Almost instant pain relief from rheumatoid arthritis and muscular spasms
As a practicing counselling psychologist, Dr. Matrié van Niekerk spends many hours sitting in a chair consulting with clients/patients and writing up reports and conducting research on the computer. She has suffered from rheumatoid arthritis for 15 years and sometimes experiences severe muscle spasms, specifically in her shoulders and back.
Her work, she says, aggravates the intensity of muscle spasm and causes acute pain. “I still fulfill my duties as necessary, but I am often aware of the inconvenience caused by the pain in my shoulders, joints, and back. On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being ‘almost unbearable’, I would say my pain levels vary between 3 and 8.”
Her treatment regime typically included medication, exercise, and 2-4 km walks three times a week. This is a practice she continues to date as she firmly believes one has to follow a holistic approach in pain management, for example, medical assessment and treatment, and psychotherapy focusing on pain management on a psychological level. She introduced the Photizo Pain Relief unit into this treatment regime two years ago on an irregular basis. “But recently I realised that when I use it on regular basis, the pain intensity is much lower, even absent,” she says.
She says that when using the Photizo Pain Relief unit she experiences almost immediate relief from the pain and this can endure for up to two days after the treatment. “My pain levels after using the unit are a very low 1 or 2. My advice to anybody suffering from arthritic and especially muscular spasm-related pain is not to wait until the pain levels are high. It is better to act proactively. Use the Photizo Pain Relief unit on a daily basis, especially in bodily areas where there are often high levels of pain.

I had surgery on my left shoulder in November last year and have had a number of physiotherapy sessions. I do daily exercises to strengthen the muscles. In spite of this, I was still experiencing some stiffness and limited range of movement in the joint. Since starting home treatment with the Photizo Pain unit two weeks ago, the stiffness has disappeared and I have seen a huge improvement in the mobility of my shoulder. I also used the unit on my sinuses as I was recovering from a sinus infection and it helped to ease the congestion and associated pain. A great investment!

I have a cracked Collarbone and the pain is unbearable. I have taken a lot of pain pills to kill the pain and have also used Voltaren to help with the pain. This would help for a day or so then the pain would reappear. My wife is a registered nurse and recommended that I try the Photizo Light on my shoulder. After the first session the pain was gone after so many weeks of pain. By the second time I used the Light, I could do weights again. I would recommend the Photizo Light for pain relieve.

Physiotherapist uses light therapy to treat osteoarthritis pain
Physiotherapist Femke Moodie sees many patients, with varying physical issues, on a daily basis. Manual manipulation and soft tissue treatment of the affected area often provide relief, sometimes immediately, and sometimes over an extended period. However, Moodie also believes in using complementary aids to help patients find relief from their pain. One of these is the use of light therapy.
“One patient presented with pain caused by Osteoarthritis. She received physiotherapy on a regular basis to control her pain and to improve mobility in her joints. She also used pain medication. I decided to supplement her treatment by using the Photizo Pain Relief device. Each light therapy treatment session lasted between five and 10 minutes per treatment, three times a week, for about two weeks,” Moodie explains.
The patient felt pain relief after the first session, but optimal results were achieved after two weeks of treatment. The overall pain was reduced, and the mobility of her joints increased.
“With a condition such as osteoarthritis, long-term treatment is recommended and that is why the Photizo Pain Relief is ideal to use daily at home to manage and control chronic pain. Osteoarthritis is a joint condition where cartilage and other tissue within the joint break down or change. This is why long-term treatment is required because pain that occurs because of these changes needs to be managed,” Moodie points out.
“Osteoarthritis is a chronic pain condition that decreases mobility in joints because of the pain, and it causes joint changes that happen in the cartilage and other tissue in the joint. I would strongly recommend using Photizo Pain Relief for the supplementary treatment of osteoarthritis. It works wonders for patients with chronic pain disorders like arthritis because it helps relieve pain and improve mobility; giving back some quality of life to patients.
“I have used the Photizo Pain Relief on various conditions that involve pain. I have treated muscle injuries and tendon/ligament injuries with great success. I also had good results with fractures and even some nerve conditions. Photizo Pain is a wonderful treatment modality. I have used it in my practice for 18 years with great success. What I love about Photizo Pain Relief is that it is easy to use and affordable. I often recommend that patients with chronic pain conditions invest in a Photizo Pain Relief unit to control and manage their pain at home because this will certainly improve their quality of life,” says Moodie.

