| What is a Softlaser? | |||||||||||||||||||
| The Soflaser is a non-burning laser device used for Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT). In numerous studies, Softlasers have been proven to be effective in treating a number of conditions including acne, canker sores, cuts, bruises, wrinkles and fine lines. While Softlasers are new to the USA, they have been used widely in Europe for over 35 years, For more information about LLLT, please check www.laser.nu for the latest news and clinical trial data. | |||||||||||||||||||
| How do skin healing lasers work? | |||||||||||||||||||
| It works on principle of Bio-Stimulation. Basically, the Softlaser laser light stimulates the Mitochondria (the cell's powerhouse) in the cells to produce ATP. Increased ATP energizes the cell, making it reproduce faster which in turn, leads to more collagen production. The Softlaser light also promotes cell wall exchange, leading to increased blood circulation. Both effects lead to tighter, healthier skin and reduced healing times for conditions like acne or small cuts and insect bites. For more detailed information please check our "How it Works page. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Will the laser burn my skin? Does it hurt to use it? | |||||||||||||||||||
| No. The lasers are non-invasive and do not burn or cut your skin in any way. They are completely painless and safe to use | How long does it take to work? How soon will see results? | ||||||||||||||||||
| For anti-aging, results of using it everyday can be visible in a little as a week. However, everyone is different, so results will vary. Most everyone sees the rejuvenating effects within 2-3 weeks. For pimples or small cuts and bruises, increased healing times are noticeable in as little as a day. We are always interested in how well the Softlaser has worked for you. Please tell us about your Softlaser experience by emailing us at info@softlasers.com. | |||||||||||||||||||
| How often should I use it? | |||||||||||||||||||
| We recommend using your it everyday between 6 and 18 minutes, depending on the type of condition you are treating and the size of treatment area. In general, the larger the area, the longer the treatment times, but we usually recommend treating a 3-5 inch radius area for 6 minutes. For best results, use your Softlaser twice a day, once in the morning and again in the evening. We find that treating the skin twice a day is more effective than one long treatment because the cells can only absorb so much coherent laser energy light. After you have energized your skin cells in the morning, they slowly give off their energy during the day and therefore able to absorb more energy during an evening treatment. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Does the Softlaser work for acne? | |||||||||||||||||||
| Yes, Softlasers have been proved to be extremely effective for acne and pimples. Not only does Bio-Stimulation decrease acne healing times but the new, more energized cells are more sterile and less susceptible to infection. When using the Softlaser for acne it is important that your skin is clean and that you do not rub the laser against the skin while treating, as it will spread the bacteria around the treatment area. It is best to hold the laser about 1 cm above the skin. Some people find treatment easier when they hold laser directly to the skin, if this is the case, please put a piece of clean cellophane over the aperture of the laser during every treatment. The cellophane can be secured around the laser body with a rubber band. | |||||||||||||||||||
| What else can I use my Softlaser for? | |||||||||||||||||||
| While we make absolutely no medical claims in the U.S., clinical trials in Europe have proven the Softlaser to be highly effective as part of an overall treatment regime for conditions such us: Acne, Bruising, Ulcers, Eczema/Dermatitis, Psoriasis, Herpes/Cold Sores, Pressure, Sores, Blisters/Chapped Skin, Plantar Fascilitis, Sprains, Burns, Wrinkles, Spider, Veins, Tennis Elbow, Pain relief, Tendinitis, Arthritis, Gingivitis, dental Ulcer, Sinusitis/Rhinitis, and Stimulation of Acupuncture Points. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Can I use skin creams with your Softlaser? | |||||||||||||||||||
| Yes but it is best to use any cream or moisturizer after the laser treatment, as creams applied to the skin before using the laser can block the laser light penetration making the treatment less effective. Also, cream and jells can get trapped behind the laser lens making it impossible to clean. It is best always use the laser with clean skin, guaranteeing the most effective treatments | |||||||||||||||||||
| What type of lasers are used in the Softlaser? | |||||||||||||||||||
| The RED Softlasers use a 635-660nm 5mw Class 3a diode laser. The Ther Infrared Softlaser uses a 780nm 5mw Class 3a diode laser. | |||||||||||||||||||
| What is the difference between the Softlaser and a laser treatment performed at a doctor's office? | |||||||||||||||||||
| It uses LLLT Energy to stimulate a natural rejuvenation process, improving your skin's condition in a non irritating, non-invasive way. There is no irritation, redness or downtime from the treatment. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Does it work on darker / African American skin? | |||||||||||||||||||
| Yes. All skin colors receive the same rejuvenating effects of the Softlaser. However, in some cases longer periods of treatment time may be required for darker skin types. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Is the laser dangerous to use around my eyes? | |||||||||||||||||||
| No. Just use caution not to look directly into the laser's aperture. If you accidentally glance into the laser light no warm will occur. Always follow the directions and read all warning labels. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Are there any side effects to using the Laser? | |||||||||||||||||||
