K-Laser Treatment
What is K-Laser therapy?
Laser therapy is the use of specific wavelengths of red and near infrared light to create therapeutic effects. The power can be modulated and pulsed, and has no negative effect on normal tissue.
What can the K-Laser treat?
The K-Laser is the first FDA-cleared Class IV programmable laser that delivers power high enough to cause healing changes to diseased and
Damaged tissues, relieve pain, and reduce inflammation. Other therapeutic applications which have shown promising results are:
- Anti-Inflammation
- Anti-Pain
- Accelerated Tissue Repair and Cell Growth
- Improved Vascular Activity to speed up healing and reduce scar tissue
- Increased Metabolic Activity increased blood flow to cells
- Pain-relief through stimulation of acupuncture points
- Reduces Fibrous Tissue Formation (scar tissue)
- Improves Nerve Function
- Wound healing through increased collagen production
How is the K-Laser different than other laser therapy devices?
Low laser therapy devices are Class III lasers or “cold lasers”. Their power
Ranges from 5 milliwatts to 500 milliwatts. The K-Laser is a high-powered
Therapy device ranging up to 6,000 milliwatts; however the K-Laser is
power adjustable from 100 milliwatts to 6,000 milliwatts allowing for a
wide range of treatment protocols. The power and penetration of the
K-Laser system is not attainable with cold laser devices.
What does it feel like to receive K-Laser therapy?
You don’t really feel too much. The therapy does not cause any pain or
discomfort for the patient and there is no anesthesia required for the
procedure. The patient will only experience a slight warming or tingling
sensation.
How many treatments are necessary?
Each patient and condition being treated are different, but usually 6-10
sessions are sufficient to achieve a treatment goal. Although positive
results are often seen after the first two treatments, each K-Laser
treatment only takes 2-10 minutes depending on the size and condition
being treated. Some chronic cases may require regular scheduled
boosters after the initial treatment plan
