The Remy Class IV Laser for Pain Management

Class IV laser therapy is used for the relief of pain, to accelerate healing and decrease inflammation. When light source is placed against the skin, photons penetrate several centimetres down and are absorbed by the mitochondria (the energy producing part of a cell). This energy results in the restoration of normal cell function.

The main goal of laser therapy is to stimulate the cell to perform its natural functions, but at an enhanced rate.

Anti-Inflammation

Laser therapy reduces significantly the swelling caused by bruising or inflammation. In fact, the laser light increases the energy available to the cell so that the cell can take on nutrients faster and get rid of waste products. It also enables the clls to utilise more oxygen.

Anti-Pain (Analgesic)

Laser therapy has a high beneficial effect on nerve cells which block pain transmitted by these cells to the brain and which decreases nerve sensitivity. Also, due to less inflammation, there is less swelling and less pain.

Improved Vascular Activity – Improves Wound Healing

Laser light will significantly increase the formation of new capillaries in damaged tissue that speeds up the healing process, closes wounds quickly and reduces scar tissue.

Fungal Nails

Laser therapy offers an effective, safe option for treating fungal toenail without the side effects of many oral
medications. Studies relate an average 70-80% success rate in clearing toenail fungus over a 6 months
period.

Warts and Verrucas

The energy of the laser kills the verruca virus by entering into the capillary bed and causing coagulation and destruction of the virus. The process also stimulates an immune response. It usually takes a number of treatments and it varies from patient to patient.
