MIAMI, Fla., Nov. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- MATELASER, INC., an FDA-certified U.S. manufacturer of therapeutic laser systems, today announced the crowdfunding debut of its W1 REGEN Series, including W1 REGEN and W1 REGEN ULTRA. Weighing only 24 grams per module, the W1 REGEN is the world's lightest wearable medical-grade cold laser — empowering anyone to experience deep-tissue recovery, pain relief, and enhanced circulation anytime, anywhere.
Powered by patented VCSEL laser technology and dual wavelengths (660nm red + 810nm near-infrared), the W1 REGEN delivers up to 70mW laser output per module with medical precision. The advanced 1000Hz high-frequency pulsed mode enables deeper cellular activation while remaining safe, comfortable, and drug-free.
"Our mission is to bring professional laser precision into everyday wellness," said Dr. Jack Biesenbach, cofounder of MATELASER, INC. "The W1 REGEN Series transforms clinical laser therapy into a lightweight, wearable experience — letting users take charge of their healing and performance anytime, anywhere."
Next-Generation Wearable Laser Innovation
Unlike traditional LED-based home light therapy devices, the W1 REGEN uses focused VCSEL laser beams with a 25° divergence angle, ensuring optimal energy penetration into muscles, joints, and nerves. This innovation enhances tissue regeneration, circulation, and pain relief far beyond the limits of LED therapy.
- W1 REGEN — A single 70mW module for precise, localized pain relief and muscle recovery.
- W1 REGEN ULTRA — Four synchronized modules (total 280mW output) for multi-zone or larger-area therapy such as the lower back, thighs, or both knees simultaneously.
Both versions feature three therapy modes (Continuous / 10Hz / 1000Hz Pulsed) for customized treatment goals and smart wear accessories for effortless placement on muscles, joints, or nerves.
Bridging Clinical Science and Everyday Wellness
The W1 REGEN Series marks a milestone in making clinical-grade laser therapy accessible for personal use. Built on MATELASER's decades of research in photobiomodulation (PBM) — the science of using light to stimulate cellular repair — the device offers hospital-level precision in a form designed for daily life.
MATELASER engineers miniaturized its VCSEL diode system and advanced thermal management design to ensure stable output without overheating, even during extended sessions. This innovation not only improves energy efficiency but also ensures consistent therapeutic performance — a challenge most consumer-grade light devices fail to meet.
"We designed W1 REGEN Series to deliver the same photobiomodulation benefits trusted by medical professionals," said Dr. Jack Biesenbach. "Every specification — from wavelength stability to power density — was validated through clinical standards before it reached the consumer market." The result is a wearable portable laser that bridges the gap between clinical efficacy and consumer convenience, redefining the future of home rehabilitation and wellness care.
Everyday Wellness, Redefined
Compact, lightweight, and intuitively designed, the W1 REGEN integrates seamlessly into modern active lifestyles.
It supports:
- Drug-free pain relief for chronic or post-work discomfort
- Faster recovery after workouts or physiotherapy
- Safe post-surgery rehabilitation
- Relaxation and nervous system balance through gentle photobiomodulation
The ULTRA model includes a smart charging dock, powering all modules simultaneously — making full-body sessions efficient and effortless.
Whether used by athletes, office workers, or older adults managing chronic pain, the W1 REGEN Series delivers professional-grade results in a comfortable, hands-free experience.
Crowdfunding Launch on Kickstarter
The W1 REGEN Series officially launches on Kickstarter on November 18 at 7AM PST / 10AM EST. Early backers will receive exclusive launch discounts, limited-edition perks, and first access to this groundbreaking wearable laser therapy system.

SEOUL, South Korea, Dec. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- SK hynix Inc. (or "the company", www.skhynix.com) announced today that it has been named the winner of the Best Financially Managed Semiconductor Company Award (Achieving Greater than $1 Billion in Annual Sales)[1] and the Outstanding Asia-Pacific Semiconductor Company Award[2] at the Global Semiconductor Alliance (GSA)[3] Awards 2025, held on December 4 PST in Santa Clara, California.
| [1]The Best Financially Managed Semiconductor Company Award: A category recognizing public semiconductor companies based on financial soundness and operational efficiency. Awards are presented in two categories — annual sales over $1 billion and annual sales under $1 billion — and are considered among the most authoritative honors in the global semiconductor industry. |
| [2]Outstanding Asia-Pacific Semiconductor Company Award: A special category recognizing semiconductor companies headquartered in the Asia-Pacific region based on comprehensive evaluations including product excellence, business vision, leadership, and market success. |
| [3]GSA(Global Semiconductor Alliance): A global CEO-level semiconductor organization serving as a hub for technological information sharing across more than 25 countries and over 250 corporate members. |
The GSA Awards, organized annually since 1996, are regarded as the most prestigious honors in the global semiconductor sector, recognizing outstanding performance in leadership, financial results and industry reputation. SK hynix secured its second win in the financial management category following 2017, and its first recognition as the top Asia-Pacific semiconductor company. The dual achievement reinforces the company's reputation as a leading global technology innovator.
While the semiconductor industry faced a severe downturn just two years ago, the company has been the fastest to rebound thanks to its advanced AI memory technologies including HBM. This performance has resulted in global recognition for its operational excellence and financial execution. SK hynix plans to continue building sustainable growth with its dominant leadership in the AI memory market.
The awards reflect the company's proactive delivery of groundbreaking HBM solutions and its steadfast commitment to customer-centric performance in surging global AI demand. SK Chairman Chey Tae-won has consistently emphasized that securing technological competitiveness must remain unwavering, especially during challenging times. This long-term focus on technology investment and global cooperation network has contributed to the company's improved performance and reinforced financial health.
Driven by this strategy, SK hynix has recorded historic performance throughout 2025. For the first three quarters, the company reported revenue of 64 trillion won and operating profit of 28 trillion won in total, positioning it well to surpass its previous full-year earnings record set in 2024 (66 trillion won in revenue and 23 trillion won in operating profit).
Financial health has also significantly strengthened. As of the end of the third quarter, cash and cash equivalents reached 27.9 trillion won, up 10.9 trillion won quarter-over-quarter, while interest bearing debt decreased to 24.1 trillion won— successfully transitioning into a net cash position of approximately 4 trillion won.
To secure long-term leadership in AI memory, SK hynix is accelerating major investments. The Cheongju M15X fab, which opened its cleanroom earlier than planned in October, is on track to begin HBM mass production in the first half of next year. Construction of the first fab in the Yongin Semiconductor Cluster, launched in February, is also progressing ahead of schedule.
With its recent financial achievements and continued expansion, SK hynix is expected to further solidify its AI memory leadership going forward.
SK hynix was represented at the ceremony by Justin Kim, President & Head of AI Infra at SK hynix, and Sungsoo Ryu, President of SK hynix America. "It is a great honor to receive this award." Kim said, "We will continue to lead the market and create new value for customers as a Full-Stack AI Memory Creator, driving growth across the global AI ecosystem."
