 1. What are the side-effects of light therapy?Photizo® has been optimized to deliver an optimal dose of near-infrared light to treat several conditions, if used once daily or once every two days. Applying Photizo® light therapy more than once a day will not cause any discomfort or pain, but may result in slower wound healing being. In addition, some patients with painful conditions report a slight increase in pain when using light therapy, but this usually passes in a few minutes and is followed by a pain relief effect.

2. Will light therapy cause cancer?

No. To date, no carcinogenic effects have been noted for coherent light in the near-infrared range.
 

3. Can Photizo® be used during pregnancy?

The effects of Photizo® have not been tested on pregnant women or animals. While the fetus cannot be negatively influenced by light, but we would not recommend using Photizo® on areas proximal to the developing fetus.
 

4. Can light therapy affect the thyroid gland?

While there are no known side-effects related to LED-based light therapy, the thyroid gland is a sensitive gland and very close to the skin surface, so treatment directly over the thyroid should preferably be avoided. A slight increase in thyroid activity has been reported in one report using LED light therapy. We suggest you place a light impermeable object over the thyroid when treating in or around this area.
 

5. Can Photizo® be used to relieve arthritis pain?

Photizo® has an analgesic effect in most patients suffering from various forms of degenerative joint diseases such as arthritis. Not only does Photizo® relieve pain, but it also assists chondrocytes in replacing themselves, thereby assisting in the rebuilding of joints.
