Company Founder & Pioneer of Low-Level Laser Therapy

Portrait of Hans Michael Weber, MD

Hans Michael Weber, MD

Whilst working as a general practitioner with my own practice, I had started to become aware of some of the limitations of conventional medicine and it was this realization that led me to the field of low-level laser therapy.

I quickly recognized the almost limitless potential of this therapeutic approach and so I began to integrate it into my everyday practice. Low-level laser therapy developed into a true passion. I had found my calling!

Driven by the clinical successes I experienced with patients on a daily basis I continued to develop the therapy and in 2005, after years of research and development, I launched the world’s first device for invasive laser application onto the market. The Weberneedle® Endolaser was born! Today, Weber Medical has its medical laser systems in more than 2,000 clinics in over 40 countries.

The effectiveness of low-level laser therapy has been proven by numerous peer reviewed studies. And at Weber Medical we feel we are just getting started, we are learning more every day, optimizing our proprietary protocols and procedures and conducting research on new applications.

You too can become a user and help your patients feel better in the long term.
