Photizo Skincare-Wound Healing Red Light Therapy Unit
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 to ensure that any waste is quickly removed from the area.
TREATMENT OF WOUNDS
Photizo Skincare is CE approved for the treatment of wounds.
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. A laceration is defined as a tearing or rupturing of soft tissue, such as the skin. The term laceration implies a torn or jagged wound. Lacerations tend to be caused by sharp objects. The term ‘gash’ can be used for more dramatic effect because it implies a longer or deeper cut. An ‘avulsion’ refers to a wound where tissue is not just separated but torn away from the body.
Accelerating the healing process of lacerations and helping to minimise scarring can be achieved with the use of red and infrared light therapy.
HOW WILL LIGHT THERAPY HELP TREAT PUNCTURE WOUNDS?
Photizo Skincare will help to trigger natural cellular photo-biochemical reactions in the skin and will assist in:
- Faster C- section wound healing
- Cleaning up dead cells
- Increasing microcirculation and formation of new capillaries
- Boosting collagen production
- Reducing inflammation and swelling
- Reducing pain
HOW WILL LIGHT THERAPY HELP TREAT DOG BITE WOUNDS?
Dogs may bite in defence of themselves, their territory, or a member of their pack. Mother dogs will fiercely protect their puppies as well. Startling a dog, such as waking one up or a child suddenly approaching from behind, can provoke a dog bite. Whatever the reason for a dog bite, it can be painful and can become infected unless treated promptly and properly.
Accelerating the healing process can be assisted with the use of red and infrared light therapy.
Once a wound has been disinfected and where necessary, stitched by a medical professional, the healing process can be assisted by using the Photizo Skincare. It will help to trigger natural cellular photo-biochemical reactions in the skin and will assist in:
- Stimulating blood flow, which reduces the appearance of bruising
- Cleaning up dead cells
- Increasing microcirculation and formation of new capillaries
- Boosting collagen production
- Reducing inflammation
- Reducing pain
- Improving the appearance of scars
