Q. What is a Class 4 laser?
A. Not all Class 4 lasers are for therapy. The FDA classifies lasers from 1 to 4. Class IV Lasers are higher power laser devices that the FDA has determined can pose a significant risk of injury to the eye if not used correctly. Some Class 4 lasers are used in health and medical settings for a wide range of therapeutic applications. Others are used for construction, cutting, burning and by hobbyists such as high powered laser pointers. The Q and A in this article are referring to medical lasers or Class 4 therapy lasers for practitioners.
Q. Who can buy a Class 4 therapy laser?
A. Therapeutic Class 4 Lasers are typically in the range of 1 Watt to 60 Watts and can be sold to people in different ways. Clinical use Class IV Laser can only be purchased by licensed practitioners. However, if they are being purchased for use on animals, no license is required. If a patient or individual wishes to purchase a Class 4 laser for personal use, they must present a prescription for laser therapy from a licensed medical professional.
Q. How dangerous is a Class 4 laser?
A. Class 4 visible-light lasers pose a significant risk of injury to the eye if direct exposure to the retina occurs without correct eye protection. They can cause burns to the retina if not used correctly, thus training is typically provided with all class 4 laser sales. The laser user and patient can prevent eye exposure to beams from Class 4 lasers by wearing the included eye protection glasses. Additionally burning can occur to skin and tissues if the laser is left in one spot for long enough. This is extremely rare, since training teaches you to keep the emitter head moving at all times. It’s like driving, you always want to keep your eyes on the road and your hands upon the wheel. So don’t fall asleep while using the laser and always wear your eye protection glasses. The higher the power of the laser, the more important to keep the laser emitter in constant movement to prevent heat buildup.
Q. Are Class 4 lasers illegal?
A. Therapeutic Class 4 lasers are NOT illegal. However, there have been some Class 4 laser pointers which have been sold illegally, which can cause severe eye damage and are not permitted for sale in the US.
Q. What is Class 4 laser therapy, and does it work?
A. Class 4 laser therapy stimulates the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) which drives many of the processes within our cells. This increased production of ATP helps speed up the healing process within cells. Laser therapy is a safe and effective solution to relieving pain and inflammation. It helps the body to heal without invasive surgery or potentially harmful medications. Over 5,000 studies demonstrate the positive effects of laser therapy, and it has earned approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat a wide range of conditions.
Q. What is the difference between a Class 3 and Class 4 laser?
A. The use of low level lasers is increasing in medical applications. Most of these lasers are in the I, II and Class III (3B) category, meaning lasers with a maximum power of 500 milliwatts (mW). Lasers with higher power are in the Class IV category and can deliver powers between 501mW up to 60,000mW (60 Watts) or potentially even more. The most popular Class 4 Lasers produce 9 or 10 Watts, 30 Watts, 45 Watts and 60 Watts. Prices typically increase with increased power.
Q. How much does a Class 4 laser cost?
A. Class IV lasers are able to deliver up to 1,500 times more power than Class III lasers. As a result, they reduce treatment times and offer greater penetration. Class IV lasers range in price from $8,500 to $50,000. The REMY Lasers come in 9W to 90 Watt Configurations with single, dual, tri or quad wavelengths for a wide range of practitioners including Chiropractors, Podiatrists, Physical Therapists, Sports Practitioners, Functional Medicine Practitioners, Athletic Trainers, Veterinarians and Animal Care Specialists. The Remy and UltaLaser Class 4 Lasers are very popular for Chiropractors and comes in 30W, 45W and 60W outputs with 2 or 4 wavelengths.

• 650nm is the red laser wavelength, which is best known for many soft tissue issues, skin conditions, wound care, burn healing, wrinkle reduction, refining pores, elastin production and a variety of superficial treatments. Red lasers are anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-herpetic and they typically penetrate 1-2 inches depending upon the amount of power. 300mW is quite powerful for a red laser and it can be turned down if desired. It is much more preferable to the classic 10, 20 and 40mW red lasers that have been sold for the last couple of decades at over inflated prices by big name brands. Red laser therapy has been made popular in the Chiropractic industry as an effective support for neurological applications, energy pathways tracing on the scalp and body. Red laser is good for treating skiing conditions, hair-loss, rashes, sores, acne, herpes, shingles, small joints, the lymphatic system, acupoint therapy and more.
• 810nm is the optimal wavelength for activating PhotoBioModulation or PBM, which is the process that most effectively supports regeneration and long term rehabilitation. That’s why European laser specialists such as Dr. Weber and Dr Hamblin promote 810nm as the optimum wavelength, considering it to be the sweet spot for combining maximum penetration, depth and a positive photo-chemical reaction. 810nm is said to produce the maximum interaction with the mitochondria, which is the powerhouse of the cell and responsible for converting the photonic energy from the laser into ATP. Additionally, the 810nm wavelength can help red blood cells do a better job of carrying oxygen from the lungs to body cells.
Improving the delivery of oxygen can help regenerate damaged muscle and tendon tissue. A specific protein, known as hemoglobin, binds to oxygen. Exposure to the 810nm wavelength causes the rapid activation of this binding process in a way that speeds healing and recovery. The 810nm also promotes the healthy distribution of calcium, both in the liquid inside the cell and in the cell’s mitochondria. This calcium plays an important role in the cell’s activity, communication, and lifecycle.
• 980nm is the most popular in class 4 lasers for rapid pain relief and reduction of inflammation. For decades the 980nm has been the gold standard wavelength for most class 4 laser systems. At 980nm, much of the energy is converted to heat and absorbed by the blood/water in the tissue so it is significantly less efficient than 810nm at creating photobiomodulation, but superior for rapid analgesic pain relief and reduction of inflammation. The 980nm wavelength also affects the distribution of calcium by decreasing the amount of calcium within the mitochondria and increasing the calcium within the liquid of the cell. Stimulating cells with the 980nm wavelength laser therapy helps ease pain, stimulate circulation, and enhance muscle relaxation.
• 1064nm is scientifically proven to reach deeper levels through skin and tissues to stimulate production of collagen in the joints and spine. While some lasers are less efficient with certain skin types, the 1064nm wavelength is beneficial for use on all skin types. It delivers the longest and deepest penetration through the layers, with less dispersion in biological tissue, delivering extra pain melting power, and activating metabolic processes in deeper tissues, all with minimal increase in heat output, for increased speed and efficient healing. With 1064nm there is less dispersion in the biological tissue because there is a decreased amount of melanin absorption. It is also reported to improve brain performance on cognitive tasks as well as to locally upregulate cerebral oxygen metabolism and hemodynamics.
