Dr. Mike has been using Class IV Laser Therapy in his practice since 2005. Class IV La ser Therapy accelerates tissue healing, breaks down scar tissue, decreases inflammation, and decreases pain. Our 60-Watt Class IV Laser is about 8,000 times more powerful than the average cold laser, so you’re going to get much deeper tissue penetration, which means better results.