I had a hard fall off my horse. Bruised ribs and really sore in my hip area. Doctor said 4 to 6 weeks for ribs to heal. I used the Photizo as instructed in the booklet. 2 weeks later I am back at pilates and riding again with very little pain! Awesome product, definitely worth every cent!!!!

Thirteen years ago I was diagnosed with a degenerating disc in my lumbar spine, the result of an old injury. Yoga helped a lot to strengthen my back muscles and combat pain, but I still experienced some back pain and discomfort from time to time. I have been using the Photizo Pain Relief device on this area for less than a week now, and after a few days of use, have not had any lower back pain. It almost feels too good to be true, but indeed, this has been my experience. I will recommend Photizo to anyone needing relief from chronic pain.

Choose to be healthy, pain-free and better! Today I want to praise Photizo for changing my life, to be pain-free, healthy & being better to live life to the fullest!
My story:
I had a few ailments, one, a very bad knee, very painful and filled with inflammation. After an appointment and one treatment at my local Physiotherapist, seeing such great results, I decided to invest in my own ‘physio’ at home, the Photizo Pain Relief home device.
Riaan from Photizo gave me a call and gave me some good advice and info regarding the Photizo, which helped a lot and after a few e-mails with more info on ‘how to use’ instructions etc. I ordered the Pain Relief.
Service was excellent and delivery was fast!
After using the Photizo Pain Relief every day for 4 days continuously, I could feel the extraordinary difference and relief. Each day I had more use of my knee again. Like they say ‘the proof is in the pudding'(red/infrared light therapy).
I use my Pain Relief for anti-aging benefits too, wrinkles etc and I can see a huge difference! It’s my treat every day to be pampered and having benefits at home.
Thnx Riaan & Photizo for your kindness, friendly assistance, helping me to be better and healthy and happy again.
 

I’ve started using the Photizo 3 months ago after I received it as a gift from my daughter. I’m suffering from Rheumatoid Arthritis, and my hands are deformed with my fingers stiff and painful, to such an extent that I could not close my hands. After a few Photizo treatments, I could bend my fingers again and can use my hands without pain.
My husband suffered from imbalance and ringing in his ear and after a few treatments, the ringing and balance problems were gone. His one hand’s fingers could not bend because it had a trigger action, and the Photizo also helped. The fingers are functioning just fine now. In 2003 my husband also had a knee replacement, and in the near past, he suffered from pain on the side of his knee. He also treated the knee with the Photizo and the pain is gone.
I want to express my deepest appreciation and thanks for this wonderful Photizo.

This is just a little note to compliment you on an excellent product. My wife suffers from chronic pain due to arthritis of her thumb CMC joints. This has left her feeling depressed as there are times when she cannot even use her hands due to the excruciating pain.
Since the first day, we purchased and used this product she has much-improved mobility and can now do her routine tasks certainly more comfortably. Photizo truly lives up to its expectations and we would like to thank you for introducing us to the product. We will spread the word and trust that this device will help others the way it is helping us.

I just wanted to let you know how pleased I am that I invested in the Photizo Pain Relief Home Care machine. I had an arthrodesis of the left ankle many years ago. Initially, I experienced no pain but as I became older, I had constant inflammation and swelling which caused great discomfort.
Since using the Photizo Pain Relief Home Care machine regularly I am happy to advise you that I am “pain-free”.
Thank you!

Have a look at the images and read more below for some great feedback from Laura Chaffin on using the Photizo Vetcare on her daughter’s Barrel horse: “Our daughter’s barrel horse has an old scar on her knee. She had some fluid build-up that we were not aware of until we noticed some swelling. At that point, I started using the Photizo Vetcare along with an extraction gel. Within a week the scar started draining and opened up completely. I’ve been using the Photizo Vetcare every day, along with a wound bandage spray to protect from flies and the elements, and the results have been amazing. These photos are each taken every day over a one-week period,” says Laura Chaffin.

Anna Webb tells the story of how Sherry introduced her to Photizo. Anna Webb uses red light therapy to help keep her animals – dogs and cats – as healthy and happy as possible. In this interview, she talks about how she has learned to treat her companion animals and the role Photizo plays in that.
 
Yasmin Porritt is passionate about helping owners keep their animals healthy. Originally inspired by her Beagle, Snoopy, she wants us to talk about pet health, and do our best for the animals in our care. In this podcast, Yasmin from Yorkshire Pooches Therapies explains how she utilises the Photizo as a professional therapist.
 
