Class 4 IV Laser Therapy
Home > Class IV Laser Therapy
What is Class 4 Laser Therapy?
Class IV Laser Therapy delivers specific red and near infrared wavelengths of laser light, using varying penetration levels and wavelengths, to induce a therapeutic affect within the body.
During class 4 laser therapy the infrared laser light interacts with tissues at the cellular level, and metabolic activity increases within the cell, improving the transport of nutrients across the cell membrane. This initiates the increased production of cellular energy that leads to a multitude of beneficial effects.
Mitochondria are the cell’s energy generators. Most of the energy produced by the mitochondria is housed in a molecule called adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which helps your body store and use energy.
Aging, illness, or lifestyle factors can make the mitochondria produce less ATP. Class IV Laser Therapy triggers a reaction that helps reverse this decline. Secondary effects, such as an increase in mitochondria calcium, start a cascade of tissue healing.
The Theralas class IV laser treatment system features advanced laser technology and can deliver more energy than other therapy lasers. The additional power coupled with optimal wavelength and trearment light beam size, result in deeper penetration, signigicantly faster treatment times and delivery of the proper therapeutic dosage. These features provude healthcare professionals an enhanced and superior ability to treat difficult conditions and ultimately provide better clinical outcomes to all patients.

Where Do Clinical Results Really Come From?
There is always some debate as to which are the “right” parameters for which conditions. Conditions do not absorb light, tissues do, and more specifically, the photon absorbing chromophore. Beyond that, there are a variety of mechanisms involved that need to be stimulated. To this end, Theralas class 4 laser therapy employs the broadest range of wavelengths and frequencies targeting each relevant tissue type, enhancing all healing processes involved.
Why wavelength is so important in class iv laser therapy?
Wavelengths determine laser energy’s depth of penetration in tissue and specifically target beneficial chromophores to stimulate the photochemical reaction.
650nm: Irradiating an area with 650nm, a wavelength where melanin in our skin absorbs very well, will ensure a large dose to the superficial region. Since light can both inhibit bacteria and promote cell growth, iv laser therapy has incredible results in wound healing and scar tissue regulation.
810nm:The enzyme determining how efficiently the cell converts molecular oxygen into ATP has the highest absorption at 810nm. Regardless of the enzyme’s molecular state, when it absorbs a photon it will flip states. Photon absorption will accelerate the process and increase cellular ATP production.
(Theralas is the first laser to offer individual or multi wavelengths)
915 nm:Oxygen is released in variable percentages in the blood: the faster it is released, the more oxygen needs to be transported to the cell in order for the natural healing processes to take place. This wavelength is absorbed by haemoglobin, water, melanin and Cytochrome C oxidase. When it is absorbed, more oxygen is available to the cells.
980nm:Water in the blood transports oxygen to the cells, carries waste away, and absorbs very well at 980nm. The energy created from absorbing a photon gets convertedto heat, creating a temperature gradient at the cellular level, stimulating micro-circulation, and bringing more oxygen-fuel to the cells.
1064nm:The 1064nm wavelength is a longer wavelength that can penetrate deeper into tissue. Clinical studies indicate that it has the least dispersion within biological tissues due to its decreased melanin absorption. The result is deep activation of metabolic processes vital for all cellular activities.
Why power is so important in class iv laser treatment?
If wavelength determines energy’s depth of penetration of class 4 laser therapy , then power determines its saturation at the targeted depth. It would be a mistake to consider one without the other.
Power (Watts) is the number of photons of radiation you can deliver per unit of time. The energy deposited (Joules) is the accumulation of these photons over time (1 Watt=1 Joule per 1 second). By starting out with more Watts at the surface, more will penetrate to desired depth. For an illustration, consider the following:
1 Watt laser: 40 seconds to deliver 10 Joules of energy to a 4cm depth
4 Watt laser: 10 seconds to deliver 10 Joules of energy to a 4cm depth
The higher-powered laser will be able to deliver therapeutic doses to deeper targets in a shorter amount of time.
