Could your pet benefit from Phovia Fluorescent Light Therapy?

Skin conditions, like hot spots, infections and even wounds, can be both uncomfortable and painful for your pet. At Mountain Aire Veterinary Hospital, we are committed to delivering the most innovative and effective treatment options to our patients. Phovia Fluorescent Light Therapy is a non-invasive way to accelerate healing and provide much-needed relief for a wide variety of dermatological ailments.

What is Phovia Fluorescent Light Therapy?

Phovia therapy consists of a two-part process which includes the use of an LED lamp and a special chromophore gel. Unlike traditional laser therapy, this clinically proven system produces fluorescent light energy at multiple wavelengths, allowing it to trigger more beneficial responses at deeper layers. The result is enhanced collagen production, reduced inflammation, and faster healing of dermatological problems.

What Does a Phovia Session Consist Of?

Phovia Fluorescent Light Therapy sessions are quick, easy, and completely painless for your pet. We’ll start by cleaning the treatment area and then we’ll apply the special chromophore gel. The doctor will then activate and apply the Phovia light to the affected area for a period of about two minutes. Once the session is complete, the skin will be cleaned, and your pet will be ready to go home! 

Will Phovia Interfere with My Pet’s Medications?

Phovia can be safely used in conjunction with most common medications that are prescribed for dermatological conditions, including immunomodulators, steroids, and most antibiotics.
