What Is Class IV Warm Laser Therapy?
Class IV warm laser therapy is the use of a laser to stimulate healing at a cellular level while improving blood circulation in a targeted area. Laser therapy, or photobiomodulation, is light particles or photons entering your body's tissue through laser light applied directly to the skin or above it, energizing your cells.
It is used for acute and chronic pain and post-surgical recovery and promotes rapid healing without opioids or other medications. Treatments are used to reduce pain and inflammation.
What to Expect From a Treatment?
Class IV warm laser treatments appointments last approximately ten minutes. Therapeutic dosages are administered quickly through controlled radiation emission.
You will likely need to receive several treatments for maximum effectiveness, but the healing begins from the first treatment. It is neither painful nor uncomfortable. Instead, you will feel warmth in the targeted area as the laser penetrates your tissues.
Eye protection may be required for the healthcare practitioner and the patient as a precaution.
