The basics
What K-Laser is
K-Laser is a Class IV therapy laser. A handpiece delivers specific wavelengths of light to the area being treated, a process known as photobiomodulation.
Andrea uses it in three ways: as a treatment on its own, as an addition to acupuncture, and for laser acupuncture, where light is used on acupuncture points instead of needles.
The process
What a session is like
Check suitability
Andrea asks about your health, medication and any history of cancer, pregnancy or light sensitivity first.
Treatment
You both wear protective glasses. Most people feel a gentle, soothing warmth. Sessions usually take 5 to 20 minutes.
Afterwards
There’s no downtime. Andrea will talk through whether further sessions make sense for you.

Questions about K-Laser
Does K-Laser therapy hurt?
Most people feel a gentle, soothing warmth during treatment.
Can it be used instead of needles?
Yes. Laser acupuncture uses light on acupuncture points instead of needles, which can suit people who are nervous of needles.
Is there any downtime?
No. You can carry on with your day straight after your session.
Who shouldn’t have it?
Andrea checks suitability first. Tell her if you’re pregnant, have a history of cancer, take medication that makes you sensitive to light, or have any concerns.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on what you’re coming in with. Andrea will talk through whether further sessions make sense, and packages are available on request.
