Once absorbed, the light energy is converted to cellular energy. Certain wavelengths of light enhance the functioning of mitochondria, which takes in nutrients, breaks them down and creates energy molecules for the cell. This improves the functioning of the whole cell which results in starting a series of metabolic events such as improved healing, the reduction of inflammation, enhanced production of collagen and elastin, increased circulation and the formation of new capillaries and increased activity in the lymph system.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;What can I use red and infrared light therapy for?&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1580457537758-d5662c99-5ebd&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/old.photizo.net\/taiwan\/photizo-pain-relief\/\">Treatment of pain and inflammatory conditions<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/old.photizo.net\/taiwan\/photizo-skincare\/\">Improves wound healing and other skin conditions<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/old.photizo.net\/taiwan\/photizo-blush\/\">Create smoother, younger looking skin<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/old.photizo.net\/taiwan\/photizo-sport\/\">Treatment of sport related injuries<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/old.photizo.net\/taiwan\/photizo-vetcare\/\">Treatment of pain, muscle and skin conditions for animals<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;How long does it take to work?&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1580457676135-3a7ff729-a88a&#8221;][vc_column_text]Depending on the condition you are treating, you can experience a reduction in symptoms from the 3rd to 5th treatment session.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;How often should I use my Photizo device?&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1580457720530-4f9288ea-679b&#8221;][vc_column_text]The frequency of sessions depends on the condition, the severity of the condition and if it is being used in conjunction with other medicines. Some treatment plans require use daily, others a few times per week. Please refer to the instructions for use supplied with the Photizo devices.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Can red and infrared LED light therapy cause harm?&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1580457765301-791a4e53-a87c&#8221;][vc_column_text]Unlike most conventional\u00a0treatments,\u00a0red light therapy\u00a0is safe, non-invasive, uses no chemicals or drugs, and is not associated with\u00a0harmful\u00a0side effects.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;What does it feel like when applied?&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1580457788405-430f3073-e0d7&#8243;][vc_column_text]The majority of people won\u2019t feel anything, but some have reported feelings of immediate relief, to a sensation of tingling and mild heat, minor itching and light aching. It is beneficial to note that each sensation recorded has been minor.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Is red and infrared LED light therapy the same as laser therapy?&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1580457813128-88c68b9b-24a2&#8243;][vc_column_text]Although low level laser therapy and LED light therapy are both considered as Photobiomodulation, the main difference is in the way they deliver the light. Laser light is coherent and LED light is non-coherent. The difference between coherent and non-coherent light is easy to see. If a bright flashlight with an incandescent or LED bulb is directed toward a distant wall in a dark room, the beam projected upon the wall will be diffuse and widely spread out. Yet if a laser pointer or therapy tool is directed in this way you will only see a tiny spot on the wall. That is because the beam remains coherent over long distances.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;What are the side effects of red and infrared LED light therapy?&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1580457833468-fdf461e1-1c43&#8243;][vc_column_text]We have never received any report of side effects from our clients.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Is red and infrared LED light therapy FDA approved?&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1580457851736-119e8803-1ab0&#8243;][vc_column_text]The FDA has approved red and infrared light therapy for treatment of certain conditions. The Photizo Pain Relief device is registered with the FDA as a 510(k) exempt device.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;What is the difference between red and infrared light therapy?&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1580457872005-ee80a4a4-0703&#8243;][vc_column_text]Red light is visible (610-750nm) and near infrared light is invisible (750 and 1mm).<\/p>\n<p>Red light\u00a0is visible and is most effective for use on the surface of the skin. Infrared light\u00a0is invisible and is effective for use on the surface of the skin as well as penetration into the body.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Can you get too much red and infrared LED light therapy?&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1580457891273-5c29eb71-5c41&#8243;][vc_column_text]Overstimulation of cells with red and infrared light can slow down healing.

Severity of the condition, skin tone and build of user\/patient can have an influence. For instance, light penetrates easier through light skin than dark skin.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Can red and infrared LED light therapy cause skin cancer?&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1580457934215-7d4017e2-34d6&#8243;][vc_column_text]No. There are no UV rays in red and infrared LED light therapy. Exposure to UV radiation is the main factor that\u00a0causes skin\u00a0cells to become\u00a0cancer cells. Almost all\u00a0skin cancers\u00a0(approximately 99% of non-melanoma skin cancers and\u00a095% of\u00a0melanoma) are\u00a0caused\u00a0by too much UV radiation from the sun or other sources such as solaria (solariums, sunbeds,\u00a0and\u00a0sun lamps).[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Can red and infrared LED light therapy damage your eyes?&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1580457953991-7c47eedd-827e&#8221;][vc_column_text]The red and infrared light will not damage your eyes but it is advisable not to shine your Photizo device directly in your eyes, just as you never look directly towards the sun.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Does red and infrared LED light therapy work through clothes or other material?&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1580457973154-561b7cd0-8780&#8243;][vc_column_text]No. Light is blocked by clothes. For best results the treatment LEDs should be in direct contract with the skin, unless treating wounds. Then the lens should be held a few millimetres away from the wound.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Do I need to do anything before using my Photizo red and infrared LED light therapy device? &#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1580457996686-d905ad92-5575&#8243;][vc_column_text]Ensure that your skin is clean and remove any makeup if using on the face and neck. Also clean the lens to prevent cross-contamination if the unit is used by more than one person or animal, in the case of the Photizo Vetcare.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Does red and infrared LED light treatment work equally well on all skin types? &#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1580458015825-90823cac-a3ee&#8221;][vc_column_text]Everyone\u2019s skin is different.
