How does Photizo Skincare work?

Throughout the ages, sunlight (as the earliest form of phototherapy) has been known to have both healing and wellness properties. Light is energy, and energy sustains life – it cannot be destroyed, but it can be transformed into other forms.

Photizo Skincare’s LED light therapy harnesses the healing power of red and infrared light at specific wavelengths and frequencies for accelerated healing by activating the body’s own cellular regeneration mechanisms.

LEDs, or light-emitting diodes, are non-invasive, painless, produce a gentle and soothing warmth and do not require recovery time.

Photizo Skincare allows increased blood flow into the area being treated

Acute vs Chronic wounds

Acute wounds heal through the process of inflammation, tissue formation and remodelling, which occur in a timely fashion. Chronic wounds, on the other hand, are those that have failed to progress through the phases of healing in an orderly and timely fashion and have shown no significant progress towards healing.

Open vs Closed wounds

Open wounds have exposed body tissue in the base of the wound and closed wounds have damage, without exposed tissue. Typical open wounds would be due to surgery, incisions, puncture wounds, abrasions or lacerations and ulcers. Closed wounds could typically be due to contusions, blisters or hematoma.

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.
