Looking for a Noninvasive, Painless Treatment? TRY K-LASER THERAPY
K-laser therapy, also known as low-level laser therapy, is a treatment that utilizes specific wavelengths of light to interact with tissue and is known to accelerate the healing process of a variety of clinical conditions. Unlike surgical or aesthetic lasers, it does not work by heating up tissue. K-laser therapy uses radiation intensities that induce minimal temperature elevation (no more than 0.1 to 0.5 degrees Celsius), if any. Low energy lasers have been promoted as an effective way to reduce pain. VARIETY OF TREATMENTS K-laser therapy is widely used to treat the following:

purpose of the treatment. Wavelengths between 600 and 700 nanometers are used to treat surface tissue, and wavelengths between 780 and 950 nanometers are used for deeper penetration. Patients love K-lasers. While they feel the device resting against their skin, they never feel heat, pain, or vibration. This type of therapy is completely noninvasive and painless, and normal treatments only last a few minutes. While it’s rare for patients to experience dramatic results after their first treatment, most patients see improvement after a few sessions. K-laser therapy is one option offered at Marron Wellness Center that can potentially alleviate pain symptoms without the use of surgery or drugs.

HOW IT WORKS K-lasers are handheld devices, typically the size of a flashlight. The doctor places the laser directly over the injured area for 30 seconds to several minutes depending on the size of the area being treated and the dose provided by the K-laser unit. The tissue absorbs the infrared light, which leads to a biological and chemical reaction in the damaged cells that promotes their regeneration.