 
Ruth Milner explains how red light therapy can be used to help injuries or surgeries heal quicker, and to keep canine athletes in tip-top condition. In this interview, Ruth Milner explains how red light therapy could help your dog – and how Photizo can enable you to provide those benefits at home.

This has been a great tool both for us and the furry patients I work with as a canine massage therapist. The best part is while some light therapy devices require several minutes per treatment area this one just takes a minute so I can easily work various areas and not have issues with patients wanting to move.

We purchased this to help our dog that is suffering from muscular/joint problems. Before I purchased this it was costing me £35 for each vet visit for them to apply a similar treatment, and most of the time my dog could not settle comfortably at the vets during the treatment, so after extensive research, we decided to go for this.
It has made a great difference to our dog, I believe it has helped in prolonging his ability to be mobile and the treatment is applied in the comfort of our home. We have started using this with our cat that has hip problems too and a short while after treatment she acts like a different cat, wanting to play and run around.
However, if you think your dog would benefit from this type of treatment consult with your vet before you decide to purchase this type of device.

Anja was diagnosed with hip dysplasia (HD) when she was 3 years old. She went to the vet and, a year later, to a specialist vet when it seemed like she was having more difficulty with her movement. He said that Anja is like a person with arthritis. When she gets up she is very sore and stiff, but after she has walked a few steps, she gets better. He said there is no need right now to keep her on medication or look at any operations. The pain is not there all the time, only when she gets up from a down position and initially when she starts walking, and only at night.
She gets a joint supplement and is on veterinary joint food, which definitely makes a difference. Anja is mostly sore in the evenings and is usually more sore after she’s been running around a lot, like after we’ve been to a park. In the winter she was worse.
I started using the Photizo on Anja every day. I treated her on both her left and right sides, from the spine down on each side. I treated her hindquarters. After about a week I could see a difference. She could get up quicker and more easily. She was also limping less and loosened up quicker when she started walking after she got up.
I did get a bit lazy and after about 2 weeks of treatment, I stopped for a bit. I could then see her getting sorer again – getting up slower. That also showed me that the Photizo definitely made a difference. I then started treating her again.

My dog had puppies, and she developed mastitis with abscesses, and could not feed all her pups. I’m using a Photizo at home for my family, and decided, if it works so well for all ailments, it will also help my dog. I’ve treated her twice daily for 3 days, and although the condition cleared by the third day, I’ve proceeded to treat her once daily for the next 2 days. It was amazing. I did not even have to take my dog to the vet.
I’m using the Photizo on my arthritic knee, and it definitely helps for the pain. My 2 sons also use the Photizo for pimples, and their skin looks great.

The Photizo I used on my English Bull Terrier did wonders for his skin rash. He has a bad medical condition where his skin on his belly and under his legs would flare up and itch uncontrollably. After using the Photoizo I saw an immediate difference. After just a few days the rash had completely cleared up and hasn’t returned. It was the only thing that really helped, and I can tell you I tried everything. Thank you very much for an awesome product!

The horses already had their first treatments and they love the hands-on care. A Bemer is so impersonal! They just stand there and graze while the treatment takes place. With the Photizo they get the treatment and human interaction at least.

I’ve owned my 22 year old mare, Lace, since 1997 and have had many problems keeping her sound due to a pre-existing injury. After many years of trying everything on the market I decided to hire the Photizo unit. It really is a miracle machine. After only a weeks use the trauma tissue has virtually gone. I also use it myself as I have osteoarthritis and we are both now out and about winning shows, pain free and very happy.

I brought Gabriel (domestic shorthair cat) to Mayville Animal Clinic in December 2001, when she was diagnosed with Snuffles. We tried every anti-biotic available but Gabriel was never cured. After ten sessions of 15 minutes each (5 consecutive days respectively each time for 15 minutes) with the Photizo Light Therapy device the condition has dramatically improved. For the first time, since December 2001, Gabriel’s nasal passages have been free of mucous. She breathed freely. I would highly recommend the use of the Photizo machine, it has had miraculous results with a chronic disease that could not be healed through more conventional methods

