Class 4 Laser Therapy
Class 4 laser therapy works by delivering concentrated light energy to the affected area. This energy is absorbed by the cells, stimulating cellular activity and promoting healing. Here's a breakdown of how it works:
Inflammation reduction: The laser energy helps to reduce inflammation, which can contribute to pain and hinder the healing process.
Cellular stimulation: The laser stimulates cellular activity, promoting tissue regeneration and repair.
Pain relief: By reducing inflammation and promoting healing, the laser can help alleviate pain.
Improved blood flow: The laser can increase blood flow to the affected area, which helps to deliver oxygen and nutrients necessary for healing.

Class 3 vs Class 4 Lasers
Class 3 lasers: These lasers have lower power outputs and are primarily used for cosmetic purposes, such as hair removal and skin rejuvenation. They can also be used for superficial pain relief and inflammation reduction.
Class 4 lasers: These lasers have higher power outputs and are designed for therapeutic applications. They can penetrate deeper into the tissues, making them more effective for treating a wider range of conditions, including musculoskeletal injuries, chronic pain, and post-surgical recovery.
While both types of lasers can be beneficial, Class 4 lasers are generally considered more effective for treating pain and promoting healing. It's important to consult with a qualified healthcare professional to determine which type of laser therapy is best suited for your specific needs.
