Photizo

Photizo Light Therapy Devices in South Africa

Photizo® is a South African light therapy brand developed by Photon Therapy Systems. Founded in 2005, the company develops red and near-infrared LED light therapy devices for home users, active lifestyles, skincare, veterinary care and professional practice.

Photizo originated from a need for practical, non-invasive light therapy equipment in wound-care environments. As research and interest in photobiomodulation developed, the company expanded its range to include devices for rehabilitation, home wellness, skincare and animal care.

Making Light Therapy More Accessible

Light therapy equipment was traditionally used mainly by healthcare professionals. Photizo identified a need for smaller, more affordable devices that could provide simple and repeatable sessions outside a professional practice.

This led to the launch of the Photizo Home Care range in 2012. These portable handheld devices were designed around cordless operation, one-button controls and pre-programmed treatment cycles.

The result is a straightforward approach to home light therapy: position the device over the selected area, press the button and allow the programmed cycle to finish. There is no need to select the wavelength, brightness or session time manually.

Photizo Red and Near-Infrared Light Technology

The core Photizo handheld models use a combination of approximately 633 nm visible red light and 850 nm near-infrared light. These wavelengths are commonly used in photobiomodulation and LED light therapy equipment.

Visible red light is generally associated with more surface-level exposure, including skincare applications. Near-infrared light is outside the visible spectrum and is commonly included in devices intended for light exposure beneath the skin’s surface.

Because near-infrared light is not readily visible to the human eye, some LEDs may appear dim or unlit even while the device is operating normally.

Same Core Light Technology, Different Programmes

Photizo handheld devices share the same core red and near-infrared light technology. The main differences between the models are their pre-programmed cycle lengths and intended applications.

This makes choosing a Photizo less about comparing complicated settings and more about selecting the programme that best suits how and where the device will be used.

Photizo Pain Relief

Photizo Pain Relief has the longest handheld cycle at approximately 41 seconds per treatment spot. Its longer preset makes it a versatile general-purpose option for focused use around selected areas of the body.

It can also be moved methodically from one area to the next during a skincare routine, making it useful for customers who prefer a longer programmed cycle per spot.

Photizo Sport

Photizo Sport has an approximately 31-second cycle. It is designed for active users and focused post-exercise routines, with a slightly quicker cadence than the Pain Relief model.

Its cordless, one-button format makes it convenient for use at home, in a training environment or while travelling.

Photizo Vetcare

Photizo Vetcare is designed for animal use and provides a fast, repeatable preset cycle. It is a popular choice for dogs, cats and horses, particularly when several areas need to be covered during one session.

The compact cordless format makes it practical for use at home, in kennels, veterinary environments and around the stable.

Photizo Skincare and Blush

The Photizo skincare range is designed for facial and cosmetic light therapy routines. Photizo Skin uses a shorter cycle of approximately 16 seconds per treatment spot, allowing the user to move relatively quickly across different areas of the face or skin.

Photizo Blush provides another skincare-focused option within the range. Features and programmed cycles may differ between models, so consult the individual product page and Instructions for Use when comparing them.

Customers who prefer a longer cycle per area may also consider Photizo Pain Relief and work progressively from one spot to the next.

Photizo Flexible LED Light Therapy Pads

Photizo flexible LED pads provide broader localised coverage than a compact handheld applicator. Their flexible construction allows them to be positioned over larger or curved areas, such as a shoulder, arm, leg or an animal’s body.

A flexible pad can be a practical choice when wider coverage is required without repeatedly repositioning a smaller handheld device.

Professional Photizo Light Therapy Systems

Photizo also develops larger light therapy systems for healthcare, rehabilitation, skincare and veterinary environments. These products are intended for practitioners who require equipment suited to regular use across multiple clients, patients or treatment areas.

Professional Photizo systems differ from the Home Care handhelds in their format, applicators, controls and intended operating environment. Consult the individual product specifications when comparing these models.

Photizo Light Therapy for Animals

Animal care has become an important part of the Photizo range. The company has exported its veterinary light therapy devices since 2012, with products distributed in several international markets.

Photizo veterinary devices are used by pet owners, equine customers and animal-care professionals who value portable equipment and repeatable pre-programmed sessions.

Why EcoHub Continues to Support Photizo

EcoHub has stocked and supported Photizo light therapy devices since 2020. The brand’s cordless handheld products have become an established part of our wellness range, particularly the Photizo Pain Relief and Photizo Vetcare models.

Photizo devices are compact, straightforward to operate and built around pre-programmed cycles. This makes them especially practical for customers who prefer consistent, one-button sessions without having to configure wavelength, brightness or treatment time manually.

We particularly value Photizo Pain Relief for its longer approximately 41-second cycle and its versatility across different focused areas. It remains our preferred general-purpose Photizo handheld for customers who want a longer programmed session per spot.

Photizo Vetcare is another particularly popular choice at EcoHub. Its portable format is practical for dogs, cats and horses, and many customers appreciate having an animal-care light therapy device available at home, in the stable or while travelling.

How to Choose the Right Photizo Device

Choose Photizo Pain Relief when you want the longest handheld cycle and a versatile option for focused, spot-by-spot use.

Choose Photizo Sport when you prefer a slightly quicker cycle for active and post-exercise routines.

Choose Photizo Vetcare when the device will primarily be used with animals, including dogs, cats and horses.

Choose a Photizo skincare model for facial and cosmetic routines with a quicker spot-by-spot cadence.

Choose a Photizo Flexible LED Pad when broader localised coverage or a wraparound format is more convenient than repeatedly repositioning a handheld applicator.

Professional users should compare the dedicated Photizo systems according to applicator type, operating programme and intended practice environment.

Using Photizo Light Therapy Devices

Always follow the Instructions for Use supplied with the specific Photizo model. Cycle length, positioning, application method and recommended frequency can differ between handheld devices, flexible pads and professional systems.

Consult an appropriate healthcare professional before use if you have a light-sensitive condition, take photosensitising medication, are pregnant or have a specific medical concern.

Veterinary products should be used according to the supplied instructions and with guidance from an animal-health professional where appropriate. Light therapy equipment should not replace professional diagnosis or treatment.
