Overview
Class IV Lasers emit electromagnetic light (near-infrared light waves). When we utilize these light waves for healing, the process is called PHOTOBIOMODULATION. Once laser light touches the skin, photons (light particles) penetrate underlying tissue and our cells absorb the light’s energy. This results in an increased production of a molecule called ATP (adenosine triphosphate). ATP is responsible for “carrying” energy in order for other cells to perform their necessary functions. It is, basically, the fuel source for all other cells. When ATP production is increased, studies have shown accelerated cell growth, tissue repair and nerve regeneration - vital criterion for expedited healing and pain relief.

The Therapeutic Effects of Class IV Laser Therapy
Class IV Laser therapy is a painless, non-invasive, drug-free modality that has been scientifically documented to significantly reduce, and often completely eliminate pain. The main goal of laser therapy is to stimulate cells to perform their natural functions, but at a rate that expedites healing by up to 300 times faster than normal.
Anti-Inflammation
Laser therapy activates the body’s natural lymphatic drainage system, which is necessary to rid excess fluid that collects in response to injury and causes edema/swelling. Heat, redness, discomfort and pain are often associated with swelling. In this sense, Class IV Laser therapy serves as an anti-inflammatory analgesic.
Beta-Endorphin Release
Laser therapy induces stimulation of beta-endorphins – the body’s natural painkiller and stress reliever. Beta-endorphins block the nervous system’s ability to send signals of pain to the brain.
Enhanced Blood Flow
Cell generation caused by photobiomodulation also results in the formation of capillaries within the vascular system, allowing oxygen and key nutrients to travel to damaged tissue faster. This accelerates wound healing and reduces the formation of painful scar tissue.
