Class IV laser therapy is the latest development in laser technology today. Derived from the first theory by Albert Einstein written in 1916, laser therapy was later improved upon in 1967, when a professor of medicine found that with low intensity laser light, quicker wound healing occurred. The most commonly used laser today is the diode laser, which was made available to modern society through its low cost and was introduced in the 1970s.
Class IV laser therapy is made possible by the use of the K-Laser or class four laser, and has served as quite a breakthrough in the medical community. The class IV laser is intended solely for the highly specialized practice of class IV laser therapy.
Class IV laser therapy heals by using radiant light that penetrates deep into the skin. As a more powerful form of laser than in the past, the class IV laser can reach further than laser therapy has ever been able to, leading to greater healing and reduced levels of pain.
