Gentle help for expectant mothers: what is a soft laser?
Pregnancy, birth and the postpartum period are intense times – physically and emotionally. That makes gentle, effective support all the more important when complaints arise. This is exactly where the soft laser comes in.
A soft laser (also called a low-level laser) is a medical device that uses focused light to promote healing, relieve pain and reduce inflammation – entirely without heat or side effects.
Why is a soft laser useful during pregnancy?
Many typical complaints around pregnancy and birth can be treated gently and effectively with the soft laser – without medication, without intervention.
Can I use a soft laser myself?
Yes, there are certified soft laser devices for home use that are particularly well suited for:
- Application to sore nipples
- Minor injuries in the intimate area
- Mild back pain or muscle tension
Important: Read the instructions beforehand and ideally discuss the use with your midwife or gynaecologist.
Your benefits as a pregnant or new mother
Pain-free & without medication
Especially during breastfeeding, you want to avoid painkillers where possible. The soft laser relieves complaints naturally – without active ingredients, without side effects.
Faster healing
Studies show: laser light can stimulate cell regeneration and thereby significantly accelerate the healing of wounds and inflammation.
Pleasant & relaxing
The application is completely pain-free, usually takes only a few minutes and is perceived by many women as pleasantly warm.
Typical areas of application

Are there risks or side effects?
Soft laser therapy is considered very safe when used correctly. There are only a few situations in which it is not recommended, for example:
- Open infections with pus
