Class IV Laser

Class 4 laser therap is a therapeutic treatment that uses laser light to stimulate tissue repair, reduce pain and inflammation, and improve various health conditions. It is considered a more powerful and deeper-penetrating form of laser therapy compared to lower-class laser devices (Class 3 and below). Class 4 lasers are characterized by their higher power output, which allows for greater tissue penetration and faster treatment times.

Here are some key points about Class 4 laser therapy:

Deep Tissue Penetration: Class 4 lasers can penetrate deeper into the body’s tissues, reaching structures such as muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints. This deeper penetration is beneficial for addressing a wider range of conditions, including those that affect deep tissues.

Tissue Stimulation: The laser emits focused and concentrated light energy, which is absorbed by cells and converted into biochemical energy. This energy stimulates cellular processes, including increased ATP (adenosine triphosphate) production, which can enhance tissue repair and reduce inflammation.

Pain Management: Class 4 laser therapy is often used to manage and alleviate pain associated with various conditions, including musculoskeletal injuries, osteoarthritis, neuropathy, and more. It can help to reduce pain by increasing blood flow and releasing endorphins, the body’s natural pain relievers.

Tissue Healing: This therapy promotes tissue healing and regeneration by accelerating the production of collagen and other cellular components necessary for tissue repair. It can be used to treat acute injuries, chronic conditions, and post-surgical recovery.

Anti-Inflammatory Effects: The therapy has anti-inflammatory effects by reducing the production of inflammatory substances and promoting the removal of excess fluid and cellular debris from the treated area.

Non-Invasive: Class 4 laser therapy is non-invasive, meaning it does not involve surgical incisions or the use of medications. It is generally well-tolerated by patients with minimal side effects.  The higher power of Class 4 lasers allows for shorter treatment sessions, making it more convenient for patients.
