A hand-held laser light generator device includes a wand, a semiconductor diode laser for generating a beam of laser light, an optical arrangement, a housing having an interior chamber, a battery in the housing interior chamber, an electrical cord connecting the laser in the wand with the battery in the housing, an electronic timing circuit, a start switch and a selector knob. The wand, capable of being retained in a user's hand, is an elongated hollow tube and defines an interior cavity. The laser is mounted in the wand interior cavity and therewith is freely movable so as to enable the user to direct the beam of laser light onto a desired location. The optical arrangement mounted in the wand interior cavity receives and transforms the generated beam of laser light into a line of laser light. The electrical timing circuit is disposed in the housing interior chamber and mounted to the housing. The start switch is activatable between on and off positions while the selector knob has multiple period of time length setting positions. The start switch and selector knob are mounted to the housing and accessible at the exterior thereof and are in operable communication with the electrical timing circuit for controlling initiation of generation of and length of the period of time that the laser light beam is generated.
A laser needle device for acupuncture which is portable, relatively inexpensive and easy to use. The device includes a retractable ceramic needle and a self-contained laser source, which is powered by a self-contained battery. The ceramic needle engages the end of a hollow ray passage member that is contained in the conical distal end of an elongate case. Finger-generated depression of a button at the opposite end of the case generates a mechanical force, transmitted by intermediate elements, to ultimately urge spring-actuated downward movement of the ray passage member so that the needle tip emerges from an opening in the conical distal end of the case. The self-contained battery delivers power to a laser generating chip housed in the case when the downward movement of the intermediate elements complete an electrical circuit with two contacting terminals, simultaneous with the emergence of the needle tip, whereupon the chip generates a laser ray which passes through a lens, through the ray passage member and through the aperture of the needle.
The present invention relates to a method for improving the blood circulation of a human body by resonance, comprising the steps of: using an energy generating device to generate energy resonating with the body; and coupling the energy through a coupling device to the circulatory system of the body by functionally connecting the coupling device to the body and then activating the energy generating device.
An improved hand-held laser device that can simultaneously provide multiple types of low level laser therapy treatments. The device enables laser light of different pulse widths, different beam shapes and spot sizes to be applied externally to a patient's body. The device includes multiple laser sources. In the preferred embodiment, two semiconductor diode laser sources simultaneously provide two separate laser beams, one laser beam producing a line of continuous red laser light and the other producing a spot of pulsed laser light.
A lipoplasty method which includes applying laser energy to the adipose tissue externally through the skin at the same time suction is applied to the targeted tissue. The preferred method includes introducing a solution through an opening in the body to cause the solution to come into contact with adipocytes in the adipose tissue before or simultaneous with applying the laser energy. Optionally, the method can further include reducing inflammation by applying laser energy externally through the skin. Also optionally, the method can include reducing pain by applying laser energy externally through the skin.
An therapeutic laser device that incorporates a scanning head to direct low level laser light into a treatment zone that can have any desired shape or energy distribution within a hemisphere forward of the scanning head. The device enables laser light of different pulse widths, different beam shapes and different energy distributions to be applied externally to a patient's body.
