HOW DOES
IT WORK?
The K-laser is a Class IV laser which produces low-level laser light in the red & near infra-red part of the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation.
It is different from natural light in that it is:
-
one precise colour
-
it is coherent (it travels in a straight line)
-
monochromatic (a single wavelength)
-
and polarized (it concentrates its beam in a defined location or spot).
These properties allow laser light to penetrate the surface of the skin with minimal heating effect, no damage to the skin, and no known side effects. Laser light directs biostimulative light energy to the body's cells which they convert into chemical energy to promote natural healing and pain relief. The K-laser is unique in producing 4 frequencies of light that target different tissues very specifically.
Laser light is quickly absorbed by the tissues it passes through, making it less effective. Some cold lasers only penetrate a few millimetres, but the K-laser is the most effective low level laser available, using Intermittent Pulse Frequencies to penetrate through to the deeper target tissues, such as backs and hips.
High Power vs. Low Power Medical Lasers
There are two types of medical laser: high power and low power.
High power lasers are used to cut through tissue.
Low-level lasers, on the other hand, are used to stimulate tissue repair through a process of bio-stimulation. Low-level laser therapy is the application of red and near infrared light over injuries or wounds to improve soft tissue & bone healing and relieve both acute and chronic pain.
Low-level therapy uses laser light energy to direct
bio-stimulative light energy to the body's cells without injuring or damaging them in any way. The therapy is precise and accurate; and offers safe and effective treatment for a wide variety of conditions.
How Does Class 4 Laser Therapy Work?
Class IV lasers supply energy to the body in the form of non-thermal photons of light. Light waves in the near infrared ranges penetrate the body deepest of all light waves in the visible spectrum, where they optimize the immune responses of our blood, opening up the small blood vessels to deliver nutrients and remove inflammatory mediators.
Within the body are “chromophores” which react to the specific frequencies of laser light in a positive way which is ongoing after the treatment finishes. This is called a biomodulatory effect. One specific frequency of laser light stimulates haemoglobin to release oxygen to the tissues, and another frequency stimulates the enzyme cytochrome C oxidase to create ATP, a source of cellular energy. There is an acceleration of natural healing, an increase in growth factors and stem cells in the area, and anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effect and complex effects on the nerves to reduce pain and encourage normal nerve function.
There are thousands of published studies over 40 years worldwide demonstrating the clinical effectiveness of Laser Therapy.