Why Is It Necessary To Use Different Frequencies?
It has been well established that different pulse frequencies elicit different physiological responses. During class iv laser therapy, it is beneficial to deliver a variety of pulse frequencies. Theralas class 4 Laser has taken everything known about the makeup of each part of the anatomy and modified the settings to target just the right amount of bone, soft tissue, and fat. Theralas Laser’s approach uses the largest variety of laser parameters utilizing multiple distinct phases within each protocol. This dynamic range, combining 2 or 4 wavelengths and frequencies from CW to 20,000 Hz, has the best chance at stimulating all of the body’s cells to heal themselves more efficiently.
| Table 1. Frequency vs. Therapeutic Effect | |
| Frequency Range | Therapeutic Effect |
| 1000-3000 Hz | anti-edema effects; lymphatic system circulation; skin treatment |
| 1000 Hz | analgesia for chronic pain; painful conditions of the skin; wound healing |
| 50 Hz | anti-inflammatory; analgesia effect on subcutaneous tissues, fascia, tendons, and small joints |
| 5 Hz | deepest penetration; effective treatment of deeper tissue structures, including facet joints, acetabular joints, herniated discs; tissue regeneration. |
Biological Effect Of Clas 4 Laser Therapy:
Class iv Laser therapy uses selected wavelengths of light to stimulate key molecules in human tissues. Decades of medical research have identified the wavelengths, energy levels and frequencies that induce changes in cellular metabolism (Photobiostimulation), for instance melanin absorbing sunlight changes skin pigmentation. Theralas laser delivers energy from superficial to deep tissues activating a cascade of photochemical reactions that promotes cell function, enabling treated tissues to accelerate the stages of the healing process and reduce pain sensation. This is a safe and non-invasive technique that uses the body’s own reparative processes.
By stimulating key molecules (haemoglobin, water, cytochrome c) Theralas class 4 laser therapy improves tissue oxygenation, ATP synthesis and intercellular exchanges, activating a cascade of photochemical reactions that speeds up the healing, regenerative process.
Theralas laser therapy induces vasodilation in the treated area and promotes angiogenesis, thus improving blood circulation, optimising tissue nutrition and removal of cell waste and inflammatory factors. Theralas laser boosts the lymphatic drainage system as well. As a result, there is a reduction in swelling caused by bruising or local inflam-mation.
Laser therapy accelerates the termination of the inflammatory process. Interleukin-1, a cytokine that has immune and pro-inflammatory actions, is proven to be reduced by laser treatment, and the antioxidant Super Oxide Dismutase (SOD) levels are enhanced, helping reduce damaging free-radical activity.
Laser therapy is proven to facilitate the normalisation of nerve signal transmission in the autonomic, sensory, and motor neural pathways. Both Compound Muscle Action Potential (CMAP) and Nerve Latency values show improvement following laser treatment. It is also proven to stimulate axonal sprouting and cell regeneration in damaged nerves.
Pain relief is the result of nerve activity alteration, reduced localised inflammation and swelling, proven to happen following a Theralas laser therapy course.
Theralas laser wavelengths, power and pulse frequencies penetrate at depth into tissues and accelerate cellular reproduction and growth by increasing their metabolism. As a result, the cells of tendons, ligaments, muscles and bones are repaired faster.
Early Theralas laser Therapy can prevent the accumulation of scar tissue following tears, burns or surgery. Once healed the tissues are proven to be more elastic with minimal scarring, reducing the onset of chronic pain associated with scars.
Acceleration of Leukocytic activity and enhanced Lymphocytic response have been observed in treated tissues, enhancing the removal of nonviable tissue components and rapid repair. Wounds treated with the Theralas laser are more resilient to secondary infections.
Laser therapy optimises collagen and elastin deposition: wounds treated with the Theralas laser are proven to heal faster, with increased tensile strength preventing further breakdowns. Theralas laser therapy is e ective on Chronic Diabetic Ulcers and traumatic wounds.
Theralas laser therapy stimulates acupuncture points allowing needleless acupuncture.
