What is the K-Laser?

Class IV Laser Therapy is proven to bio-stimulate tissue repair and growth. The Laser accelerates wound healing, and decreases inflammation, pain, as well as scar tissue formation. When it comes to pain management, Class IV Laser’s are a side effect free and non-addictive treatment that provide dramatic results.

Cellular Effects of Laser Therapy occurs when a therapeutic laser light interacts with cells, higher ATP levels are produced which then boosts DNA production, this improves cell membrane permeability and initiates the release of nitric oxide. These three events then lead to a cascade of beneficial effects increasing cellular energy and health.