Here’s a short (but nice) story:-
I came across the Photizo when I was looking for a solution to my Border Collie’s arthritis problems and decided to try it.
It worked well on her front legs so I was pleased with it.
In the meantime, my daughter, Carla, (35) has problems with her teeth and always has a lot of trouble when she has to have one out. There is invariably an infection and a long healing time. She was scheduled to have a large lower tooth out and to have an implant when it had healed. I suggested that she should borrow the Photizo and, as soon after the extraction as possible, should use it on her jaw twice a day for a minute each time. There was nothing to lose by trying this so she used it as soon as she sat in her car afterward. She kept it for a week and returned to see the dentist for a checkup. The dentist was amazed how quickly the gum had healed and said that the bone was in such good condition that two smaller implants could be done instead of the one large one that had been planned.
My daughter was very pleased! So pleased that she decided to try the Photizo on her back where she had an injury from a very bumpy fairground ride a couple of years ago. She had a good result from this too so her housemate asked if it would help with her feet. She has plantar fasciitis and can’t walk far without experiencing a lot of pain. She found almost immediate relief from the pain and was able to help my daughter to walk the dogs without any trouble. (My daughter is a full-time self-employed dog walker and pet sitter and needs some help occasionally if she has dogs that don’t get on with each other very well.)
You can probably see why I had difficulty in getting the Photizo back from them!
I am 71 and have severe arthritis and sciatica as well as a trapped nerve in my neck. The sciatica was crippling for a few days so I decided to give the Photizo a try on it. Woo Hoo! It worked straight away and I was able to walk again within about half an hour of using it.
I have now been able to take the advice concerning Tiffy and it has worked well. I live near the beach (Redcar) and take Tiffy there for a walk. If she walks across the hard sand she leaves paw prints and two long scrapes because her back legs don’t coordinate properly and her foot drags. After three days of using the Photizo on her back and on the feet, I noticed that the scrape mark was intermittent. On day five it had almost completely gone. I’m hoping that it will soon be completely gone. Good result – so thank you for the advice.
Needless to say, I’m very pleased that I discovered your website and bought a Photizo.

Injuries are commonplace in rugby, especially in those players who compete at international level. In the run-up to the Olympics held in Tokyo in July 2021, South African Blitzbok Impi Visser experienced an injury that could have cost him the Olympics, but thanks to Photizo’s amazing healing benefits this was luckily not the case.
“In the five weeks leading up to the Olympics we had some preparation matches and in one of the matches I fractured my left wrist. I knew a fracture takes about six weeks to fully recover and with only about four weeks to go until the team left for the Olympics, I realised I needed to accelerate the healing process of my fracture if I wanted to give myself a good opportunity to make the team and also compete at my best,” says Visser.
“I looked at various recovery and healing options and came across the Photizo Sport light therapy device. I contacted them via Instagram and they immediately responded with loads of detailed information. I got myself a Photizo Sport device and started my treatment immediately,” he adds.
The first two weeks his treatment was quite aggressive, with about two to three sessions per day and again after training, if he was experiencing pain. “I noticed after two weeks that the pain had reduced when doing daily tasks around the house (which previously caused me a lot of pain). After two weeks I eased the treatment to about once a day until we left for the Olympics.”
“Even though I still had pain while training in the gym and with contact drills, I started to regain strength and the confidence to use my wrist fully. After about four weeks my pain had almost completely disappeared and I could really get going in the gym, especially with weight pushing exercises. This is incredible, given the fact that I struggled to do any type of push exercise for the first few weeks after the injury, due to the pain,” he explains. “I truly believe that the Photizo Sport device has made a massive difference in my quick recovery time. Although you can’t physically ‘feel’ any improvements while doing the treatment, trust me that it does work over a period of time and your healing will be accelerated.”
“For me to be recovered in four weeks’ time instead of six weeks made the difference in me being fit for selection and it made my Olympic dream a reality,” says Visser.
“I had surgery on a chronic patella tendon about 10 months before the Olympics, so I also use my Photizo Sport device weekly to treat this. With the high load and the intensity of training here at the Sevens, my tendon tends to get painful after a long week’s training. The treatment helps me to ease the pain and keep training at my utmost best. I would strongly recommend the Photizo Sport device to any sports person,” he says.

