Understanding Class 4 Laser Therapy

What Is Class 4 Laser Therapy?

Class 4 therapeutic laser systems deliver controlled light energy to a targeted treatment area. “Class 4” refers to the laser's power and safety classification rather than a diagnosis, treatment indication or expected outcome.

Depending on the specific device and FDA-cleared indications, therapeutic laser treatment may be used for temporary relief of certain minor muscle and joint aches, pain and stiffness, among other labeled uses.

Treatment parameters such as wavelength, power, treatment time and delivery settings depend on the device, treatment area and clinician-directed protocol.

  • Non-invasive application
  • Infrared light energy
  • Targeted treatment area
  • Adjustable treatment parameters
  • Clinician-directed protocols
  • Protective eyewear required
  • No needles or injections
  • Individualized treatment planning
FDA-Cleared Uses

How Therapeutic Laser May Fit Into Pain & Mobility Care

Minor Muscle & Joint Pain


Certain infrared therapeutic laser systems have FDA-cleared indications for temporary relief of minor muscle and joint aches and pain.

Joint Stiffness & Arthritis-Related Discomfort

Depending on the specific device labeling, indications may include temporary relief of minor joint stiffness and minor pain and stiffness associated with arthritis.

Muscle Spasm & Relaxation


Certain cleared systems are indicated for temporary relief of muscle spasm and temporary relaxation of muscle tissue.

Local Circulation


Certain therapeutic infrared laser devices are cleared for temporarily increasing local blood circulation in the area where treatment is applied.

A Broader Approach to Pain & Mobility

The Treatment Should Fit the Problem — Not the Other Way Around

BioRenew does not approach every pain or mobility concern with the same device or procedure. The clinical team first considers your symptoms, functional limitations, relevant findings and individual goals.


Laser therapy may be used independently or as an adjunct to other clinician-directed pain and mobility strategies when its cleared uses and clinical role are appropriate for the individual patient.

Laser therapy may also be incorporated into a broader clinician-directed care plan surrounding another procedure when appropriate. This does not mean the laser itself is being represented as regenerating cartilage, rebuilding tendons, repairing nerves or guaranteeing tissue healing.

  • Temporary local circulation increase

Is Pain or Stiffness Starting to Limit Your Activities?

Choosing a treatment should start with understanding the problem, not simply selecting a technology. A clinical evaluation can help identify factors that may be contributing to your pain or mobility limitation and determine appropriate next steps.

Important Information: “Class 4” refers to a laser safety and output classification and does not by itself establish a treatment indication.

Therapeutic infrared laser systems may be cleared for defined uses including temporary relief of certain minor muscle and joint aches, pain and stiffness, temporary relief of minor arthritis-related pain and stiffness, temporary relief of muscle spasm, temporary muscle relaxation and temporary increases in local blood circulation. Laser therapy does not guarantee a particular clinical outcome. BioRenew does not represent Class 4 laser therapy as a cure for disease or guarantee that it will regenerate cartilage, repair damaged tissue or eliminate pain. Individual responses vary.
