How Does Class 4 Laser Therapy Work?
Class 4 Laser Therapy works by delivering concentrated light energy to the affected area, which penetrates deeply into tissues. This energy stimulates cellular repair and increases blood circulation. It enhances the body’s natural healing processes, providing anti-inflammatory effects, boosting collagen production, and reducing pain by blocking pain receptors in the nervous system.
Benefits of Class 4 Laser Therapy
- Fast Pain Relief: Patients often experience immediate pain reduction after treatment due to the laser’s ability to inhibit pain signals.
- Accelerated Healing: The laser’s light energy promotes faster tissue repair and regeneration, shortening recovery time.
- Improved Blood Flow: Increased circulation allows more oxygen and nutrients to reach damaged tissues, further promoting healing.
- Non-Invasive: This therapy does not require surgery or medications, making it a safer alternative for many conditions.

- Use over cancerous tumors
- On or near the eyes
- Over a pregnant abdomen
