are directly absorbed by chromophores (colour-carrying molecular enzymes in cells), which are found in most cells in our body. The absorption of laser light activates certain enzyme processes that trigger the production of ATP. ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the single most important form of energy that powers all chemical reactions in every cell of the body. The consequence of increased energy production is faster, more efficient functioning and regeneration, especially in immune system-specific cells. This increased efficiency helps the immune system to fight off unwanted microbes and pathogens.

What is a Safe Laser?

“Safe Laser” technology is the idea that a special scattering surface converts a parallel beam of laser light that is dangerous to the eye into a beam that is completely harmless to the eye.

Thanks to this new technology, these special soft lasers can now be used safely at home!

Safe Lasers have a new, special laser light source which, like other lasers, emits polarised, coherent, monochromatic light, but unlike conventional lasers, the light is not parallel and cannot be optically focused into a spot.

This new technology is called “Safe Laser“.

The damage to the eye is caused by the fact that the light that reaches the lens of the eye is focused by the lens into a smaller area and the resulting high power density can damage the eye.
The light from conventional lasers (near-parallel) can reach the lens of the eye even from a great distance and focus the eye into a spot. The resulting high power density can damage the eye.

The optics of the “Safe Laser” scatter the laser light by means of a lens exchange system.
This is followed by a secondary (tertiary) large scattering surface which ensures that the lens cannot focus the light into a spot. This spreads the light over a large area in the focal plane, so that no harmful power density is created.

Safe Laser devices are safe for the eye because the light exits from a relatively large scattering area, has a large spread, so the lens of the eye cannot focus on a small spot of light and therefore does not damage the optic nerve or the optic nerve.

Safe Laser devices are classified as Laser Safety Class I and II.

Safety laser glasses are not required.

However, the safety regulations for class I and II lasers must be observed!

SL500 Infra and SL1800 Infra = “Class 1” laser equipment,

SL150 = “Class 2” laser equipment,

in accordance with MSZ EN60825-1 “Radiation safety requirements for laser products”.

• For the classification, the requirements of the standard for scattered radiation were applied.
• Measurement and classification by Wigner Research Centre for Physics, Optical Laboratory (former KFKI-SZFKI)
• Do not look into the laser beam or direct it into the eyes of others.
• Do not point the laser beam at a reflecting surface.
• The 660 nm radiation emitted by the laser equipment (SL30 and SL150) is not dangerous to the eye because the eye’s automatic blink reflex (with a reaction time of 0.25s) provides protection. There is no need for protective equipment (e.g. goggles) if no optical device (e.g. converging lens) is inserted.
• The power density of the laser system (SL500 Infra), at the viewing distance defined by the standard, meets the conditions of laser class 1 and is safe for the eyes.
• The device must be kept out of the reach of children!
• The device should only be switched on when pointed at the target area!
• Do not use the device if it is damaged or malfunctioning!
• DO NOT disassemble the optics or switch on the optics if they are damaged!
• To avoid danger, servicing should only be carried out by the manufacturer.
• The user must use the device at his own risk. Neither the manufacturer nor the distributor is liable for any damage caused by improper use.
