Apollo Cold Laser
Apollo Physical Therapy Laser Products was founded in 2006 by clinical practitioners and engineering professionals with 30 years of experience in developing and using advanced laser systems. Located near San Francisco, the company has grown to become a leading provider of cold laser therapy systems for pain and healing for a wide range of chronic and acute syndromes and diseases.
Apollo manufactures the most powerful, FDA and CE cleared, cold lasers on the market. Producing pure infrared laser energy, it provides rapid treatment times of two to four minutes. Phenomenal results are achieved quickly making for an efficient use of both practitioners' and patients' time.
The Apollo laser efficiently harnesses advanced Class 4 laser technology. Using Apollo's perfect marriage of power and wavelength, you are assured of fast, safe, comfortable treatments, exceptional clinical results and an impressive bottom line. And unlike hot Class 4 lasers, the Apollo is cool, safe and effective.
How does COLD Laser Therapy work?
Cold laser therapy is a form of phototherapy or light therapy. The cold laser device produces a beam of light, which is applied over the injured area to stimulate healing. There is no pain with the treatment.
When laser light is absorbed by a living tissue, it triggers biological reactions in the cells. Chemical substances are produced, released and carried by the blood and lymphatic flow to other parts of the system. In this way the effects of cold laser light may not be only local, but can also achieve wide systematic physiological responses: reduction in pain by causing production of natural pain killers endorphins. Reduction in inflammation by suppresing inflammatory enzymes that create swelling, redness, apin and heat. Enhanced lymphatic drainage, which increases circulation and speeds healing. Release of tight muscles that create chronic pain, joint problems and decreased mobility. Faster bone repair by stimulating fibroblastic and osteoblastic proliferation.
How is Apollo different from other lasers?
Apollo has created the most powerful cold laser therapy products available on the market today. With over 20 years of collaborative engineering and practitioner experience, Apollo provides you with the safest and most effective laser products you can buy.
Power is inversely proportional to the treatment time. This means that more powerful lasers require less treatment time. To relieve pain, the 3000mW laser can require 1-2 minutes and a 100mW laser requires 20 to 30 times that. This saves you time and anhances the patient experience.
Lightweight: The Apollo portable weights 1.13kg!
Choices: Our new product line features both a lightweight portable laser as well as the PowerMAX desktop

Versatility: Apollo has also created a 500mW laser probe for hand and other small areas. The 250mW with Fine-Tip is ideal for laser acupuncture. The Fine-Tip can be used only with the 500mW probe
Comparison between HOT, COLD and APOLLO therapeutic lasers:
Advantages HOT lasers:
- Very powerful lasers
- Production of heat, independent of laser stimulation, which is analgetic but it is a secondary effect that can be produced with other means of heat therapy much more economical
- Very effective if used properly
Disadvantages HOT lasers:
- Very expensive
- Can produce burns, eye damage, increase of symptoms, retard healing
- Need for keeping the probe moving which result in longer treatment times
Advantages COLD lasers:
- Less expensive from hot lasers
- Effective stimulating healing
- No side effects
Disadvantages COLD lasers:
- low power can be slow at redusing pain
- longer treatment times
Advantages of APOLLO lasers:
- Much less expensive than HOT and much more power than other COLD. Class 4 laser at a Class 3 laser price
- Same effectiveness at reducing pain as a HOT but with more safety and cost of a cold laser
- Portable and desktop units with maximum user friendliness and easy of application
- Low weight and small dimension. Can be placed at waist holder for full applications' portability
- 2 channel desktop unit that can treat two patients at the same time or one with 8000mW when using two 4000mW probes
- Almost impossible to cause burns, no worry about eye demage or injury and fast treatment times
- Multiple treatment probes for any type of condition
