How Does Photizo Red Light Therapy Work?

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 enough energy to sustain cell function, allowing the cells to heal.

What Is the Medical Evidence for the Efficacy of Infrared Therapy?

A study by The 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 which has an effect on neural stimulation, wound healing, cancer treatment and nerve regeneration.

What Is the Medical Evidence for Near-Infrared Therapy Alleviating Pain?

In a study designed to assess the degree of pain relief obtained by applying infrared (IR) energy to the lower back of patients with chronic lower back pain it was found that the patients' pain (on a scale from 1 to 10) in the treatment group fell from 6.9 out of 10 to 3 out of 10 at the end. Patients in the placebo group fell from 7.4 out of 10 to 6 out of 10.

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 timed treatment ends. After it ends, you can move it on to the next area that requires treatment and repeat.

Are the Effects of Near-Infrared Harmful if Overused?

Numerous medical studies show that if you overuse near-infrared light therapy on a particular area, the worst thing that will happen is it will reduce the efficacy of the treatment. Infrared light at these low wavelengths will not cause burns or other irritation, however the prescribed dosage time will have the best effect for providing healing, revitalisation and pain relief.

How Do Different Photizo Products Achieve Different Effects?

The dosage of near-infrared light is what's absolutely key to the effect it has on the body. Long 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 Pain Relief has a dose of 8 joules that is ideal for alleviating pain.

What Are the Advantages of Light Therapy?

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 simple use mean that anyone can use it in the comfort of their own home.

What Part of the Spectrum of Light Does Photizo Utilise?

The Photizo Pain Relief Device uses both visible red light and near spectrum infrared to achieve remarkable alleviation of chronic pain. This 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.
