If you're exploring ways to support your wellness at home, you might have come across acupuncture cold lasers or red light acupuncture pens. These tools don’t use needles—they use a focused beam of red laser light instead. While we’re not medical professionals, we’ve been supplying these pens to clinics and individual users for years, and people often ask how they work and why they're becoming more popular.
Let’s break it down in simple terms:
What Cold Laser Acupuncture Actually Means
Cold laser acupuncture, sometimes just called laser acupuncture or low-level laser therapy (LLLT), uses a red light—specifically at a 635 nm wavelength—to target certain points on your body. These are usually the same points used in traditional acupuncture, but instead of inserting needles, you're using light.
There’s no heat involved. The term “cold laser” just means the light isn’t hot enough to burn you. Some people say it helps with soreness, tension, or swelling, especially in soft tissue areas. The prevailing theory is something called photobiomodulation—a process where light interacts with your cells to support natural recovery. If you're thinking about trying it for a specific issue, it’s always best to speak with your doctor, chiropractor or acupuncturist first.
Why This Pen Is a Great Option for Home Use
One of the most common things we hear from people—both individuals and professionals—is how much they appreciate the pen’s design.
Most laser pens often require you to hold down a button the entire time you use it, which can get uncomfortable after several minutes. Ours has a simple on/off switch at the back. You turn it on, aim the beam, and that’s it. No finger strain. No awkward handling.
“We love sending the laser pens home with patients… These pens have an on/off button that makes it so much easier to laser the points.”
It’s also pocket-sized and includes a pen clip, which makes it easy to keep nearby. You can use it during your regular routine or bring it with you when you travel. It’s powered by AAA batteries (included) and has an adjustable focus, so you can narrow or widen the beam depending on where you're aiming it.
Is It Safe?
This laser pen is rated Class 3R, which means it’s safe for general consumer use as long as you take some simple precautions. Like with any laser pointer, you shouldn’t shine it in your eyes or anyone else’s. At this power level, it takes several seconds of direct exposure into an eye to cause damage, but humans will blink or look away well before that time elapses. Used as directed, it’s a low-risk way to explore red light therapy at home.
