Laser acupuncture uses low-energy laser beams to stimulate traditional acupoints. Directing laser energy at these points enhances blood circulation and increases the metabolic activity of tissue cells. This method employs laser light to adjust the meridians and treat various diseases.

Advantages
Laser acupuncture is convenient, easy to use, painless, and with little to no side effects. 
1. Compared with traditional acupuncture, treatment time is shorter, with 10-20 seconds on each acupoint
2. Painless, safe, suitable for those scared of pain, children, and the elderly
3. Noninvasive and no side effects or risks of infection or side effects 
4. The energy released by the laser achieves the effects of acupuncture 

Precautions
1. Avoid looking directly at the laser beams during treatment 
2. Those with a cardiac pacemaker, pregnant women, patients with epileptic seizures, those taking gamete inhibitors or immunosuppressants, and patients with a history of cancer must inform the doctor before receiving treatment for further evaluation.
