Apollo Lasers

Since 2006, Apollo Lasers has been delivering some of the world's best and most powerful lasers. Their family of FDA-cleared lasers offer exceptional value in the Class 4 group of lasers. With a balance of power and safety, Apollo lasers are widely accepted as one of the standards for professional use. All Apollo lasers are built of heavy-duty aerospace quality aluminum construction for maximum durability in both office and clinical environments. With up to 5 watts (5,000 mW) of continuous power at 810 nm, these lasers were created to achieve optimum energy density in a very short period. Their 500 mW trigger point probe / emitter can deliver dosages up to 167.4 J/cm2 per minute, so it is perfect for acupuncturists and practitioners working with trigger point therapy or treating small areas of the face and hands. The larger Apollo probes can deliver up to 72 J/cm2 per minute in a treatment area of over 1 square inch.

All the Apollo cold lasers feature:

  • LCD display that provides probe status and treatment times
  • User controlled treatment times selectable between 10 seconds and 2 minutes
  • Built in safety and fault detection software
  • Built in probe tester to allow users to confirm the actual output of their probes
  • Advanced protocol training manuals
  • Key activated on/off power system
  • Standard 2 year warranty
  • Choose either the 500mW trigger point / small area probe or the broad area probes for working on deep tissue, joints and skeletal problems

Every system comes with a training DVD and protocol manual. After a quick review of the training literature, most users are experts in just a few therapy sessions.

Apollo lasers come in 3 different styles. The Desktop and Portable are both FDA-cleared and Health Canada-certified products. The Handheld does not have Health Canada certification.

Typical Battery Life for Portable Units

  1. 3000 mW probe ~ 30 2-minutes treatments
  2. 2000 mW probe ~ 60 2-minute treatments
  3. 500 mW probe ~ 120 2-minute treatments

On the manufacturer's website, they list photon densities and treatment times for a variety of emitters. Their smallest probe will achieve the higher densities faster than the larger probes so it is optimized for treating trigger points and small injuries, while their 2,000, 3,000 and 5,000 milliwatt 4-beam emitters are better for large damaged areas. Notes: Since each laser diode is 500mW, this is a Class 4 device. If the beams were limited to 450mW, this device would be a Class 3 laser. According to the manufacturer:

"Higher doses are more analgesic, lower doses more healing"

When you buy an Apollo cold laser, you can control the energy density by using different probes and treatment times to achieve your desired results.
