Multi Radiance Lasers

Class IV continuous lasers deliver constant output (typically 10,000–60,000mW average power). This provides high total energy delivery for fast treatments, though thermal management is important.

Super pulsed lasers (TerraQuant/MR4) deliver high peak power (up to 50,000mW) but in ultra-short bursts—billionths of a second. The average power over time is lower, but Multiradiance claims the pulsing methodology offers therapeutic advantages.

Both technologies have strong clinical followings. Many practitioners choose based on their treatment philosophy, patient volume, and specific applications. Some practices use both types for different situations.

TQ Solo ($2,495) – Best for home users, entry-level practitioners, or anyone who values portability. Full technology at the lowest price.

MR4 Activ ($7,995) – Best for sports medicine, athletic trainers, or practitioners who need portability plus blue laser technology.

MR4 Pro ($6,995) – Best for new practices with growth plans. Desktop with upgrade path to 3 emitters.

MR4 LS50 ($7,495) – Best for practices that want maximum power. 50kW peak with larger treatment head.

MR4 Elite ($8,495) – Best overall value for established practices. Includes both emitters for any application.

MR4 LaserStim ($8,995) – Best for practices that bill insurance for eStim or want diagnostic point-finding capability.

Yes. The TQ Solo uses the same super-pulsed technology at the same 25,000mW peak power as the MR4 Pro desktop. It includes all four radiances: super pulsed laser, infrared SLDs, red light, and magnetic field.

The main differences with desktop systems are: (1) the LS50 has 50,000mW peak power versus 25,000mW; (2) desktop consoles have dual ports for running two emitters simultaneously; (3) desktop systems are better suited for high-volume clinical use.

For home users and many practitioners, the TQ Solo delivers identical therapeutic benefit at a fraction of the cost.

Super pulsed means the laser fires in extremely short bursts—typically 100–200 nanoseconds (billionths of a second). During each pulse, the peak power is high (25,000–50,000mW), but the pulse is very brief.

Multiradiance claims this creates high "photon density"—a concentrated burst of light energy during each pulse. They state this pulsing methodology optimizes energy delivery while the brief pulse duration minimizes thermal accumulation.

Between pulses, tissue has time to dissipate energy before the next pulse arrives. This "duty cycle" is central to the super pulsed approach to laser therapy.

Typical treatments range from 3–10 minutes depending on the condition and treatment area. The preset protocols on the device calculate optimal treatment times automatically based on the selected condition.

Because of the high peak power and efficient delivery, TerraQuant/MR4 treatments are often completed quickly—typically achieving results in minutes.

Different wavelengths and technologies have different characteristics and biological effects:

905nm super pulsed laser – The primary therapeutic wavelength. High peak power for ATP production and pain reduction.

875nm infrared SLDs – Broader spectrum coverage. Improves circulation and prepares tissue.

660nm red light – Surface-level anti-inflammatory effects. Accelerates wound healing.

Static magnetic field – Maintains cellular ionic environment. Supports overall healing response.

Working together, these four technologies create a more complete therapeutic effect than any single modality alone—treating from skin surface to deep tissue simultaneously.

The LaserStim adds two features on top of standard laser therapy:

Skin conductivity detection – The device can measure changes in skin conductivity to help locate problem areas, trigger points, or areas of inflammation. This takes guesswork out of treatment positioning.

Electrical stimulation (eStim) – Delivers eStim simultaneously with laser therapy. This is significant for insurance billing because many insurers will reimburse eStim as a separate line item from laser therapy. One treatment session, two billable modalities.

For practices focused on maximizing insurance reimbursement, the LaserStim can pay for itself through the additional billing codes.

Yes. TerraQuant/MR4 accessories expand your treatment capabilities:

Available accessories include pinpoint probes for precise trigger point work, large treatment emitters for covering bigger areas, and various specialized attachments. The MR4 Pro can be upgraded from one emitter to three emitters over time.

The desktop consoles have two ports, allowing simultaneous use of two emitters—treat multiple sites at once or use different emitter types on the same patient.
