VLS Vet Laser System
VLS Vet Laser System · Dual red
The proven foundation. Dual red.
Two line-generating 640 nm red diodes in a handheld built for daily veterinary workflow — the wavelength platform Erchonia’s first FDA clearance was earned on, for musculoskeletal comfort and mobility support in companion and performance animals alike.
The VLS is built on Erchonia’s established red wavelength platform: two 7.5 mW line-generating Class 2 diodes with patented optics, delivering non-thermal laser therapy that is reliable, precise and easy to integrate into the day. Erchonia Vet Laser Systems have been used across equine, canine, feline and avian medicine for non-healing wounds, chronic infections, pain and inflammation, post-operative and bone healing, anxiety and neurological trauma — and the VLS is the foundational instrument for the mobility-focused protocols that fill most schedules.

How it works
The wavelength that started it.
Red light, delivered as a line — the photochemistry Erchonia has been refining for over 25 years.
The laser’s low levels of light penetrate the animal’s body without intrusion to alter cellular function, naturally reducing oxidative stress and encouraging cellular production of ATP. When the laser reaches the target muscles, nerves or ligaments, it stimulates the mitochondria of the cell into action and encourages increased production of ATP — and that process promotes natural healing. Unlike drugs and surgery, Erchonia’s veterinary lasers cause no pain, scarring or adverse side effects: the animal remains awake throughout and experiences no downtime, which is why non-thermal laser therapy is an ideal choice for any veterinarian looking to keep patients as happy and healthy as possible. The VLS delivers that response through two red diodes, so a single pass covers the joint, the incision or the wound bed with a line of light rather than a dot — reliable, repeatable and easy to teach to every member of the team.
| VLS | What it means in the room | |
|---|---|---|
| Diodes | Two 7.5 mW line-generating Class 2 red diodes, patented optics | Twice the coverage of a single-diode handheld, from one pass |
| Tissue interaction | Non-thermal | No heat, no sedation, no risk of burns under the coat |
| Protocols | Preset canine, equine, feline and exotics channels + user-programmable | The right protocol is a tap away for any patient on the schedule |
| Form factor | Under 1 lb handheld, battery-powered | Exam room, kennel, barn or field — the laser goes to the animal |
Reliable, precise and easy to integrate into daily veterinary workflow — the proven foundation in veterinary photobiomodulation.
Why clinics choose it
Why veterinarians choose the VLS
The entry point to the line, without compromise on the science.
01
Foundational musculoskeletal protocols
Best for mobility-focused work in small and large animal practice: arthritis, soft-tissue injury, post-operative comfort — the visits that fill the schedule.
02
Non-thermal, so no sedation
Class IV lasers work by warming tissue; the VLS works at the cellular level without heat. The animal stays awake and comfortable, and the session ends when the protocol does.
03
Preset species protocols
Every Erchonia vet laser ships with easy-to-use preset protocols for canine, equine, feline and exotics, plus user-programmable channels — so the protocol is a tap away and the team learns one workflow across the whole line.
Applications
What veterinarians treat with it
Erchonia Vet Laser Systems are used across equine, canine, feline and avian medicine for conditions including:
- Non-healing wounds
- Chronic infections
- Pain and inflammation
- Post-operative healing
- Bone healing
- Anxiety
- Neurological trauma
Veterinary devices, intended for use by veterinary professionals. The FDA clearances cited on this site apply to Erchonia’s human-use lasers; the veterinary line is built on the same wavelengths, diodes and patented optics.

Where it works
Where it works
One handheld, every species on the schedule.
01
Companion animal practice
Post-op incisions, hot spots, arthritis and the anxious patient in the exam room — a non-thermal protocol that fits inside the visit you already booked.
02
Equine and performance
Distal limb wounds, tendon and ligament recovery and soundness work on the animals whose job is to move.
03
Rehabilitation and recovery
The rehab suite’s hands-on adjunct: pain and inflammation, bone healing and neurological trauma, session after session, with nothing to warm up or cool down.

Project revenue impact, break-even timelines and per-visit value increases from your own clinic volume.
Increased visit value
Laser sessions integrate into care plans, increasing per-visit revenue without increasing provider strain.
Improved case acceptance
Patients commit to conservative plans more readily when non-invasive technology is included.

The veterinary line
Three wavelength pairings, one handheld platform — matched to the caseload.
EVL
640 nm red + 405 nm violet · handheld

VGL
520 nm green + 405 nm violet · handheld
The world’s first green-and-violet laser, adapted for veterinary use — the most energetic pairing in the line, for performance, recovery and rehabilitation.
MitoCollar
