ABOUT K-LASER THERAPY

About Class 4 K-LASER

K-LASER therapy does not treat conditions, it stimulates the body’s inherent healing mechanisms via a process called photobiomodulation. Through a combination of different wavelengths, power and frequency of laser light K-LASER is able to achieve improved healing times, pain reduction, increased circulation and decreased swelling. Laser Therapy has been utilised in human and animal medicine for many decades, however recent technical advances in laser miniaturisation has allowed laser therapy to be used for a wider range of patients.


Normally patient sedation/restraint is not required during treatment, infact most pets find the experience pleasant. Treatment times vary in length depending upon the condition and the size of your animal, but the majority are less than 8 minutes. Often improvement can be seen after the first visit, however Class IV Laser Therapy treatment is cumulative in nature so for most conditions patients will require several repeat treatments for greatest benefit. The schedule of treatments will vary depending upon the condition but this is an example plan often used:


  • Three treatments in the first week
  • Two in the second week
  • One in the third week
  • Monthly booster sessions as needed

Common Questions

  • What does Class IV Laser Therapy mean?

    Class IV is the rating of the laser device used to deliver the treatment. All K-LASER CUBE devices are class IV, this is the most powerful class of laser for therapeutic use. More power means higher doses of lught energy can be delivered more quickly. 

  • Will Laser Therapy hurt my pet?

    Most patients sense a mild, soothing warmth over the treated area. Areas of pain or inflammation may be sensitive briefly after treatment before improvement is experienced.

  • How long will a treatment session take?

    It depends upon the size of the area being treated and the specific condition but typically sessions are 25-40 minutes long. If your pet has multiple conditions your session may need to be longer. 

  • How many sessions will my pet need?

    This depends on the nature of the condition being treated. For some acute conditions 1-2 treatments may be sufficient. Often chronic conditions may require an initial set of 5 to 8 treatments with booster sessions as required to control pain.

  • How long before the results are felt?

    Often improvement can be seen after the first visit, however Class IV Laser Therapy treatment is cumulative in nature so for most conditions patients will require several repeat treatments for greatest benefit.

  • Can Laser Therapy be used alongside treatments?

    With your veterinarians approval laser therapy can be used in combination with other forms of therapy, surgery, prescription drugs or dietary supplements. Laser therapy is often effective when used alongside physiotherapy and hydrotherapy treatment.

  • What if my dog won't settle?

    We use positive, enrichment-based activities such as LickiMats and snuffle mats to help dogs relax and feel comfortable in their environment. We never use restraint to make a dog settle. If a dog is finding it difficult to relax, we'll continue to support them patiently and adjust our approach to suit their individual needs.
