Class IV Red Light Laser therapy is FDA-cleared and very safe, but it is not appropriate for everyone. Before you purchase a package, please confirm that none of the following apply to you.
Do not purchase if any of these apply
- You are being treated for cancer, or have a known or suspected tumour in the area to be treated
- You are pregnant and the area to be treated is the abdomen or lower back
- You have a pacemaker or other implanted electronic device
- You have a photosensitive condition, such as lupus or porphyria
- You take medication that increases sensitivity to light — some antibiotics, retinoids and diuretics do
- The area to be treated has an active infection, an open wound, or has had a steroid injection within the past week
If any of these apply to you, please don't purchase online. Call us on (231) 944-6541 and we'll talk it through. Some of these rule out treatment entirely; others simply change how we approach it.
You are reviewed by a clinician before treatment
Every patient is assessed by a licensed physical therapist at their first visit. If we determine that laser therapy is not appropriate for you, we refund your purchase in full — the entire amount, not just unused sessions. You are never left holding something you cannot use.
What to expect
Sessions take 5 to 15 minutes depending on the area treated. You will feel a gentle warmth on the skin. There are no needles, no electrical stimulation, no medication and no downtime, and you can drive yourself home afterwards.
Payment and scheduling terms
- Class IV laser therapy is billed out of pocket. It is generally not covered by Medicare or commercial insurance. HSA and FSA cards are usually accepted — check with your plan administrator.
- Sessions must be scheduled within 90 days of purchase.
- Risk-free promise: if you report no meaningful improvement by your third session, we refund every session you have not used.
- Individual results vary. No specific outcome is promised.
- Payments are processed securely by Stripe. Depending on the account used, your card statement may show a name other than Superior Physical Therapy — your confirmation email will make clear what the charge is for.
