Water in our pet’s blood transports oxygen to the cells, carries waste away, and absorbs very well at 980nm. The energy created from absorbing a photon gets converted to heat, creating a temperature
gradient at the cellular level, stimulating micro-circulation, and bringing more oxygen-fuel to the cells.
Wavelengths determine a therapeutic laser’s depth of penetration and power determines the dosage delivered to depth in tissues.
Power (Watts) is the rate of energy delivery and energy is measured in Joules (1 Watt = 1 Joule per second). Higher power at the surface will deliver more energy to the desired depth.
For Illustration:
1 Watt laser:
60 seconds to deliver 18 Joules
to an 8 cm depth
20 Watt laser:
3 seconds to deliver 18 Joules
to an 8 cm depth
The higher-powered Platinum
Series will deliver therapeutic
doses to deeper targets in a
shorter amount of time.

Acute or chronic, superficial or deep, laser therapy can help. By accelerating the healing process with increased circulation and enhanced tissue repair, laser therapy decreases inflammation and pain. In the management of chronic and acute pain, K-Laser USA is the preferred choice for thousands of practitioners worldwide.

Laser therapy, also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or cold laser therapy, is a non-invasive medical treatment that uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate cellular activity, promote healing, and relieve pain in various conditions.
Laser therapy works by delivering focused light energy to the targeted area of the body. This light energy penetrates the tissues, stimulating the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is the energy source for cells. This increased energy helps promote cellular regeneration, reduces inflammation, and accelerates the healing process.
Laser therapy can be beneficial in treating a wide range of conditions, including musculoskeletal injuries (such as sprains, strains, and tendonitis), arthritis, back and neck pain, sports injuries, neuropathy, wound healing, post-surgical recovery, and more. It is also used for cosmetic purposes like skin rejuvenation and hair growth stimulation.
Yes, laser therapy is generally considered safe when administered by trained professionals. The treatment is non-invasive, painless, and does not require any medication or surgery. However, it is important to disclose any pre-existing medical conditions or medications you are taking to ensure the treatment is appropriate for you.
No, laser therapy is a painless procedure. Patients generally experience a mild, soothing warmth or tingling sensation during the treatment. There are no needles, incisions, or recovery time associated with laser therapy.
