Hi everyone. My name is David. I am a complete newbie looking into lasers to help me find the best lightwave frequency as part of an alternative therapeutic protocol.
I am not asking for anyone to stick their neck out and give medical advice, and I am aware of the legal ramifications of taking my health into my own hands, but have very good reasons for needing to do so.
I’m open to the idea of either purchasing a laser device or attempting to build one myself, but have no idea where to start? I doubt that I need more than a low power laser, since I do not wish to expose myself to anything aggressive or harmful.
I’ve been looking on Ebay, Etsy, Aliexpress and Temu after finding nothing of interest on Amazon, but I don’t know of any other reputable alternatives, so any suggestions for websites which ship to or are within the EU would be welcome.
I intend purchasing a 365nm UV flashlight in any case, due to the wide range of potential applications which I might find useful, but when I began looking for infrared spectrum lasers I quickly found myself out of my depth, since I had no idea which wavelength to choose, and those few available on Temu offered wavelengths I didn’t recognise at all.
One of the first therapeutic laser devices I came across on Aliexpress claimed to be a Terrahertz wave device, and these all seemed to be selling at exorbitant prices for what would be little more than a hair dryer if the Terrahertz claim turned out to be fictitious
, in addition to the fact that they were all mains powered, which would be inconvenient for me. From the little information I’ve managed to find online on the subject of Terrahertz frequency wavelengths, if genuine such a device might indeed be very useful to me, since it is considered very safe yet effective for therapeutic applications.
Someone on another website recommended a 5mW 635nm infrared or green laser. Would that be the right frequency and wavelength for this type of use?
Another recommendation was for a full spectrum light, but all I could find were plant grow lamps, and I don’t see how I could make use of those designs in this specific context?
What I need primarily is a laser which can penetrate deep into the body tissues without causing damage, and it only needs to affect a small area. But I don’t know whether the ability to produce localised heat would be an advantage in my use scenario, or whether the therapeutic effects would be produced just by using the most adequate infrared frequency, which need not necessarily produce heat?
I would appreciate any help or advice. I am based in Spain in the EU, so I need to keep the costs to a minimum, taking into account customs import duties etc. Thank you.
