Class IV lasers emit electromagnetic light (near-infrared light) waves. When we utilize light waves for healing, the process is called photobiomodulation.

Once laser light touches the skin, photons penetrate the 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 for other cells to perform their necessary functions. It is, basically, the fuel source for all cells.

When ATP production is increased, studies have shown accelerated cell growth, increased immune response, tissue repair, and nerve regeneration- vital criteria for expedited healing and pain relief.

Class IV lasers use non-ionizing radiation and are NOT carcinogenic.
