Frequently Asked Questions
About LZR7™ Laser /Light Therapy
How effective is Laser /Light Therapy?
Laser therapy is a safe and effective solution to relieving pain and healing the body without invasive surgery or potentially harmful medications. Over 4,000 studies demonstrate the positive effects of laser therapy, and it’s earned approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat a range of conditions.
Why LZR7™?
The LZR7™ Laser System is a value priced light therapy device with dramatically higher performance than competitors. There are less expensive devices on the market, but they do not have the power, portability, versatility, or quality of the LZR7™. The LZR7™ is a true class Class 4 laser, depending on the probe that is utilized. Our most popular probes with therapists and doctors are our 4,000 mW clusters and it is the world’s most powerful cool laser. This cool power, with little to no heat, gives it a unique place in the market.
What are the basic specifications of LZR7™?
There are two control units. This is the box that drives the handpeices (probes):
1- The PowerMax Desktop (DT) has two channels so the clinician can treat two patients at once in a physical therapy suite or treat one patient with two probes with a total power of up to 8,000 mW!!1
2- The LZR7™ Portable (PT) is the most powerful portable on the market. It can drive up to 3,000 mW and weighs less than 3 pounds.
Why Buy a 4,000 mW Cluster Probe?
4,000 mW Cluster Probe: This is still the most powerful cool laser on the market. The most powerful competitive probe is 4,000 milliwatts. This is the probe for the practitioner that wants fast and effective results. Patients feel very fast relief from the most powerful cool laser on the market. And, for the practitioner wanting to treat patients with lightening fast speed, they can use two 4,000 mW probes simultaneously, with 8,000 mW!!
Why Buy a 500 mW Point Probe?
The 500mW point probe can be used for hand therapy, laser acupuncture, laser ear acupuncture, or treatment of tinnitus (ringing in the ears). The 500 mW point probe is the most powerful small tipped probe available. It is excellent for treating small joints in the hands and feet, and laser acupuncture points. The narrow, optional fine tip attachment is excellent for laser ear acupuncture, which is the most popular application for smoking cessation, weight loss, and a host of other maladies.
How Laser /Light Therapy Works
Depth of Penetration. Emitted photons (light particles) penetrate approximately 2-4 inches under the skin surface with some light penetrating up to 9 inches!

Special Advantages of the LZR7™
1- The LZR7™ is a true class 4 cool laser and does not produce any significant amount of heat, unlike other “hot” class IV laser.
2- Hot lasers can cause burns which exposes the doctor to liability.
3- It is 200 times more powerful than other at less the price.
4- Owning this product puts you ahead of your competitors. You can handle any patient that walks in the door. After all, what other modality can 5- treat RSD, sciatica, chronic pain, acute pain and nerve pain.
6-The LZR7™ is easy to use and safe for you and your staff. It requires minimal staff training with almost no worry of injury. The LZR7 rarely causes flare-ups
7-The cool, deep power of the laser is ideal for post-surgical conditions to reduce pain and inflammation and deep seated disk, joint, ligament, and bone disorders.
8-Joint replacements are becoming more common. If you have a laser, unlike with electrical stimulation or ultrasound, you can treat the area the day of or day after surgery and reduce healing time by 40%.
9- If the clinician needs to treat over gauze bandages, they will absorb about 75% of the photons. That is another reason to buy a powerful laser that will place them on the leading edge of joint replacement physical therapy.
10- Medical doctors, dentists, and podiatrists need someone to whom they can refer their chronic pain patients to for jaw, foot, and spine treatments.
11- The LZR7™ makes a therapist unique in their ability to treat chronic, neurological conditions.

13- Because of the portability it can be used for home health, shared in a large clinic, or taken into an athletic training room.
14- The LZR7™ does not produce any significant amount of heat, like other “hot” lasers. Hot lasers can cause burns and expose the clinician to liability.
How often should you use low level Laser /Light Therapy?
Acute conditions may require daily treatment, in particular if they are accompanied by significant pain. Chronic problems typically respond better when the treatments are received 2-3 times per week.
Does low level Laser /Light Therapy work?
Studies have shown that LLLT stimulated hair growth in both men and women. Studies with largest randomized controlled trials demonstrated statistically significant hair regrowth by terminal hair count in both males and females.
Who is not suitable for Laser?
Certain conditions, such as autoimmune diseases (e.g., lupus, rheumatoid arthritis), immunodeficiency states (e.g., HIV) and diabetes, and some medications (e.g., retinoic acid and steroids) may prevent proper healing after a refractive procedure.
Can you do Laser /Light Therapy everyday?
Acute conditions may be treated daily, particularly if they are accompanied by significant pain. More chronic problems respond better when treatments are received 2 to 3 times a week, tapering to once every week or two as improvement is seen.
How long does Laser Treatment last?
How long will the results of laser hair removal last? Most patients remain hair free for months or even years. When some of the hair regrows, it will likely be less noticeable. To keep the area free of hair, a patient may need maintenance laser treatments.
Should you ice after laser therapy?
Shortly after your treatment, you can reduce any swelling, redness, or irritation by icing the affected area with ice packs or cold compresses.
How long does low level Laser /Light Therapy last?
Laser treatment may last as little as 5 minutes, or as long as 20 minutes.
Are Lasers safe to use?
Laser treatment is extremely safe. Technological and medical advances in recent years have significantly lowered the chances of serious side effects. Unlike all other modalities, the safety of cool laser requires very little training and it is common to have an aid, nurse or assistant provide the treatment. In addition, it is safe over metal, plastic, glues, sutures, pacemakers, even spinal cord stimulators. Thus, it is an ideal modality for even very ill patients and exceptional for treating patients who have had joint replacements or heart surgery.
Is 4 Laser /Light Therapy sessions enough?
Generally, clients need about two to six laser treatments in order to completely get rid of hair. You can expect to see about a 10% to 25% reduction in hair after your first treatment. As you continue your treatments, more and more hair will fall out, and you’ll notice that it continues to grow back more slowly.
