Rewritten: In a world where pain is often masked instead of healed, one company is lighting a new path forward. Epoch Lasers® isn’t just developing another wellness gadget: it’s championing a movement toward deeper, cellular-level healing at home. The goal: to reduce reliance on medication and empower people to return to the active lives they love. Their mission is as clear as it is urgent:
“To return people to healthy active lifestyles by advancing light-based solutions that reduce pain & inflammation, improve range of motion, enable tissue regeneration, and eliminate the need for addictive medications.”
From Personal Pain to a Powerful Purpose
Epoch Lasers was born from a moment of heartbreak, and a powerful realization. The brand’s founder witnessed the devastating impact of the opioid crisis firsthand when a family friend’s career was lost to addiction after being prescribed pain medication for an injury.
This experience sparked a crucial question: What if there were a way to treat pain at its source, rather than just masking the symptoms? That question set the founder on a journey spanning more than 30 years, to develop a technology that uses the power of light to help the body heal from within.
The Science of Light: Healing at the Cellular Level
This dedication culminated in the creation of the Epoch® 980 Helios, a device born from a commitment to go deeper. The core problem with many at-home therapy devices is a lack of efficacy. Competing products often use wavelengths of light that don’t penetrate tissue deeply enough to reach the site of injury or possess insufficient power to create a therapeutic effect. Furthermore, many, like common red-light therapy devices, are less effective on different skin tones because their light is highly absorbed by melanin, the pigment in our skin.
Epoch Lasers differentiates itself by tackling these issues head-on. The Epoch® 980 Helios utilizes a specific, invisible infrared (IR) wavelength of light. This wavelength was meticulously chosen because it is not significantly absorbed by melanin, allowing it to bypass the skin’s surface and penetrate deeply into muscles and joints. This ensures consistent and effective treatment regardless of skin color. The device also features a large treatment area, allowing users to cover more of the painful area efficiently.
So, how does it work? The technology is elegantly simple yet profoundly effective. The infrared light from the Helios 980 stimulates the mitochondria—the powerhouses of our cells. This stimulation boosts the production of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP), the primary energy currency of the cell. By increasing ATP, the device enhances the body’s own natural healing mechanisms, accelerating recovery, reducing inflammation, and ultimately alleviating pain. It’s a process that supports the body’s intended functions rather than introducing foreign substances.
A Silver Lining: How Crisis Unveiled True Potential
The versatility of the Helios 980 was truly realized during an unexpected period of global crisis. Launched in September 2018, the company’s initial focus was on clinical sales. When the COVID-19 pandemic shut down clinics and travel, Epoch Lasers pivoted to selling the Helios 980 online. Originally intended for hand therapy, customers soon discovered its effectiveness for a wide range of issues, from back and foot pain to sore elbows and knees. This real-world application proved that Epoch had created a significantly more impactful product than even they had anticipated.
The very name “Epoch” signifies the brand’s belief that this is a pivotal moment in personal wellness. As Director of Sales and Training, Kelly Martin, suggested, the name marks a great period in time—an era where individuals can take control of their healing. It was, as she put it, “about damn time” to launch a company that offered a real, science-backed alternative.
