Photizo Skincare Wound Treatment Red Light Therapy Device
Backed by years of medical studies, the Photizo Skincare Wound Treatment Red Light Therapy Device makes use of near-infrared technology to help treat open and closed wounds including cuts, scrapes, bruises and minor burns. It works by accelerating ATP production in the cells, giving them the energy needed for effective self-repair.

How Does Photizo Red Light Therapy Treat Wounds?
When you sustain an injury, damaged cells in your body respond to the trauma by generating more energy to prevent cell death. Usually this energy is created from glucose converted into ATP (adenosine triphosphate), but often damaged cells aren't capable of creating enough energy to heal and as a result they fall into senescence and die. When the correct wavelength of near-infrared is applied to the skin, it encourages the mitochondria in the damaged cells to produce more energy to sustain cell function, allowing the cells to heal.
How Easy Are Photizo Handheld Near-Infrared Devices to Use?
You don't need to be a trained medical professional to use a Photizo Handheld Device, simply place the head of the device (the end containing the LED lights) on the area that requires treatment, press the power button and wait until the treatment timer ends. After it ends, you can move it on to the next area that requires treatment and repeat.
What Is the Medical Evidence for the Efficacy of Near-Infrared Therapy?
A study by National Taiwan University's Graduate Institute of Biomedical Electronics and Bioinformatics is part of the increasing evidence that infrared light therapy can carry out photostimulation and photobiomodulation. This has an effect on neural stimulation, wound healing, cancer treatment and nerve regeneration.
What Is the Evidence That Near-Infrared Therapy Promotes Wound Healing?
In a study designed to assess the degree of healing from noninvasive red and near-infrared wavelength induced photobiomodulation, it was found that red and near-infrared light-induced photobiomodulation had a positive effect on impaired dermal wound healing. To put it simply, the correct wavelengths of infrared and near-infrared light were shown to assist cellular regeneration and speed up the healing process.
What Types of Wounds Can This Photizo Phototherapy Device Treat?
The wounds this device is suitable to treat can include acute, chronic, open and closed wounds. Examples of types of wound this device would be suitable for include:
- Surgical incisions
- Grazes
- Cuts
- Bruises
- Blisters
- Minor burns
How Do Different Photizo Products Achieve Different Effects?
The dosage of near-infrared light alters the effect it has on the body, as longer doses penetrate further into the body and are able to be picked up by the cells in the blood, leading to deeper healing effects. The Photizo Wound Relief Device has a dosage of 3 joules which is ideal for wound treatment as it focuses healing nearer the wound.
Are the Effects of Near-Infrared Harmful if Overused?
Infrared light at these low wavelengths will not cause burns or other irritation even if overused, however the prescribed dosage time will have the best effect for providing healing, revitalisation and wound treatment. Numerous medical studies show that if you overuse infrared light therapy on a particular area, the worst thing that will happen is a reduced efficacy of the treatment.
What Are the Advantages of Light Therapy for Rehabilitation?
Being able to use a non-invasive, drug-free, handheld device to help reduce chronic and long term pain is a phenomenal development in modern medicine. Having no surgery recovery time, no drug side effects and great ease-of-use mean that anyone can use this device in the comfort of their own home.
What Part of the Spectrum of Light Does Photizo Utilise?
The Photizo Wound Treatment Device uses both visible red light and near spectrum infrared to assist with the natural healing process. Near-infrared is the opposite end of the spectrum to harmful wavelengths of light such as ultraviolet.
Are Photizo Red Light Therapy Devices Medically Certified?
All Photizo light therapy devices have been CE certified, showing that they meet the General Safety and Performance Requirements (GSPR) of all relevant European Medical Device Regulations and can legally be classified and sold as a medical device in the European Union.
