Omega Laser Systems
UK-based low-level laser therapy manufacturer
About Omega
Omega Laser Systems Ltd is a UK-based manufacturer of low-level laser therapy equipment, founded in 1991. They produce Class 3B systems using GaAlAs (Gallium Aluminum Arsenide) lasers and superluminous LEDs.
Omega has historically focused on the smoking cessation market, though their equipment can be used for general pain management and wound healing applications. They claim presence in over 70 countries through a network of international agents.
Regulatory History
Omega has received FDA warnings for non-compliance with their 510(k) clearance requirements. Buyers should verify current FDA status before purchasing for use in the United States.
While the company claims FDA clearance for certain musculoskeletal pain indications (specifically shoulder tendonitis), the regulatory standing has been questioned. Health Canada and European certifications are also claimed.
Controllers
Omega systems are modular—you purchase a controller separately from emitter probes. Systems reportedly cost £4,000–£7,000 GBP before shipping, duties, and taxes.
Desktop unit with built-in beam tester. Nine pulsing frequencies (2.5Hz–10kHz). Battery operated.
Portable version in steel enclosure. Similar functionality to XP Clinic but lighter, with padded carry case.
Higher automation model with multi-pulse facility for setting three different pulsing rates in one treatment.
Emitter Probes
Omega offers a range of interchangeable probes sold separately from controllers. Power levels are relatively modest compared to modern systems.
660nm (50mW red), 820nm (50–200mW IR), 915nm (100mW). Basic pinpoint delivery.
5× 660nm (50mW each) or 5× 820nm (100–200mW each). Increased coverage area.
Multi-wavelength: 660nm, 810nm, 850nm, 880nm, 940nm.
Large LED clusters with mixed wavelengths for surface treatments.
Considerations
Maximum single-probe output of 200mW is low by current standards. Treatment times will be longer compared to higher-powered systems.
Controllers and probes sold separately. A complete system with multiple probes can add up quickly. Limited pricing transparency online.
As a UK company with regulatory compliance questions, US-based support and service may be limited. Verify local representation before purchasing.
Historically strongest in smoking cessation applications. May lack the depth of protocols and clinical support found with manufacturers focused on broader medical applications.
Claimed Applications
- Smoking cessation
- Addiction therapies
- Weight control
- Laser acupuncture
- Podiatry (ulcers, plantar fasciitis)
- Dentistry (TMJ, periodontics)
- Dermatology (acne, cold sores)
- Veterinary (equine, small animal)
Notable Features
XP Clinic includes a beam tester for verifying probe output—useful since you can't see infrared wavelengths.
Controller automatically identifies which probe is connected.
Excel model allows programming three different pulsing rates within a single treatment session.
