Comparing Class III and Class IV Lasers in Pain Management

Understanding the differences between Class III and Class IV lasers can help patients make informed decisions about their treatment options.

Class III Lasers:

• Emit less power, which means they penetrate less deeply and may require more frequent sessions.
• Often used for superficial treatments.

Class IV Lasers:

• Higher power allows for deeper tissue penetration, offering quicker results.
• Typically used for more severe or deep-seated pain conditions.

By comparing these two types of lasers, patients can better understand their treatment options and what to expect in terms of outcomes from each type of laser therapy.
