Laser Therapy

Laser treatment for dogs involves a deep-penetrating light to promote a chain of chemical reactions known as photobiostimulation. This process helps relieve pain through the release of endorphins, and it stimulates injured cells to heal at an accelerated pace.

Phovia

Phovia is an innovative way to manipulate the function of cells within the dermis and epidermis, as well as reduce inflammation but still accelerate regeneration.

It is a two-part system, comprising a LED lamp and a chromophore gel. Used together, they produce multi-wavelength fluorescent light energy that can penetrate the skin to variable depths.
