Class 4
ReGen Versus Asp_n®
Comparing the ReGen to other Class-4 Lasers
Our business was originally about educating consumers about PBMT but it slowly evolved into being the largest independent laser seller in the US. Because of our background, we spend a lot of time analyzing every system so that we call sell lasers based on specs and performance and not marketing claims. The table compares the spec and performance of the Biophotonica ReGen Laser to several major brands and it shows how the ReGen Laser is the better system. If you also add price into the analysis, it should be pretty obvious that the ReGen Laser crushes the competition by offering superior performance at a fraction of the price of other systems. The ReGen laser product line includes the dual wavelength 40 watt (ReGen Laser SD), a tril-wavelength 60 watt (ReGen Laser ST) and quad-wavelength 60.2 watt (ReGen Laser SQ). In the following table, we selected the most comparable version of the ReGen Laser.
Compare to LightForce , Klaser, Asp_n , Summus, Apollo.
| Specification | ReGen Laser ST | Asp_n® |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Diode Power (watts) | 60.3 | 30 |
| 2. Wavelengths (nm) | 810, 980, 650 | Mostly 980 |
| 3. Pulsing | Sweep, Single & CW | Single & CW Only |
| 4. Software Upgradable | Thru WiFi | Thru WiFi |
| 5. Pulsing Steps | Up to 12 | 1 Only |
| 6. Adapts for Patient Size and skin color | Yes | No |
| 7. Hand Free Option | No | No |
| 8. Deliver Rates | 0-60 j/sec CW, 0-54 j/sec pulse | 30 j/sec CW, 0-29.8 j/sec pulse |
| 9. Warranty | 5 Years | 2 Years |
| 10. Interchangeable Heads | 3 | None |
| 11. Estimated Prices | $17,950 | $25,000+ |
| Includes Custom Marketing Package | Yes | Yes |
| Includes Biophotonica® Training Package | Yes | No |
Notes:
1. This is the total power of the diodes in the system and does not mean it will 100% of that power. Look at the (8) delivery rate to see real world numbers.
2. This shows the wavelengths used and if the blend of the different wavelengths are independently adjustable. Some systems are a "fixed blend" of multi-wavelengths meaning that the owner does not have independent control of the each wavelength. 810nm is the best wavelength for a photo-chemical reaction. 980nm is mainly for pain and inflammation control but produces about 1/30th the photo-chemical reaction as 810nm (based on research) so we don't sell system that don't have any 810nm as these systems are more like a bandaid than a solution.
3. Systems with sweep pulsing will sweep through multiple pulsing frequencies in one program allowing the laser to optimized
to treat multiple symptoms in one program. Lower tech systems have just one "single" pulsing frequency per program.
4. Cloud connected system can be get software and protocol update over the internet. Laser therapy is still evolving so this allows some laser to continuously improve over time while non-cloud connected systems go obsolete.
5. Pulsing technology is rapidly changing. Better systems allow for multiple pulsing steps. For example, this can allow the same program to be optimized for both pain (step 1) and inflammation reduction (step 2) and so on.
6. Every book you read about PBM will state that dosage is based on condition, patient size and skin color. Darker and larger patients need a higher dosage. This is also just common sense. Better system follow the best practices.
7. Hands free systems allow practitioners to have the laser fully automated. The ReGen Laser has a Bluetooth remote so the patient can turn on and off the system themselves.
8. Delivery rate is really what you are paying for but some system claim high deliver rates but don't really deliver the marketed rate in most therapy sessions. Claiming high peak powers is a way to make the system seem like it is worth more than it really is.
9. Higher quality system have a better warranty typically maxing out at 5 years.
10. Interchangeable heads allow the owner to swap out the emitter for different applications, proving better results.
11. Some times, you are just paying excessively for a brand name. Some older brands charge outrageous prices without delivering any better performance or efficacy.
As you can see from the comparison table, the ReGen Laser offers superior performance at a fraction of the cost of a similar class-4 lasers. Both EVO and the competing manufacturers offer multiple models but in all the cases, the ReGen Laser offers superior performance at a much lower cost.
Conclusion: As you see in the table, the ReGen Laser follows all the best practices for PBM and laser therapy. Because it is a new design, it offers state-of-the-art performance compared to an Aspen and it offers all these upgrade for less money than a comparable Aspen.
