FDA approval doesn't necessarily mean it's effective like you are trying to imply.
"There is a great deal of variation in the types of lasers that are used and how they are used. Some devices do not have the output that they promise, and others are little more than light-emitting diodes (LED lights). Some advertise that they can help with herpes, high blood pressure, migraine headaches, wrinkles, cerebral palsy, and other conditions, claims for which there is little or no evidence. The FDA forbids statements that a treatment can help or cure diseases if scientific studies have not found it to be true. It has warned at least one seller of low level lasers to stop making such claims."

the truly sad part is if there were a benefit to a certain type of laser, it would be obscured by low-life charlatans peddling flashlights. disgusting.