I regularly complain about an ongoing neck/shoulder spasm which I’ve had for years now. Hours of editing and turning the camera into portrait mode definitely has an effect on the area. I have spent thousands of Rands on physiotherapists, chiropractors, massages, painkillers etc. 
I have found a solution that I can use in the comfort of my own home and would like to recommend Photizo Light Therapy for pain relief – it really works. It is a once-off investment and they have different units available, even one for Skin Care, Vetcare and Sport! 
Thank you Riaan Malan for great service 😊. Now I can look sideways 😉

I injured my ankle in the first 20 minutes of the game. I felt slight pain while running especially straight after I sustained the injury.
Ankle injury:

Grade 2 deltoid ligament tear
Grade 1 anterior fibular ligament tear

Sustained 2012/02/13
Re-entry into contact sport 2012/02/25.
During half time our team physio re -strapped my ankle and I was able to finish the game. I started applying ice directly after the game to try and stop swelling but the next morning my ankle was severely swollen. Our team physio treated my ankle and I received platelet injections straight into my deltoid ligament.
That same afternoon I started to treat my ankle with the Photizo® Sport light therapy. It was very easy and portable so I could do it any time in the comfort of my own home. In conjunction with the hyperbaric chamber and icing, I aimed to use the Photizo Sport light therapy every two hours. The swelling went down within one day and I was able to start running at full speed on the 20 February 2012.
In total, I went for 10 hyperbaric chamber sessions and used the Photizo® Sport light therapy approximately 40 times before our game on the 25 February against the Toyota Cheetahs.
The Photizo is a wonderful product, it is extremely easy to use, is portable and works very well if combined with other forms of treatment. Thank you for getting me back on the playing field in no time!

My name is Hannes Venter, and I am 45 years old. I am an enthusiastic road running athlete. During February 2008, I developed an injury, in my right foot, called plantar fasciitis. This injury caused me to experience severe pain and forced me to stop running, and I even battled to walk without pain, especially after a night’s rest. I was desperate, and quite discouraged. I had tried several cures such as anti-inflammatory tablets and other treatments. Nothing cleared the condition. Some people suggested surgery, and I contemplated giving up my favorite sport: running! A friend referred me to Dr. Maaki Ramagole, of the High Performance Centre at the University of Pretoria, for treatment. Dr Ramagole advised me of the brilliant results she had already obtained with the Photizo® Light Therapy device, and suggested this treatment. I was amazed. After 4 treatments I already experienced pain relief and after 9 treatments I returned to my training schedule, without any pain whatsoever! I’m thankful that my injury is something of the past, and that I did not need harmful drugs or even surgery! All credit to the Photizo® Light Therapy Device!

The South African Guide-Dogs Association for the blind uses the Photizo product on its dogs who have been spayed or castrated.
We also use it on some of our dogs who have had to undergo hip or elbow operations. We have found that Photizo® has helped with relieving the inflammation around the operated area as well as the helping the healing process.
We would recommend to everyone who has a pet with inflamed joints or recovering from an operation to use the Photizo.
We have had a huge success rate using the Photizo on our guide dogs pups in training.

I was involved in a motor vehicle accident and sustained a quite severe concussion as well as back and neck muscle injuries. I’ve treated all my injuries with the Photizo with amazing results. My headaches, back and neck pain quickly and greatly improved with treatment, and I was surprised to notice that the bruisings that I’ve also treated disappeared within a few days.
The Photizo is my “go- to” treatment for all kinds of aches and pains, like sinusitis, toothache, and even occasional nausea!
Thank you for a great product!

I am a quadriplegic and a nasty pressure sore developed in April 2005. My nurse tried all sorts of treatments, including putting me on a machine to try and close the wound. After several months, she recommended that I should see a Surgeon. As surgery is NOT an option for me personally, I made contact with a Physiotherapist, who did laser therapy on the wound twice a week. The wound slowly started to heal. She then found out about the Photizo machine and in July 2006, I started using light therapy once a day. The results have been fantastic as in 2 months the wound has closed from 5 cm x 4 cm and 5 cm deep (the bone was exposed) to 2 cm x 1.5 cm with the depth varying between 1 mm to .7 mm in the undermined area of the wound. I have also found the Photizo excellent in preventing potential pressure sores from developing.

My son was injured in an accident shortly before his wedding. He sustained several injuries and lacerations to his face, which include eyes which were swollen shut, most of his face was blue, his cheekbone was severely bruised and swollen, and he had a nasty gash on the back of his head. This happened 5 days before his wedding, which you can imagine was quite traumatic. This prompted us to try treating him with the Photizo device, as we were desperate. We could see a marked difference within three days of applying the Photizo. The Friday before his wedding day, he exhibited no more scars or swelling in his face. On the third day of treatment his stitches were removed which had been placed in the gash in his head. He also had a wound inside his mouth which healed completely before the wedding. My wife also has arthritis in her left hand, which we also started treating with Photizo and we saw a marked improvement within the first couple of days. This machine truly is a Godsend to our family.

