I stumbled across some ridiculous eBay listings for DIY medical and cosmetic lasers recently, and I couldn't resist the urge to test some of them out. They turned out more horrible than I could have imagined!!

The worst laser in this bunch is by FAR the "neatcell" spot removal laser. This thing is EXTREMELY dangerous. Not only can it blind you instantly, but it will likely leave terrible scars if you use it on yourself to remove tattoos (or acne, freckles, and all the other stuff it claims to remove). To make matters worse, it sells like crazy!!! D: If you know anybody who owns one of these, tell them to get rid of it immediately!!
The next laser I showed after the neatcell is the q-switched tattoo burner laser I've showcased on this channel before. This thing is absolutely crazy, capable of peak powers exceeding a MILLION watts. Unlike the neatcell, it might be useful in the hands of a trained operator to remove tattoos, but it certainly isn't safe by any means.
The next "laser" turned out to not be a laser at all. The "plasma spot removal laser" turned out to be what is essentially a "slayer exciter" circuit in a pen style housing. Although not as scary as the first two lasers, I wouldn't recommend using it on yourself. It is an interesting and compact source of high frequency electricity though.
Finally, I tested out a GIGANTIC q-switched surgical laser that I bought used on eBay. Although NOT advertised for DIY use, it still fit the theme of eBay medical lasers so I showcased it anyway. This thing is capable of over 100W average of 532nm green light, with peak output power exceeding 10kW. - Věda a technologie
The opaque goggles are included to prepare you for what it’s like being blind after you misuse the laser.

Mad engineer. Most villains are actually mad engineers. You can tell by the lack of repeating experiments to confirm data and his combination of goggles but lack of fire safety indicates safety third rather than safety second
Pyro demonstrating how the laser can set stuff on fire pretty quickly and then proceeding to wave it around the room and burn his hand with it is absolutely wild to me.
It's all about not leaving it on one spot for very long, it's extremely important how he's always waving it around so as not to actually burn anything
He’s a “professional”
“It’s a terrible idea to use the device on yourself”
Uses it on himself
He studied in those fields and knows what can cause actual harm and what will only hurt a bit.
He says this, as not everyone is highly educated in those fields and someone can actually hurt themselves, if used slightly differently.
@@Ikxi He's still human, and he can fail, He's crazy because he takes that 0.1% chance that he could fail and die (or be seriously crippled) just to make videos. So, respect Styropyro, both for his bravery and his intelligence.

The one marketed to remove eyebrows sounds like a sick 4chan prank.
My mom is a dermatologist and i showed her this video because i wanted to show her just how bad these lasers are. She went through years of laser safety training and the laser she uses is $92,000 and is actually safe to use if used by a professional
"safe to use" and "if used by a professional" really dont play together nicely in one sentence.
@@Sharpless2 Safe is relative. You still have the human element. Even with training, it only reduces the chance of a mistake.

"The FDA and FCC would have a stroke over this" is an amazing assessment of the device lol
At this power level, the ATF should have a stroke, too. 😉

@@infinityvy we see him wear goggles whenever his face is in the frame and he's using the laser
One of the most appropriate ad setups ever, well done!
I have one of those little white cautery pens shown. It's actually very useful at removing small blemishes like freckles or small moles. It will scar, but eventually heal up a nearly unnoticeable spot in a couple weeks to a couple months. it can also be used to zap varicose veins. I've used it for all these applications and its certainly saved me $1000s in dermatological visits that insurance refuses to cover.
"Blow craters in a block of Tungsten"
those are some powerful words.
I mean a lot of bullets can’t do that to tungsten
Those craters are only a few microns deep
@@JohnSmith-eo5sp That's probably because the superheated tungsten gets so hot that it ionizes into a plasma, opacifying and shielding any more tungsten behind it.
@@neolexiousneolexian6079 That's probably it. This explains why such lasers would be useless at ground level for taking out military machines, that and the laser would also transform air into plasma that would dissipate the laser beam

'' OR COMPLETELY DANGEROUS''smiles with excitement
nice lazer, now I wonder, can you use it to char wood to make a wooden PCB. or perhaps use a UV or radioactivelaser or cathode ray to ionize the air around it and for a path for plasma to follow so that you can use high voltage and possibly frequency to alter the structure of the carbon material formed when the wood gets charred?
I’m a retired mechanical engineer and I gotta say, I am TRULY impressed by the knowledge you’ve shown over the years. From the ground up, you’ve become a prominent authority of this technology. Good job!

I have one of those plasma pens because it was so cheap and I was willing to try it for a few moles, in my experience it does remove dark spots/moles but it does so by basically turning it into a burn wound first, so you gotta be careful with the healing process after. Also it's useful for hobby stuff.
It’s definetly the kind of thing I’d buy as an impulse buy lmaoo
