Class IV laser therapy: Advanced healing through light

What is Class IV Laser Therapy?

Class IV Laser Therapy is a Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) engineered by Summus Medical Laser. Summus created the Platinum 4, a Class IV Laser therapy, utilizing photo biomodulation, which represents a breakthrough in natural healing technology. This safe, non-invasive treatment uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to activate your body’s natural repair processes at the cellular level.

Unlike high-powered surgical lasers that cut or destroy tissue, the Summus Class IV Laser technology delivers gentle, therapeutic light energy that stimulates healing without any heat or damage to your skin. Research spanning over 40 years has demonstrated LLLT’s ability to reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and promote healing in a range of musculoskeletal conditions.

How does the Summus Platinum 4 laser therapy work?

The science behind the Summus laser technology centers on cytochrome c oxidase, a vital enzyme in your cellular mitochondria. When therapeutic light photons are absorbed by this enzyme, they trigger increased energy production (ATP), reduce inflammation, and accelerate tissue repair. This cellular activation leads to:

  • Enhanced blood circulation and oxygen delivery
  • Accelerated tissue regeneration
  • Reduced inflammation and swelling
  • Natural pain relief
  • Improved cellular metabolism
