What Is the Purpose of the Red-Light Therapy Device?
With the Vetcare Photizo Unit, you can administer red-light therapy to a range of animals. This helps to facilitate quicker healing and offer optimal comfort by soothing chronic, acute, and post-operative pains, as well as treating skin conditions and musculoskeletal injuries.
Conditions that red-light therapy can help to manage include (but are not limited to):
- Wounds and lacerations
- Abscesses

- Musculoskeletal overuse injuries
- Post-operative aches, pains, and scarring
- Haematomas
- Acute and chronic pain
- Bruising (both deep-tissue and general bruising)
How Does the Photizo Laser Work?
Red-light therapy targets the body's cells with the aim of energising compromised cells to help prevent cell-death, and aid the healing process. When used soon after an acute injury, red-light therapy can reverse the process of cell-death to support optimal healing. Light therapy can also help to increase blood-flow and reduce inflammation in targeted areas.
Administration of light-therapy to various animals can have the following effects:
- Faster cellular regeneration
- Helps to prevent cell death if applied within 4 - 6 hours of injury
- Reduces inflammation and increases lymphatic activity
- Increases circulation
- Increases immune system activity
- Provides pain relief, and calms animals by increasing endorphins and serotonin
- Regulated collagen production
- Facilitates healing of corneal ulcers and sinusitis
