Patented light therapy system can now quickly and completely heal horse patients’ lesions

Therefore, horses can quickly and completely heal from common dermatological conditions including1:

  • Traumatic wounds, and
  • As a component of a summer sore treatment program

“Since January 2021, Phovia has been helping dogs and cats heal from a variety of skin conditions. Now, the system is proven in horses — bringing our equine friends a new tool for faster healing,” commented Eric M. Alsup, DVM, Country Manager, Vetoquinol USA, in a company release. “Quick and complete healing can help horses and their owners spend less time dealing with bandages and wound care.”1

A proven service, Phovia can be performed by trained veterinarians, technicians, or assistants. It requires no other care from owners.

It has been discovered that light therapy, or photobiomodulation, stimulates collagen and secretion of various growth factors including epidermal growth factor (EGF), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), fibroblast growth factors (FGFs), and transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β).2

Though it exerts a biological effect, the Phovia system is generally very safe for users and animals. Additionally, it does not contain antibiotics, steroids, or immunomodulating drugs that may interfere with eligibility for competition.3,4
