How Does the Photizo Laser Work?
This fantastic light-therapy device functions by targeting compromised cells to re-energise them, helping to stop the process of cell death to facilitate healing. If applied soon after an acute injury (i.e., within several hours), the process of cell-death can be reversed for faster healing. This light-therapy device also helps to increase blood-flow and reduce inflammation.
Using light therapy can have the following effects when administered to various animals:
- 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

What Is the Difference Between the Silent and Regular Devices?
Photizo have two Vetcare devices available for administering light-therapy to a range of animals. This silent device is ideal for animals who are sensitive to sounds, as it doesn't beep when the button for administering light-therapy is pressed.
Also available is the non-silent Photizo Vetcare Light Therapy Device, which beeps once the button has been pressed to alert users that the light-therapy has started. For animals who are sensitive to sounds, this beeping may cause some discomfort or distress.
Apart from the beeping sound the device makes or doesn't make, these two models are the exact same.
