Laser Perm Laser Perm is a brand of "continuous wave laser" sold
by  Global Electrolysis Supply,
a disreputable company selling hair removal products on the net
and through catalogs.
As with all Global Electrolysis
Supply products, Laser Perm should be avoided by all consumers.
Available devices:
Laser Perm 500: "only" $2,000.00
Laser Perm 1000 "only" $3,000.00
They claim these are Class III and Class IV lasers with peak
power less than 500 mW and an 808 nm wavelength. They say output
is “15 J/cm2 of photon intensity” for the Laser Perm
1000 and 7.5 J/cm2 for the Laser Perm 500. Mmm hm.
Comments
Wow, where to start on this one? This product is an egregious
violation of all sorts of federal laws. I’ll wager this will
be the one that eventually does them in.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has not cleared "continuous
wave laser" for use in hair removal.
The only approved lasers using carbon dyes have been demonstrated
to be temporary in clinical studies.
Their “laser eyewear” appears to be a pair of sunglasses,
and not protective eyewear for laser hair removal
I wouldn’t be surprised to find out their handpiece is
just some kind of laser pointer.
Quack claims
"Permanent"
"The newer open-pore procedure is much more thorough and
reliable for achieving permanency."
"Laser Perm also works for tattoo removal, spider veins,
resurfacing, scar reduction, and collagen stimulation for wrinkle
reduction therapy."
Can you tell the difference?
As with their V2R probe devices,
the two different models are actually the exact same photos of
the same unit.
Below: a photo of the Laser Perm 1000.
Below: the exact same photo, now labeled as a the Laser Perm
500
The only "difference" appears to be the $1,000.00 price
difference.
This is why I urge all consumers to avoid all products by this
disreputable company.
