Aspen Class IV Laser Therapy in Bradenton, FL
Aspen Class IV laser therapy is a form of therapeutic laser therapy, also called photobiomodulation, that uses focused light applied to a specific area of the body. At Renew Wellness Center, it may be considered as part of a broader plan for selected musculoskeletal concerns after an appropriate evaluation.
Focused, Noninvasive Sessions
A handheld applicator delivers light to the selected area without an incision or medication during the session.
- Noninvasive: Treatment is applied from outside the body.
- Targeted: The applicator is directed to the area selected by your provider.
- Drug-Free Session: No medication is administered as part of the laser treatment.
- Personalized Plan: Session recommendations depend on your condition and response.
A Focused Option for Selected Concerns
Laser therapy is one tool, and it is not appropriate for every condition. The team first identifies the concern, reviews relevant health information, and decides whether this treatment belongs in your plan.
Evaluate the Area
Your provider reviews your symptoms, history, and examination findings to understand the concern and its likely source.
Select a Protocol
If laser therapy is appropriate, the provider selects the treatment area and device settings for the session.
Monitor Response
Follow-up visits consider comfort, movement, function, and your response before further sessions are recommended.
Simple, Localized Treatment
During a session, the applicator is placed on or just above the selected area while light is delivered. People may notice warmth, but the experience can vary. Ask the team what to expect for your specific plan.
- No incision or injection
- Light delivered to a specific area
- Settings selected by a trained provider
- Progress reviewed before the plan continues
Top 10 Biological Effects of Aspen Class IV Laser Therapy
- Anti-Inflammation. Laser therapy reduces inflammation with vasodilation, activation of the lymphatic drainage system, and reduction of pro-inflammatory mediators. As a result, inflammation, erythema, bruising, and edema are reduced.
- Analgesic Effect. Laser therapy of diseased and damaged tissue produces a suppression of nociceptors, an increase of stimulation threshold, and an increased release of tissue endorphins. The result is a decreased patient perception of pain.
- Accelerated Tissue Repair and Cell Growth. Photons of light from lasers penetrate deeply into tissue and accelerate cellular reproduction and growth. Laser light increases the energy available to the cells so that they can take on nutrients and get rid of waste products more quickly.
- Improved Vascular Activity. Laser light significantly increases the formation of new capillaries in damaged tissue. This speeds the healing process, resulting in more rapid wound closure.
- Increased Metabolic Activity. The energy from photons of laser light is captured by chemical complexes within cells resulting in activation of enzyme systems and increased energy delivered into cellular metabolic processes.
- Trigger Points and Acupuncture Points. Laser therapy stimulates muscle trigger and acupuncture points without mechanical invasion to provide musculoskeletal pain relief.
- Reduced Fibrous Tissue Formation. Laser therapy reduces the formation of scar tissue.
- Improved Nerve Function. Slow recovery of nerve functions in damaged tissue results in numbness and impaired limbs. Laser therapy accelerates nerve cell regeneration.
- Immunoregulation. Therapy laser photons have an effect on immune systems status through stimulation of immunoglobulins and lymphocytes. Laser therapy energy is absorbed by chromophores (molecular enzymes) that react to laser light. The enzyme flavomononucleotide is activated and starts the production of ATP, which is the major carrier of cellular energy and the energy source for all chemical reactions in the cells.
- Faster Wound Healing. Laser light stimulates fibroblast development. Fibroblasts produce collagen, which is predominant in wound healing in damaged tissue. Collagen is the essential protein required to replace old tissue or to repair tissue injuries. As a result, laser therapy is effective on open wounds and burns.
