Photizo UK - LED Light Therapy Devices

Our new Team Photizo UK podcast is now available to watch on our Youtube channel 🙌

In this episode, we talk about the history behind the concept of Photizo, and dive into staff stories, explaining what we use our devices for the most, and why we could never be without our Photizo devices.

At Photizo UK, we are so passionate about the power of light and we are so excited to chat with our audience about all things Phototherapy 💡❤

Got something to say about Photizo? A testimonial, story about how Photizo helped you or a loved one, or an animal companion? We'd love to share it in our community segment!
Or is there a question or topic you would like covered? Write to us on DM, or leave your comment below the video, and we will answer it in another episode.

Watch episode 1 now, link in comments.

Join Dr. Nick Thompson and Anna Webb as they discuss all things light! Link in comments.

And that's a wrap on our 2 full day filming session in collaboration with Yaz of Yorkshire Pooches Therapies ®️. We had an absolute blast and we cannot wait to show you what we created with help from the fantastic Big Sky Creative Ltd
Have some BTS while you wait!

Thank you so much to the amazing photographers / videographers Josh and Jake of Big Sky Creative, and a huge thanks to all those who brought in your animals for their star moment, we appreciate you, and your furry (& scaly) companions so much!

Did you know that the term Photobiomodulation was actually coined by the pioneering scientist, Dr Tiina Karu?

The word itself perfectly describes the therapy:
Photo = Light
Bio = Biology
Modulation = To regulate or influence

Beginning her research in the 1970s, Dr Karu set out to understand exactly how light interacts with living cells. Interestingly, her original aim was not to prove the benefits of light therapy, but to challenge and disprove earlier findings that suggested red light could promote healing.

Those findings dated back to 1967, when Hungarian physician Dr Endre Mester accidentally discovered that low-level laser light appeared to stimulate hair growth and wound healing in laboratory animals while attempting to investigate whether lasers could cause cancer. His unexpected observations would go on to spark decades of scientific exploration.

Rather than dismissing these claims, Dr Karu dedicated her career to uncovering the biological mechanisms behind them. Her ground-breaking work revealed that specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light are absorbed by the mitochondria, the powerhouses of our cells, helping to influence cellular energy production and a variety of natural repair processes.

Today, many of the principles that underpin modern Photobiomodulation therapies can be traced back to Dr Karu's pioneering research. Her contributions not only helped validate this growing field of science but also gave it the name by which it is now recognised around the world.

Join Nick Thompson again on the 7th July at 5pm with special guest canine Nutrition & Behaviour expert Anna Webb.
The live will be available on Facebook so ensure video notifications are on if you would like to join them live.
If you cannot make it, don't worry! We will of course upload it to our Youtube page.
See you then!

Hello from Derby! Today Jolene will be at the Lymphodoema Support Network Roadshow, where she will be talking to delegates about the powerful science of Photobiomodulation in helping support lymphatic drainage, reducing inflammation, softening fibrotic tissue and helping improve the symptoms of Lymphodema.

She's so excited to speak to visitors about the exciting studies backing Photobiomodulation and the ever growing scientific field that is PBM.

Thank you so much for having us IntegrativeMedicineCongress
We had a magnificent time!
Huge thank you to all those who came to our stand to have a chat.

We also loved meeting Dr Damien Downing at his book signing. As light nerds, we love a book about light and water (as you can probably tell!)
