Aren high powered lasers potentially dangerous?
We believe ANY laser is potentially dangerous, more so if highly focused or spot focused like in some less powerful devices. Even a 5mW laser is extremely hazardous to the unprotected eye. Many laser combs based on low powered lasers actually need to focus their laser to a point, making this point extremely hazardous to the human eye – even from a long distance! That is why we developed the first hand held phototherapy devices (both laser and ultra violet) with patent pending proximity based safety technology that greatly reduces the change of accidental exposure. Our safety proximity detection is available in all Dermaray hand held devices but may be applied differently. We are genuinely concerned with your safety, and the safety of others around you. The requirement for increased user safety has always been our highest concern. We do not understand and can not believe that most other suppliers do not incorporate a single safety feature – the only possible reason is to keep their prod
