What is K-Laser?

Drug-Free Pain Relief

Benefits of K-Laser Therapy for Animals

K-Laser therapy helps relieve pain, reduce swelling, improve circulation, enhance tissue repair, and increase mobility. Using specific wavelengths, it penetrates up to 4 inches deep, boosting cellular metabolism. This accelerates nutrient absorption, waste elimination, and ATP production, promoting faster healing in tendons, ligaments, and muscles. It also affects nerve cells, reducing pain perception and, in some cases, may even eliminate the need for medication.

Proven Effectiveness of K-Laser Therapy

K-Laser is backed by hundreds of studies demonstrating its clinical effectiveness in both human and animal treatments. It benefits various conditions, including:

Wound healing (surgical & injury)
Osteoarthritis, joint pain & degenerative diseases
Hip & elbow dysplasia
Cruciate disease
Burns
Post-surgical pain
Soft tissue injuries (muscle, tendon, ligament strains & tears)
Fractures
Nerve & spinal cord issues
Lameness
Hematoma & bruising
Lymphangitis

Not All Lasers Are Created Equal!

Laser therapy is an evolving treatment in veterinary medicine, but not all lasers are effective. Many on the market are underpowered and lack scientific backing.

For true therapeutic results, a laser must have at least 8 watts of power to penetrate all tissues. Only a few lasers meet this standard, and they are significantly more advanced than lower-powered alternatives.

Our K-Laser Cube 4 is a 20-watt laser, the most powerful therapy K-Laser available in veterinary and human medicine. It is also the only laser with four separate frequencies, unlike most others that use just one or two. These multiple frequencies allow for targeted tissue stimulation, leading to faster and more effective results.

K-Laser treatments build over time, with the number of sessions depending on your animal’s condition. While some improvement may be noticeable after one visit, multiple treatments ensure the best outcome. Contact us for a personalised treatment plan.

Speeds up the healing process

While Class III LASERs penetrate only a few millimeters, the Class IV K-Laser can penetrate over 4 inches deep into muscular skeletal tissue

Efficient and personalised treatment

With advanced technology, K-Laser therapy sessions are quick and effective—lasting 2-8 minutes for dogs and up to 20 minutes for horses. This efficiency allows practitioners to spend more time understanding each patient’s needs and creating personalised treatment plans for optimal care.

The Science

Why Wavelength Matters

Light’s wavelength not only defines its color in the visible spectrum but also affects how deeply it can penetrate the body. Generally, longer wavelengths reach deeper into the body compared to shorter ones. Additionally, different wavelengths are absorbed more efficiently by specific body structures.

Wavelengths <445 nm

Light with a wavelength under 445 nm interacts efficiently with molecules at a systemic level and is more effectively absorbed by melanin and hemoglobin compared to infrared light. This wavelength is highly effective against various bacterial strains, including MRSA (Staphylococcus aureus), Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Porphyromonas gingivalis, and Helicobacter pylori, making it valuable for its antiseptic and bactericidal properties. It also delivers excellent results in tissue incisions for both surgical and vascular procedures while aiding in immune system activation

Wavelengths <660 nm

This wavelength is efficiently absorbed by melanin in the skin, allowing for a high concentration of energy in the superficial tissue layers. Laser therapy at this wavelength is highly effective for wound healing and scar tissue management, as it helps prevent bacterial growth while promoting cellular regeneration.

Wavelengths Below 800 nm

K-LASER research found that Cytochrome C enzymes absorb light most effectively at 800 nm. Cytochrome C oxidase, the final enzyme in the respiratory chain, plays a crucial role in converting molecular oxygen into ATP. Each oxygen-reduction cycle produces an ATP molecule. When photons from laser therapy are absorbed, this process speeds up, boosting ATP production and enhancing cell division and healing.

Wavelengths <905 nm

At 905 nm, oxygen release in the blood varies, with faster release requiring more oxygen delivery to cells for natural healing. This wavelength is absorbed by hemoglobin, water, melanin, and Cytochrome C oxidase, increasing oxygen availability to cells and supporting the healing process.

Wavelengths <1064 nm

The 1064 nm wavelength creates a dual effect by being absorbed by both melanin and water, two key chromophores. This combination enhances its effectiveness, making it particularly useful for treatments. Since it penetrates deeper than melanin, it is ideal for treating darker skin types, where shorter wavelengths are absorbed too quickly and cannot reach deeper tissues effectively.
