This advanced photobiomodulation technology is used to support pain reduction, inflammation control, and tissue healing in patients with acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions.
As part of Dr. Patel’s non-surgical, evidence-based approach, Class IV MLS laser therapy may be offered as a standalone treatment or packaged alongside regenerative and interventional procedures to optimize recovery and functional outcomes.
Robotic Class IV MLS (Multiwave Locked System) Laser Therapy is a noninvasive treatment that delivers synchronized wavelengths of laser energy into targeted musculoskeletal tissues. Unlike lower-power laser devices, Class IV MLS systems are designed to penetrate deeper into muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joint structures.
MLS technology combines continuous and pulsed emission modes to address both inflammatory and pain-related pathways. The robotic delivery system allows for consistent, controlled treatment of affected areas while maintaining patient comfort.
Treatments are performed by trained clinical staff under physician supervision and do not require direct physician involvement during administration.
Photobiomodulation works by delivering specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to tissues, where the energy is absorbed by mitochondrial chromophores such as cytochrome c oxidase. This interaction has been shown to improve cellular respiration and energy production, increase local blood flow, and modulate inflammatory signaling pathways.
By improving adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production and reducing inflammatory mediators, Class IV MLS laser therapy can help decrease pain sensitivity and support tissue repair in musculoskeletal conditions.
Robotic Class IV MLS Laser Therapy is commonly used to support care for:
At FX Regen Center, Class IV MLS laser therapy is positioned as a supportive modality within a broader regenerative medicine framework. It is not intended to replace orthobiologic or interventional procedures, but rather to complement them by improving the local tissue environment during recovery. Reducing inflammation and supporting cellular energy metabolism may help patients tolerate rehabilitation more effectively and progress toward functional recovery.
Class IV MLS laser therapy is noninvasive and typically well tolerated. Sessions are brief, often lasting several minutes per treatment area. No anesthesia or sedation is required, and there is no downtime following treatment. Treatment frequency and duration are determined based on the patient’s condition, goals, and overall care plan.
All laser therapy protocols at FX Regen Center are developed under physician guidance by Dr. Shounuck Patel. Treatments are administered by trained staff and do not require direct physician presence during each session.
Putting it all together.
The primary tool of Interventional Orthopedics is using the science of Regenerative Medicine to inject orthobiologics such as blood platelets, bone marrow cells, and adipose fat graft. Regenerative orthopedics is a subspecialty of regenerative medicine that focuses on regeneration of lost tissue, acceleration of healing, and pain relief to treat orthopedic conditions such as osteoarthritis, tendonitis, lower back pain, joint injuries, ligament injuries, sprains and strains. Regenerative orthopedics also uses cells, platelets and growth factors.
Some of the conditions that can be treated with regenerative orthopedics include many common conditions such as arthritis, lower back pain, strains, sprains, nerve injuries, and tendon and ACL ligament tears. Regenerative orthopedics may be used to avoid surgery and accelerate healing from an injury.