Johannesburg-based commercial model and health & fitness trainer – Britt Dercksen – recently gave birth to her first child and has been using the Photizo Skincare unit to assist in the reduction of pregnancy stretch marks and in the healing of her caesarian scar.
“I previously owned a Photizo Skincare unit but in the move to a new house, it was misplaced. I was devastated, to say the least. I was thrilled when the unit’s manufacturers provide me with a new Photizo Skincare unit to use on my post-pregnancy body,” says Britt.
Following a nightly regime of treating her ‘problem’ areas just two weeks after giving birth, Britt says that she would recommend the unit for any new mothers with C-section scars or stretch marks, or in fact anyone with pigmentation problems.
“Photizo Skincare – what would I do without you? The unit has helped me immensely with the healing process of my C-section scar, has reduced my pain levels and has drastically reduced my pigmentation. My skin is more radiant than ever. The Photizo Skincare is extremely user-friendly, easy to understand and very practical. A great asset in my beauty arsenal!”

I was very sceptical about the Photizo Blush but decided to use it every day for 12 weeks. After two weeks I could see a difference in my skin texture and the wrinkles around my eyes also softened and my pigmentation was lighter. I had some toothache during the time I used it for my skin, and it assisted with the pain as well.

I am a qualified physiotherapist who has been in practice for 17 years. One of my fields of interest during these years was women’s health. I worked in a hospital environment together with gynaecologists and also with various pre- and postnatal maternity groups. I also treated many patients in my private practice throughout the years.
I often gave talks on breastfeeding, breastfeeding complications and wound care. Photizo Light Therapy has replaced all other equipment I used previously to treat cracked nipples and assist with wound healing in my practice.
Cracked nipples is a condition that occurs during breastfeeding due to the mechanical wear and tear that occurs during the strong suctioning of the baby and different ways of latching during breastfeeding. One of Photizo Light‘s benefits is wound healing and because of this, I saw great results treating cracked nipples and Caesarean sections post-operatively.
The Photizo Light will not only promote quicker healing and repair of tissue that has formed micro-tears due to the frequent wear and tear of breastfeeding, but it will also promote the healing process of a caesarean cut. Because Photizo Light enhances blood circulation it carries more oxygen to the affected tissue and the oxygen assists in the healing process of scars. Cell repair and regeneration happens.
Photizo Light is most effective when used on ‘fresh’ wounds, meaning wounds that are 1-6 week old. Wounds older than 6 weeks form more scarring that becomes difficult for the light to break down. Although results have been seen on older scars, it is advised to use Photizo as early as possible while the scar is busy forming and not yet fully formed because then the light can break down and re-align the fibrin and collagen threads that form scars and heal them properly while they form.
Due to this re-alignment of fibrin and collagen fibres in scar tissue, the wound tissue also becomes more elastic and movement of the scar and surrounding muscles is improved. Therefore patients tend not to experience any pulling sensation on their scars post-operatively during daily activities like going to the gym etc.
When one looks at a scar it is always made up of very strong connective tissue. The fibrin threads of scars crisscross to make the scar very strong, but this is inclined to produce a raised effect which is cosmetically not desirable. Photizo Light realigns these connective tissue threads and the result is that the wound remains strong but cosmetically appears much better than it would have.
Some people tend to form keloid scarring. This scarring is very difficult to treat due to the genetic component. I have treated many patients in my practice with keloid scarring and the results will never be the same as someone who is not prone to keloid scars. Having said this though, there have still been slight improvements and most keloid patients were happy with even a 50% improvement.
I use the Photizo Physiotherapy device aimed at professionals and which is used in many physiotherapy practices. Similarly, the personal use units make it easy for self-treatment in the comfort of your own home. It is easy to use and very safe to use. The benefit of daily treatments also enhances the healing process of cracked nipples and Caesarean wounds. This will make the whole process of breastfeeding much more comfortable and pain-free. Cracked nipples are very painful and negatively affect the breastfeeding process for any mommy who would love to breastfeed. Photizo helps with this and it also helps with the healing of the caesarean cut, the elasticity of the wound and the cosmetic appearance of the wound.
The good news is Photizo Light is very safe and cannot cause any harm. It benefits most conditions and achieves wonderful results and produces happy patients!

