About LASER NEEDLES

The LASERNEEDLE principle and the LASERNEEDLE technology was invented in 2000 by Dr.Schikora and coworkers at Paderborn University , Germany

LASER NEEDLES are non-invasive medical instruments. They dont puncture the skin, they are putted onto the skin.

LASER NEEDLES treatments are always pain-free and are felt by patients as pleasant stimulation.

LASER NEEDLE radiation is carefully selected and optimized, any damage in exposed tissue does not occur.

LASER NEEDLE radiation is supplied by optical fibres to the skin, it penetrates the skin and tissue without reflection losses and induces specific therapeutic effects.

LASER NEEDLES are light sources, which can be adapted to any morpholgy of the body, in particular of the joints and therefore, stimulate exactly and point- precise the target tissue.

The LASER NEEDLE therapies are free of side effects and safe for patients and therapists.

The Principle

LASER NEEDLES are new instruments in the medical laser therapy. For the first time, they allow to perform lasertherapeutic treatments exactly along 1-dimensional areas (like articular gaps) and to perform simultaneous optical stimulations of 10 different points on the skin. This cannot be done with any other lasertherapeutic device, which is available presently in the market. Laser needles emit moderate energy but stimulate the target issue with high optical irradiation. Due to their specific characteristics, laser needles induce verifiable physiologic effects, which cannot be reached by any other conventional laser therapy method. The localised irradiation guarantees that only the therapeutic relevant areal is irradiated, the surrounding tissue will not be exposed unnecessarily.

Like all laser therapy methods, the new laser needle micro therapy is a painless, non-invasive treatment procedure. The laser light is supplied by optical fibres to the laser needles, which are fixed onto the treatment area ( Joint gaps, Necrotic bones, Trigger point, Acupoints) by special applicators, but not pricked into the skin.

That contact application principle ensures that the irradiation into the tissue is point- precise. For the modern medical acupuncture a unique possibility results: laser needles can be used for simultaneous stimulation of any point combination on the body, on the head and in the ear. This is in full accordance with the tradition and rules of the classic acupuncture. Consequently, the classic acupuncture becomes a painless method by replacing the metal needles with laser needles. We have proved in various clinical studies1 that the efficiacy of laser needles is equivalent to metal needles and even better for various indications. For the modern laser therapy, the laser micro needle device offers a further specific and unique feature: “Laser shower” adapters can be configurated individually with red (660 nm), infrared (800 nm) and the new high power blue laser irradiation (405 nm) . The resulting additive reffects of that multicolor-irradiation result in a new therapeutic quality in dermatologic- and woundhealing treatments.


Basic cellular/vascular effectse

Physiological studies and Cell research studies performed at Univ.of Heidelberg (Germany), Medical Univ.of Graz (Austria) and MPI for Biophysics Frankfurt (Germany) are the basis of the therapies and have given some evicence of various effects of laser needle irradiation in the tissue:


  • regeneration of necrotic bone and cartilage tissue at cellular level
  • blue laser (405 nm) photoinduced anti- bacteriological effects
  • blue laser (405 nm) photoinduced immunological effects in dermal cells
  • reduction of inflammations
  • reduction of edema
  • stimulation of fibroblast cells in wound healing processes
  • stimulation of peripheral bloodcirculation
  • improvement of important blood parameters like immun factors and oxygen saturation
  • needle equivalent effects at trigger and acupuncture points in pain treatments
  • photodynamic induction of collagen 1, 3 formation
  • cross-linking of hyaluron acid molecules in dermal tissue
