Laser (Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation)
When tissue (skin, vessels, nerves, fascia, muscle, bones and/or joints) absorbs light and alters its physiology its called a photochemical or Photobiologic event.
This video explains the mechanism behind K-Laser class 4 laser therapy treatments
Red Laser light, highly useful for treating superficial wounds, cuts and abrasions.
Infrared Light penetrates much deeper and are able to go several centimetres, into the body which will reach most tissue injuries, Reducing pain, Reducing inflammation, and Enhance tissue healing – both in hard and soft tissues, including muscles, ligaments, or even bone.
Infrared Wavelengths used in the K Laser allow for targeting specific areas of the body. The K Laser is unique in that it is the only Class 4 therapy laser that utilizes three infrared wavelengths, allowing for deep penetration into the body to reach areas such as the spine and hip. Power is measured in Watts.
Photobiomodulation is the use of specific wavelengths of light (red and near-infrared) region of the electromagnetic spectrum which stimulates body tissues and creating therapeutic effects. Veterinary K Laser therapy is used to reduce inflammation and pain with no adverse effects, improves wound healing, ulcers and injuries to soft tissue such as ligaments, tendons, muscles and periosteum of bone and also regenerates damaged cells
K Laser Therapeutic Effects
During each painless treatment, depending if its an incision site, wound, dental, musculature, acute or chronic, cat, dog, horse or exotic animal, K-Laser is the most advanced Class IV Therapy Laser in the world, the laser energy increases circulation, drawing water, oxygen and nutrients to the damaged area, creating an optimal healing environment to reduce inflammation, muscle spasms, stiffness, pain and improve healing. As the injured area returns to normal health, Flexibility and Function are restored, pain is relieved, circulation increased.
Laser Therapy can help with many conditions.
