Patent ID: 8317847

Claim:
A biostimulation apparatus comprising a laser oscillator for oscillating an ultra short pulsed laser beam and an optical system for focusing the ultra short pulsed laser beam; the ultra short pulsed laser beam being focused by said optical system at a target portion of a living subject to cause the target portion to be irradiated with the laser beam to stimulate an acupuncture point; wherein the target portion is either the acupuncture point or its periphery; wherein the acupuncture point is stimulated by physical impact caused by the irradiation with the ultra short pulsed laser beam; and wherein a pulse duration of the ultra short pulsed laser beam is in a range from 1.0×10 −10 sec to 1.0×10 −15 sec and a transient light intensity of the ultra short pulsed laser beam is in a range from 5×10 5 W to 1×10 18 W.