The photograph on the left shows my scar 2 weeks post-op when staples came out. The photograph on the right shows my scar 6 weeks post-op. I was not allowed to use any motions or potions until the surgeon gave the go-ahead at check-up. So, by only using my Photizo Sport it helped with my scar and swelling went down in just a few days, and no bruising given that I bruise very easily. It even helped with the allergic reaction I had from the plaster which was sorted out in about 3 days. The results were absolutely amazing.
 

The Photizo has been such a wonderful addition to our Veterinary clinic. We have used it to treat various kinds of wounds, bruises, surgical areas, and ailments and have seen many of our patients often heal within a shorter amount of time than initially anticipated.
The treatment is safe and user-friendly and our patients enjoy being treated. Now we can offer our patients and clients a different non-invasive treatment modality that actually works, saves time and money and that helps our patients recover while alleviating pain and discomfort.

I was used to high tech dressings and was sceptical to use light therapy for my patients.
It took me a while before I was convinced to try the Photizo® device. The first patient I treated did not seem to heal markedly quicker but told me that she could once again sleep at night since the usual pain was gone for hours after the light therapy session.
The next patient (a diabetic with a chronic foot ulcer) did, however, heal in seven days. The patient’s doctor and I were astonished, as this patient had been treated for seven months using high-tech dressings, without clear signs of healing. For the past three months, I have thus been using the Photizo® device to heal all the difficult to heal wounds, with great patient satisfaction.

I have been a physiotherapist for the last 10 years. I have been using Photizo for the last five years in my practice and replaced all my lasers with Photizo.
We are three physiotherapists in our practice and we all prefer the Photizo, for the results achieved are just so much better.
I was amazed at its wound healing properties. We treat caesarean and laparotomy wounds in hospitals, and also treat cracked nipples for all the breastfeeding mommies. If we compare the healing process with the normal laser used in our practice for the first five years, to the healing process in the last five years with Photizo, we see a much quicker healing process.
Patients feel an immediate effect on pain and 24 hours later we can already see new tissue being formed. A normal laser also does this but the difference is that laser is very concentrated per dosage per area being treated. The time taken to give an effective dosage is much longer with a laser. The Photizo Light Therapy Device makes it easy to treat large areas for its probes are bigger and the dosage per treatment is spread over a wide area. There are also fewer contra-indications to the use of Photizo which makes it easy to treat more patients.
The elasticity of the connective tissue is really good and patients form much less scar tissue. With patients being treated for caesarean wounds, with their first babies, we used normal laser and the second time around we used Photizo. The results on reduced pain, reduced scar tissue forming and improved elasticity was really much better. The patients also noticed a difference.
We also use Photizo for sinus treatments. It clears the inflammation in the sinuses and helps with sinus headaches. It is very comfortable to treat baby’s sinuses, as they move a lot during treatment. The probe has a soft attachment which makes it easy to control the probe and baby without hurting the baby.
Light therapy isn’t a painful modality and again the area being treated and penetration into the treatment area is very good. We have also seen great results on sports injuries and neck and back conditions. I also use our Photizo to treat headaches and any joint injury or condition.
I would really recommend the use of Photizo Light Therapy. It just makes treatment so much more effective and our results is just so much better.

I am a professional singer. For many years now I have struggled with hoarseness following performances.
I have been to several ear, nose and throat specialists, who have informed me that I overexert my vocal cords. My vocal cords are usually severely swollen following performances, and most doctors advise me to rest my voice between performances – this was all they could do for me.
This was gravely detrimental to my singing career, as I could perform no more than twice a week. It was only quite recently that I heard about the Photizo® light therapy device and I was desperate for something to make the swelling subside. The results were amazing. I use the Photizo unit before and after performances, and I have no difficulty in staging four appearances a week now.
Photizo has greatly helped with getting the swelling down and I recuperate much faster. I have also found Photizo to be very helpful in treating other minor injuries that I or my crew sustain. I can wholeheartedly recommend the Photizo device for use in treating whichever injuries you may have.

