Then, in 2016, one of the oldest laser companies, created the first commercial pod. I was so excited. I traveled to the nearest location to try it but was horribly disappointed. The design had flaws, and the price was too high. I knew I could design and build a better Pod. I started writing the specifications for the PBM pod everyone would want. When my first version came in, it too was disappointing. It didn’t produce enough energy, the pulsing was poor, and its construction quality even worse. While others are out selling this pod that failed my tests, I wasn’t going to do so.

I realized I needed to take more control over the design and manufacturing. To help me, I brought in another pair of “Bad Knees” from the volleyball team, Tom Rebman (Tulane) to run the company. In full disclosure, Tom’s bad knees may also have come from too much snowboarding in Sorrels. Tom’s EE chops (Bell Labs, Qualcomm) made him the perfect complement to help me build the best PBM pod on the market. Still, we needed help on that corporate formation thing, so a third pair of “Bad Knees” from the team (including a quadricep tendon ripped from the kneecap on a jump up to smash a #5 set) and fellow Holmdel Ski Club buddy of Tom’s, Ira Barron (UPenn, UCLA), joined as our business advisor.

We started the 3-year process of bringing the pod design up to the highest standards (8,000 watts of power, independent wavelength pulsing, quality control). Timewise, this put us way behind much of the competition, but we feel like it was worth it to build the best.  Those poorly engineered pods on the market just don’t deliver the kind of results our practitioners and their patients and clients see with the ReGen pod.

Now, BioPhotonica builds the best pods in our Colorado manufacturing facility, and we deliver results unseen in any other pod.  We understand that there are lots of option out there but if you really care about getting the best results, the ReGen Pod is the option to choose.
