A system for charging and programming one or more hand-held lasers. Each hand-held laser probe contains a rechargeable battery and means for storing program instructions. A base station transmits program instructions to the probe while the probe rests in the base or over the air by using radio or infrared frequencies. The probe may also be programmed by a portable memory unit. The base station is preferably connected to the internet, a telephone network, or computer. In the preferred embodiment, the probe fits into a cavity on the base station and the base station charges the batteries while the laser rests in cavity. The base is connected to house current.