I am a trained nurse and started using the Photizo® Light Therapy device in 2006.
Here are a few examples of great results with the Photizo:

I used it in wound care and had wonderful results. Wounds heal much faster than without the light
A vascular chronic wound improved within four treatments
A woman that fell had extensive bruising on her face, and it cleared within a week of treatment
A child with staphylococcus infection on her buttocks – antibiotic treatment as well as four treatments with light – infection completely gone
An older woman with vertigo improved within a week of treatment and could drive her car again
A woman in her late fifties had to have orthopaedic surgery on her hand. Light treatment was given before the operation and immediately after her discharge. She had to go back a week after the operation for X-rays to see if the operation was successful. Treatment was given daily in that week before she went to the doctor. The X-rays already showed bone formation, something that normally starts later on
A teenager severely sprained her ankle in netball and Photizo treatment was given daily for a week and then three times a week for the next week. She recovered so well that she could participate in netball again before the end of the season, something that nobody had foreseen
A girl who had an appendectomy got an infection in the abdominal wound, and healing was slow. Photizo Light treatment was given and 19 days later she was healed

I want the Photizo light wherever I go! It works for almost any injury you could think of – small household burns, cuts, insect bites and bruises. The sooner you give light when a problem starts, the sooner the recovery.

I’ve been using the Photizo light for the past 8 years, with great results, personally and professionally. We used it on patients after they had an operation. Their pain was considerably less and their wounds healed faster than with patients that didn’t use it. Recently my cat had an abscess in the face and within a day the light made the abscess drain, and healed it within 5 days to a dry scab. I would recommend the Photizo light to anyone.

I am a Therapeutic Massage and Reflexology therapist and am currently using the Photizo® in my practice. The results of the Photizo® treatments I’m experiencing are amazingly effective and fast. Photizo® enables me to obtain superior results not previously possible.
Some of the results that the Photizo® enabled me to obtain in my patients are as follows:
After:

2 sessions of treating an infected burn wound (gas burner), the infection cleared, and the wound is progressing fast, towards total healing.
1 session of treating stomach pain, caused by stress, the pain was gone.
1 session of treating a blocked sinus problem, the patient experienced relief.
3 sessions treating the pain of arthritic fingers, the patient felt better and she was able to move her fingers without pain 1 session of treating gout in a patient’s knee, the swelling subsided, and it was less painful. – 1 session of treating a small burn on a finger (caused by a hot plate) it healed within 24hours.
1 session of treating a small child’s headache the pain disappeared.
1 session of treating a patient’s injured shoulder, the shoulder improved dramatically.

As a Somatologist (beauty therapist) working with the Photizo for the past two months, I was impressed by its user-friendliness, quick results, client satisfaction, and cost efficiency. Our salon treatment quality has entered a new dimension! Obtaining good results in less time guarantees the client’s satisfaction.

The patient, Ms J.E. Taute, has been bedridden for the past four years. She has had a large pressure sore on her back for the past 8 months which was unresponsive to any treatments that were currently available. Before starting Photizo treatment, the wound was 30 mm long x 40 mm wide x 30 mm deep. The wound immediately (within a day or two) started closing and was highly responsive to the light therapy. Within several days it had shrunken to 10 mm long x 5 mm wide x 0.5 mm deep. The wound will probably close within the next couple of days and it looks much healthier than previously.

I have been using conventional light therapy for over three years in my home care practice and for the past 6 months, I have been testing the Photizo® device. I found that light therapy does not always work for all wounds, but the Photizo® device is a great step forward for wound care, especially in home care situations. It is portable, easy to use and in the cases where I used it, I could notice much faster healing (up to 5 times) compared with the other light therapy device. I was able to heal wounds that were treated before with high tech dressings for many months without success. The doctors and patients were impressed with the fast and lasting success of the Photizo® device.

Ek was opgewonde tog skepties om die Photizo produk te gebruik aangesien daar so baie soortgelyke tipe produkte is. Tog wou ek dit n billike kans gee aangesien ek gesien het terwyl my niggie dit gebruik dat dit baie gebruikersvriendelik is. Na 2 weke se gebruik kon ek agterkom dat my vel se tekstuur verander het. Na 6 weke is dit asof my pigmentasie versag het. Die pofferigheid onder my oë is selfs minder geswel. Ek sal defnitief aanhou om die produk te gebruik. Ek voel baie tevrede.

I decided to try the Photizo Blush for the fine lines and dark circles around my eyes. At that time I was also bitten by some type of insect or spider on the tip of my nose. This left me with a bad sore and afterwards with a horrible red mark. I used the Photizo Blush every night and after two weeks the red spot on my nose was almost unnoticeable. After 8 weeks it was completely gone. Thanks to the Photizo Blush! It is a very easy and fast treatment that only takes less than 5 minutes at a time.
