What is K-Laser© Therapy in Wandsworth

Laser therapy uses selected wavelengths of light to stimulate key molecules in human tissues. Decades of medical research have identified the wavelengths, energy level and frequencies that induce changes in cellular metabolism (Photobiostimulation), for instance melanin absorbing sunlight changes skins pigmentation. K-Laser delivers energy from superficial to deep tissues activating a cascade of photochemical reactions that promotes cell function, enabling treated tissues to accelerate the stages of the healing process and reduce pain sensation. This is a safe and non-invasive technique that uses the body’s own reparative processes.

How does it work?

Laser therapy uses selected wavelengths of light to stimulate key molecules in tissues. This activates a cascade of photochemical reactions that boosts cellular metabolism, also improving circulation, oxygenation and absorption of nutrients.

This creates an optimal healing environment for tissues to recover. As the injured area returns to normal, function is restored and pain is relieved.

Laser therapy is proven successful on a vast range of applications - from acute injuries to chronic pain, from musculoskeletal conditions to wounds.

It is a safe and non-invasive technique that promotes the body’s own reparative processes.

Are there any side effects?

The therapy doesn’t induce allergic reactions because it doesn’t introduce anything foreign into the body. Light is energy, and laser therapy ‘simply’ provides carefully calibrated energy to tissues to boost their natural reparative processes.

The treatment is not painful to the vast majority of patients.

When treated with a Class IV laser you can perceive a warm sensation that patients describe as soothing and relaxing - whilst treatments with the weaker Class IIIb lasers can’t be perceived.

Adverse reactions are very rare, mild and temporary. A moderate increase in pain may happen in patients with nerve hypersensitivity during the first couple of sessions.

There are no known side effects.

Laser Therapy is device dependent

Models and brands can differ significantly. Some devices have limited therapeutic action and produce mixed outcomes.

Devices categorised as ‘Class IIIb’ can emit a very limited amount of energy, requiring long sessions to produce the therapeutic dosage needed.

The new generation of lasers, called ‘Class IV’, are more powerful with applications taking only few minutes.

The most advanced therapeutic Class IV laser, featuring 4 different wavelengths, has a success rate of 90% and 0,07% adverse reaction (NHS data).

Is Laser Therapy for me?

Laser therapy is suitable for any age group, skin tone, and body size. From athletes to pregnant women, from injured children to infirm elderly people: an advanced therapeutic.

Laser can tailor the treatment to the specific individual.

It’s ideal for long-term maintenance of incurable conditions such as osteoarthritis, as an alternative or in conjunction with ongoing medication.

In elite sport teams, athletes are treated proactively to prevent the onset of inflammations and tissue damages during training.

A course of treatments can span from 4 sessions for acute cases, to 12 or more for chronic conditions, with ideally two applications a week.

Laser therapy is becoming increasingly popular as more and more people are suffering from acute and chronic pain so are seeking a less invasive method of treatment.

Don't take our word for it:

No longer in pain

"As a professional stunt man, I pick up an awful lot of injuries along the way. One particularly injury was a broken ankle I had, and although I was back on my feet in 2 weeks I was in a lot of pain. I had the pain for almost two years, until Stephen brought his laser... Within 3 sessions I was no longer in pain doing normal everyday things. Three sessions later, the pain was completely gone. I even managed to do a 16-foot jump and land on my feet as part of one of my stunts - after such a long time injured it felt like a massive breakthrough. I am so grateful for how the laser has helped."
