What is Class 4 Laser Therapy?

Class 4 laser therapy, also known as high-power laser therapy, uses laser light at a specific wavelength to penetrate deeper into tissues than lower-class lasers. This type of therapy works by delivering concentrated energy to damaged or inflamed areas, promoting cellular repair and regeneration.
