coMra-Therapy is a non-invasive and non-destructive approach to healing that works at a cellular level through stimulating the immune and regenerative functions of the human body. The four types of radiances are used at such low power levels that they cannot damage the building blocks of an organism: cells and protein molecules.

coMra-Therapy arises from the latest discoveries in biophysics, photobiology and laser technology, and combines these in a single device called the Delta Laser.

The Delta's portability means that it can be used safely at home, and it comes with a comprehensive User Guide and after-sales support.
