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 Live Oak 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 speed 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 deeper beneficial responses at several skin layers. The result is enhanced collagen production, reduced inflammation, and faster healing of dermatological issues.
What Can Phovia Therapy Be Used For?
Phovia Fluorescent Light Therapy has shown to be effective in speeding the resolution of both acute and chronic skin concerns including:
- Hot spots
- Bite wounds
- Lick granulomas
- Traumatic wounds
- Skin infections
- Surgical incisions
Benefits of Phovia Fluorescent Light Therapy
Phovia therapy offers a number of benefits to pets and their owners, including but not limited to:
- Reduced Pain and Inflammation
- Faster and More Complete Healing
- Non-Invasive
- Easy and Convenient
- Cost-Effective Alternative to Surgery
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!
The number of recommended sessions your pet will need will depend on his or her unique circumstances. Once the doctor has had the opportunity to evaluate your pet, you will be provided with an individualized treatment plan.
If you have questions about Phovia or have a case you feel may benefit from this innovative therapy option, contact the team at Live Oak Veterinary Hospital today. We’re here to help!

Verified I had been pretty traumatized by the vet I went to about my elderly cat being sick. I looked for somewhere else to go, and my fiancé explained the situation with the staff. We got an appointment in just a few hours from our call. The staff was very warm and friendly. They knew of our previous trauma from our newly ex-vet, so they were extra considerate to make sure we and my cat were as comfortable as possible and checked in often to reassure us. We were able to turn our fear and anxiety down a bit. I felt comfortable with them handling my baby. They brought a cute pink blanket to wrap her in to take her into the back. Truly they are wonderful. I can at least say they have extended my time with the love of my life/soulmate by at least one night so far, and have her as comfortable as they can. Hopefully, they can help us have many more nights when her blood comes back. Thank You to everyone who was on staff today. It felt good to feel cared for. Definitely our new vet and have already recommended them to friends.

Verified Dr. Lloyd and the entire staff at Live Oak are absolutely wonderful. Our beloved cat was very sick with cancer and they were all so kind and helpful during such a tough time in our little girl's life. They were so patient with my many calls and questions during the course of our baby's illness and really went the extra mile for us at every opportunity. Unfortunately, our little girl didn't make it, but it was such a comfort knowing she had such good caretakers, and Dr. Lloyd was even there when the day finally came to help her cross the rainbow bridge. It's so hard finding people we can trust with our little family members, but these guys are it. I continue to be thankful for this team and would recommend them every time. It should be noted that our little girl could be very nervous around strangers and they handled her with care and patience.

Verified Dr. Lloyd and her staff are amazing!! During the scary times of the COVID-19 virus, we recently had to bring our older cat in for a necessary visit. The staff met my husband at the car and took our sweet kitty inside. We were reassured our cat was being loved and comforted in our absence through the numerous phone calls they made to us while she was inside being examined. That was yesterday. Today, Dr. Lloyd called me to discuss our cat's blood work and recommend a plan and treatment in addition to what we discussed yesterday. I couldn't be more impressed with the professionalism and personalized care we've received in a time when emotions can be so high. Dr. Lloyd and her staff care for your animals as if they were their own...and we thank you!
