Laser Safety Goggles & IPL Safety Glasses

Laser safety goggles and IPL safety glasses at Face Med Store are sorted by protection range, from OD1 for IPL systems to OD 7+ for visible-band lasers. You pick a pair by matching its rated range to the wavelength of your device.

Compare the five models below, or open the IPL safety glasses (OD1 2921).

Laser Safety Goggles by Wavelength Range

The range holds five pairs: Laser Safety Goggles 315-540nm, OD6 Laser Safety Goggles 2907, OD6 Laser Safety Goggles 2903, Laser Safety Goggles 740nm-1100nm and OD1 Laser Goggles 2921. Each lists a protection range in nanometres, an optical density and the procedures it is stated for. One rule organises the whole range: match the goggle's rated range to your device's wavelength.

IPL safety glasses: OD1 2921

The IPL safety glasses (OD1 2921) are rated 190-2000 nm at OD1, which passes about 10% of light at rated wavelengths. They are listed for IPL systems, alignment, calibration and supervised observation in controlled, low-power settings.

OD6 laser safety goggles 2907

The OD6 laser safety goggles 2907 cover 190-550 nm and 800-1100 nm at OD6 in the rated bands, and block 99.9999% of energy at rated wavelengths. They are listed for 532 nm vascular and pigment systems, diode (810 nm) systems and Nd:YAG (1064 nm) systems.

OD6 laser safety goggles 2903

The OD6 goggles 2903 for CO2 and Alexandrite cover 200-460 nm, 750-2000 nm and 10600 nm at OD6 in the rated bands. They are a lightweight wraparound design. They are listed for CO2 (10600 nm), Alexandrite (755 nm), diode (800+ nm), Nd:YAG (1064 nm) and UV systems.

740-1100 nm laser safety goggles

The 740-1100 nm laser safety goggles cover 740-1100 nm, plus 800-1070 nm devices, at OD 5+ with DIR LB5. The lenses are polycarbonate. They are listed for Nd:YAG, diode and other infrared laser procedures, and they shield the provider, staff and patient.

315-540 nm laser safety goggles

The 315-540 nm laser safety goggles cover 315-540 nm (visible) at OD 7+ with DIRM LB6. The lenses are polycarbonate and scratch-resistant. They are listed for KTP, dye and other visible-band laser procedures, and they shield the provider, staff and patient.

Start from your device and read across. This second table shows which goggles list each system:

Your device	Goggles that list it
IPL	OD1 Laser Goggles 2921
Nd:YAG (1064 nm)	OD6 2907, OD6 2903 and the 740-1100 nm goggles
CO2 (10600 nm)	OD6 Laser Safety Goggles 2903
Alexandrite (755 nm)	OD6 Laser Safety Goggles 2903
Diode	OD6 2907 (810 nm), OD6 2903 (800+ nm) and the 740-1100 nm goggles
KTP, dye and other visible-band lasers	Laser Safety Goggles 315-540nm
532 nm vascular and pigment systems	OD6 Laser Safety Goggles 2907

Check the wavelength printed on your device, then find the pair whose rated range contains it. If your clinic runs more than one system, check each system against the rated range separately, since a pair is chosen per wavelength and not per procedure type.

Optical density in plain terms: OD1 passes about 10% of light at rated wavelengths, and OD6 blocks 99.9999% of energy at rated wavelengths. The two are not interchangeable. The OD1 2921 is listed for IPL systems and supervised observation in controlled, low-power settings. The OD6 pairs are listed for the laser systems named in the tables above.

Laser Safety Goggles Buying Notes

• Match the range: Each pair is rated to specific wavelength ranges. No pair in this range is listed as covering every laser, so confirm your device's wavelength against the rated range before you order.
• Who is covered: The 740-1100 nm and 315-540 nm goggles shield the provider, staff and patient.
• Build: The 740-1100 nm and 315-540 nm goggles use polycarbonate lenses, and the 315-540 nm pair is scratch-resistant. The OD6 2903 is a lightweight wraparound.
• Training: Laser Safety: Understanding Medical Lasers & IPL is an online course for providers operating laser therapy systems. See the laser safety course.
