After surgery, the cat will have internal (for females only) and external stitches which may cause pain and, later, itching, as the wound heals. <strong>Light therapy<\/strong> can help to treat neutering or spaying post-operative wounds in cats to help them recover faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How will light therapy help treat post-operative wounds in cats?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Red and infrared light therapy<\/strong> is an effective and safe remedy for helping to <strong>reduce the pain<\/strong> and inflammation commonly associated with wounds. It can penetrate deep through the layers of the skin and because it enhances and <strong>improves circulation<\/strong> in the skin and other parts of the body, it can bring oxygen and nutrients to injured tissues, promoting healing. It helps ease pain, relieve inflammation, and <strong>protect against oxidative stress<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the benefits of using <strong>Photizo Vetcare<\/strong> light therapy to treat post-operative wounds in horses include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It is safe, natural, non-invasive, and painless.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It increases microcirculation and formation of new capillaries.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The <strong>wound area receives more oxygen and nutrients <\/strong>to help with the natural wound healing process.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Promotes lymph system activity \u2013 this helps with <strong>detoxification of the wound<\/strong> without overtaxing the lymph system and <strong>prevents lymphoedema<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cleans up dead cells<\/strong>: boosted blood circulation helps with cleaning up dead or damaged cells, including dead bacteria.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Promotes collagen<\/strong> <strong>and elastin production in the final wound healing phases<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Helps to release ATP (raw cellular energy) which <strong>gives energy to the damaged cells<\/strong> in the wound so they can heal better and faster.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"http:\/\/www.photizo.net\/nam\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2023\/09\/domestic-heterochromia-cat-wear-cone-pet-recovery-collar-after-surgery-anti-bite-lick-wound-healing-safety-800x533-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2945\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.photizo.net\/nam\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2023\/09\/domestic-heterochromia-cat-wear-cone-pet-recovery-collar-after-surgery-anti-bite-lick-wound-healing-safety-800x533-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.photizo.net\/nam\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2023\/09\/domestic-heterochromia-cat-wear-cone-pet-recovery-collar-after-surgery-anti-bite-lick-wound-healing-safety-800x533-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.photizo.net\/nam\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2023\/09\/domestic-heterochromia-cat-wear-cone-pet-recovery-collar-after-surgery-anti-bite-lick-wound-healing-safety-800x533-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.photizo.net\/nam\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2023\/09\/domestic-heterochromia-cat-wear-cone-pet-recovery-collar-after-surgery-anti-bite-lick-wound-healing-safety-800x533-1-500x333.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/www.photizo.net\/nam\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2023\/06\/page-5-1024x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1192\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.photizo.net\/nam\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2023\/06\/page-5-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.photizo.net\/nam\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2023\/06\/page-5-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.photizo.net\/nam\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2023\/06\/page-5-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.photizo.net\/nam\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2023\/06\/page-5-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.photizo.net\/nam\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2023\/06\/page-5-500x500.jpeg 500w, https:\/\/www.photizo.net\/nam\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2023\/06\/page-5-100x100.jpeg 100w, https:\/\/www.photizo.net\/nam\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2023\/06\/page-5.jpeg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><strong>Photizo Vetcare<\/strong>\u2019s healing power will help to:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Stimulate the production of collagen<\/strong>.
