Buddy,
Although I choose not to own an Erchonia laser, it is a fairly good laser, not the best, but fairly good. Your statement that it is nothing more than a laser pointer is an erroneous statement however. Most "Better" Therapeutic lasers do consist of an actual laser diode while "most" of the laser pointers you have compared them to are simple LEDs. This is similar to the power indicators on your stereo systems, and that is NOT at all a accurate comparison in all fairness.
LazrPulsr is an upper end therapeutic laser which is not only programmable by owner/user in 4 separate programs at once without accessories, but has many preprogrammed frequency programs that work very well- to begin working with - with minimal learning curve- which is quite a bit more complex and more involved, not to mention efficacious than any of the laser pointers I have used in the past. I can say that even some of the laser pointers have helped with headaches, and allergy elimination "tapping", but nothing so involved as with this unique compact laser that I'm now working with.
In all fairness, I feel that I need to set the record straight.... not to promote Erchonia, but to merely point out the error in your statement.
To further answer Steve's question, 5mw 635nm is one of the best of the cold lasers for penetration into the skin, and acupuncture points and meridians. That's why this specification is used.

Ask Erchonia what makes their 635 nm 5 mw laser any different, other than the $7000 price tag.Buddy
