Both models deliver quad-wavelength Class IV laser therapy with the same FDA clearance, same software, and same wavelengths. The core difference is raw power — how much energy you can deliver per wavelength, per second, per treatment. Here's everything you need to make the right decision.
Both the 90W and 45W use the same four wavelengths, the same chassis, the same software, and the same FDA clearance. The defining difference is power output per wavelength — and that difference compounds into meaningful clinical advantages.
Power is not just about speed — it's about therapeutic depth and dose density. Higher power at each wavelength means more photons reach the target tissue per second. This is especially important for:
Deep structures: The 90W's 30W at 1064nm delivers significantly more energy to hips, knees, shoulders, and spine than 15W can. The deeper the target, the more surface-level photons are absorbed or scattered before reaching it — higher power compensates for this attenuation.
Large body areas: Treating a full lumbar spine or bilateral knee protocol with 30W per wavelength delivers meaningful dose across the entire treatment area. With 15W, more passes or longer dwell times are needed to achieve the same cumulative dose.
Higher BMI patients: Patients with more tissue mass between the surface and the target structure benefit directly from higher power — more energy reaches the treatment site.
The FX 90W delivers exactly double the infrared power at each therapeutic wavelength. This isn't a marginal improvement — it's a full doubling of the photon density your patients receive at 810nm, 980nm, and 1064nm.
Every specification, side by side. Both systems share the same chassis, display, software, and FDA clearance. The differences are in power output and included handpieces.

For $3,000 more — less than the revenue from a single week of laser treatments — the 90W gives you 2x the power at every infrared wavelength, 33% more continuous wave output, 33% more joules per minute, and an additional handpiece. On a 36-month finance, that's roughly $95 more per month for double the power. That's the cost of a single treatment session.
Your practice type, patient population, and treatment goals should drive this decision. Here's our guidance by specialty.
Chiropractors represent the largest segment of Class IV laser adopters. The 90W's 30W at 1064nm delivers maximum energy to spinal structures, disc herniations, and deep joint conditions — the bread-and-butter of chiropractic laser protocols. Double the power at 980nm also means stronger, faster pain relief that patients feel during the treatment and talk about to their friends.
Athletes and active patients present with deep muscle injuries, ligament tears, and joint trauma that demand maximum photon delivery. The 90W's 3,600 J/min delivers higher cumulative doses per session — critical for treating large muscle groups like quads, hamstrings, and shoulders. 30W at each wavelength means more energy reaching the injury site, not just heating the surface.
For plantar fasciitis, heel pain, Morton's neuroma, and onychomycosis, both models deliver excellent results. Foot and ankle structures are relatively superficial, so the 45W's 15W per wavelength provides ample therapeutic energy. The 90W includes the fungus handpiece by default; the POD 45W model is also purpose-built for podiatric use.
For wellness-focused clinics adding laser for general pain relief, inflammation management, and recovery services, the 45W provides all four wavelengths at a lower entry point. Same protocols, same software, same patient experience. If you're building laser into a multi-modality wellness model, the $3K savings can be allocated elsewhere.
The 90W's higher energy delivery means more therapeutic joules deposited in every treatment session at the same protocol settings. When you're running a high-volume laser practice, having maximum power available ensures you're delivering optimal doses for every patient type and body size, without compromise.
90W as your primary treatment unit in the main clinic, 45W for satellite locations or secondary treatment rooms. Same wavelengths and protocols ensure treatment consistency across all locations regardless of which unit is used.
Patients with more tissue between the surface and the target structure benefit directly from higher power. The 90W's 30W at 1064nm and 980nm pushes significantly more therapeutic energy through to deep structures in larger patients where lower power systems may not adequately reach the treatment site.
Starting a new practice with tight capital? The 45W delivers the same four wavelengths and same clinical scope at $3,000 less. You can always upgrade or add a 90W later as patient volume grows. The 45W still outperforms competitors costing $10-25K more.
If budget allows, the 90W gives you maximum power headroom for any clinical scenario. You'll never encounter a patient or condition where you wish you had more energy available. For $3,000 more — the cost of roughly 30-40 treatment sessions — you get double the power for the lifetime of the device.
Whether you choose the 90W or the 45W, you're getting more capability at a lower price than any major Class IV laser on the market.

REMY FX is a Class II prescription medical device available only to licensed healthcare professionals. Individual results may vary. This page is intended for healthcare professionals only.
Since purchasing The Remy, I have already started seeing positive results in my patients. They are very happy to have an alternative to invasive surgeries.
We have been using The Remy for plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendonitis. It’s been great not to have to send patients out for physical therapy anymore.
Plus, laser therapy is so easy for me to administer with The Remy. It’s lightweight and the screens are easy to navigate.
With the ability to treat pain, fungus, and perform certain surgical procedures, choosing laser therapy for my practice has been one of the best investments I have made in a long time!
I am still in practice after 50 years . I am using The Remy for pain and toenail fungus. The only complaint I have is that I wish I had introduced The Remy into my practice years ago! The Remy is one of the major breakthroughs in the treatment of podiatric pain conditions such as plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendonitis, as well as pain and inflammation.
I have had the pleasure of calling Dr. David Zuckerman, (Founder of the REMY laser) my business partner at Excellence Shock Wave Therapy for almost 20 years. David has a passion for learning and investing in technology that offers new solutions for patients, and opportunities for doctors. One thing I have seen over the years is the deep-dive David takes on learning new technology and ferreting out the true quality from over hyped medical devices. It has been one of the greatest privileges in my life to work with doctors in their office to bring the solution of high energy ESWT to patients. Nothing is more rewarding than seeing patients have relief from their pain. David and I each bring different things to the table in our company, and I know I couldn’t have had a better Medical Partner (and friend) on this journey.
I've had the Remy for a little over a month and have been loving it. It's extremely easy to use and even quicker to learn, it was so simple to get up and running but honestly I credit that to the team who helped me. I've been able to get treatments myself and have seen a drastic improvement after personally getting surgery and using the laser in addition to using pulse wave. these are extremely powerful machines that I'm extremely impressed by the quick improvement I've seen in being the patient myself. The inflammation in my leg has gone down SIGNIFICANTLY, so much so that I was able to heal 2 weeks faster than projected, my incision is closing up even faster. As a patient, it feels warm and extremely comfortable. I'd easily recommend this to anyone who's considering laser therapy especially as it's the least expensive on the market compared to K Laser, Lightforce or Aspen.
