Here are some laser options if you want to build your own laser healing units. If you want a crosshair as shown in the link below, use the crosshair laser. You can put together a row of focused line lasers to cover more area but there will be space between each line. Or you can buy a bunch of the laser dots and make an array of any size you want. The focusable laser dot may allow you to broaden out the dot a little to give you less open area between each laser dot. The one with a built in regulator makes it much easier to connect to a battery. With the unregulated lasers you either have to use a power source between 3 to 4.5 volts or use a higher voltage with a limiting resistor. One important item to remember is that the lasers will get warm and if you put to many together you may have a problem unless you make provisions to conduct the heat away.

I suppose if you had all the machinery you could do it yourself. That is why they are much more expensive than the laser pens you see on ebay and elsewhere. The industrial grade 635nm diode is actually 10mw but exits the aperture at about 5mw. If you check pricing on industrial grade 10mw 635nm laser diodes you'll understand why the laser therapy pen is not cheap. The LEDs discussed earlier DO work they just don't penetrate as deeply. If you are trying to save $ that's a good way to go.

Would you be willing to share the "how to"?

Some folks on the silver list have also used red LED lights for hair growth. I designed my own laser unit and find it penetrates a little better than LEDs. Both will work though. http://www.freewebs.com/stevelevine/lasertherapypen.htm works well for pain relief too Steve N��[ެ���+��^��^u�+�g��جr�,�x�Yh�֥J)oz�n����'���rب��m���� ,�[ޮX����R{.n�+���j)m�ȥ�����kz����)�r�����r
