WHAT IS LASER THERAPY?
K-Laser devices deliver specific wavelengths and frequencies of laser light to produce a therapeutic effect upon the body.
Effects can include increased circulation, decreased swelling, reduction of pain and enhanced tissue repair.

THE SCIENCE BEHIND LASER THERAPY
Laser therapy uses selected wavelengths of light to stimulate key molecules in cellular tissues.
Decades of medical research have identified the different wavelengths, energy levels and frequencies to induce changes in cellular metabolism, known as Photobiostimulation.
K-Laser delivers energy from superficial to deep tissues activating a cascade of photochemical reactions that promotes cell function, enabling treated tissues to accelerate the stages of the healing process and reduce pain sensation. This is a safe and non-invasive technique that uses the body’s own reparative processes.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
Inflammation is the body's natural protective response to eliminate the initial cause of cell injury and initiate tissue repair. However, it must be controlled for the healing process to progress quickly.
Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) promotes and further enhances the reduction of inflammation and pain which enables the body's natural ability to repair and heal itself.
Pain is often defined as "an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage". The unique pain reduction abilities of Laser Therapy have been extensively researched and documented in numerous clinical studies and medical papers.
While there remains lots to learn in respect to the various processes through which LLLT achieves its pain reduction, there is a wealth of knowledge available to demonstrate the effectiveness of Laser Therapy.
Immediate application of Laser Therapy post-injury can greatly reduce the recovery time and the pain/disability that accompanies the injury.

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CLASS 2, CLASS 3B & CLASS 4 LASERS?
Unlike Class 2 & 3B lasers which produce lower levels of power, Class 4 lasers produce much higher levels of power and therefore require more advanced electronics and software. They use fan cooled diodes that deliver specific wavelengths of laser light through a shielded fibre optic cable to an amiable therapy hand piece.
THE KEY FEATURES OF CLASS 4 LASERS
Delivers a Higher Therapeutic Dosage
In a Shorter Period of Time
To a Larger Volume of Tissue
To Deeper Targets
Quicker Response = More Consistent Results = More Satisfied Patients
