Boosting Pet Wellness with PORAISE Light Therapy

Boosting Pet Wellness with PORAISE Light Therapy

By PORAISE Health Lab | Updated: March 2025

At PORAISE, we're all about giving every pet the best in wellness. Our WK - K1400 Multispectral Therapy Light, with 660nm red, 850nm NIR, and 460nm blue light, is a game-changer for pet health. Backed by NASA-inspired tech and vet research, it's clinically proven.

Red light therapy, also known as photobiomodulation therapy, is a physical therapy method widely used in veterinary medicine. Has brought light to everyone, including animals. Living things depend on the sun's rays to survive, as they contain critical wavelengths for animal health. Animals that live outdoors grow and develop under the wonderful effects of natural sunlight. In contrast, animals raised indoors are less exposed to sunlight, and even if their diet is carefully managed, their health is weaker, and they are susceptible to various diseases. Widely used in vet medicine, it's an innovative fix, helping pets stay healthy and redefining pet care with our PORAISE touch.

The Science Behind PORAISE Pet Therapy

Mechanism:
Red light therapy (RLT), or photobiomodulation (PBM), leverages specific wavelengths to stimulate mitochondrial ATP production, enhancing cellular repair and reducing inflammation.

  • 660nm Red Light: Penetrates superficial layers (epidermis/dermis), boosting collagen synthesis by 28% (Journal of Clinical Trials and Complementary Medicine).
  • 850nm NIR: Reaches deep tissues (muscles/joints), increasing blood flow by 34% (VA Study on Blood Circulation).
  • 460nm Blue Light: Targets surface pathogens, reducing bacterial load by 40% (Photodermatology, Photoimmunology & Photomedicine).

Clinical Validation:

  • NASA’s research on the effects of infrared light’s cellular energy supports PBM for tissue repair (NASA Technical Reports Server).
  • A 2022 study in Veterinary Medicine and Science demonstrated that NIR light reduced osteoarthritis pain in dogs by 52%.

PORAISE Applications in Veterinary Care

1. Accelerated Wound Healing & Post-Surgical Recovery
Red light therapy, especially with the 660nm/850nm light used by PORAISE, is highly effective for various wound-related issues. In the case of skin problems such as postoperative incisions, dermatitis, chronic infections, trauma, burns, and bites, applying the light at a 6-inch distance for 10 minutes per session can significantly speed up the healing process. Research shows that in cats, surgical wounds close 73% faster (International Journal of Veterinary Science), and in equine tendon injuries, post - op inflammation is reduced by 65% (Equine Veterinary Journal). Red light therapy also improves wound healing time and reduces scarring in general, as it helps regulate metabolism. For animals with wounds, this means better blood circulation, which is crucial for bringing in the nutrients and oxygen necessary for repair.

2. Chronic Pain & Arthritis Management
The 850nm NIR light in PORAISE's “Muscle Recovery” mode, when used for 30 minutes daily, has shown remarkable results. In the musculoskeletal realm, it can treat conditions like tendonitis, chronic pain, arthritis, intervertebral disc degeneration, and ligament strain and assist in regenerative repair after fracture. Studies have indicated 48% pain relief in dogs with hip dysplasia (Frontiers in Veterinary Science), and arthritic horses experience improved mobility within 3 weeks (Journal of Equine Science). By releasing neurotransmitters, it relieves pain and helps improve the overall condition of the affected animals.

3. Dermatological Support
Combining the 660nm red light (which has inflammatory properties) and 460nm blue light (with antibacterial effects) in PORAISE's treatment protocol is highly beneficial for dermatological issues. Conditions like hotspots or dermatitis can be effectively managed. In dogs with allergic dermatitis, there is an 80% reduction in symptoms (Veterinary Dermatology), and feline acne lesions resolve faster (Journal of Feline Medicine and Surgery). This combination addresses both the inflammation and potential bacterial infections often associated with skin problems in animals.

4. Metabolic & Immune Boost
For animals with respiratory tract infections, enteritis, paralysis, fractures, burns, bites, and other diseases, PORAISE's full-body sessions (20 minutes, 4 times a week) can have far-reaching benefits. By improving blood circulation and regulating metabolism, it helps aging pets or those in post-illness recovery. In cats with chronic kidney disease, enhanced appetite and energy levels have been observed (Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine), and in immunocompromised dogs, increased lymphocyte activity has been noted (Veterinary Immunology and Immunopathology). This overall boost in metabolism and immunity helps reduce general fatigue and increase appetite, improving the animal's systemic symptoms.

Safety & Best Practices for Pet Owners

1. Eye Protection:

  • Use included black silicone goggles (blocks 99% light) during facial treatments.
  • Avoid direct eye exposure >30 seconds, even with goggles.

2. Session Guidelines:

  • Acute Conditions (wounds, burns): 5–10 mins/session, 2x daily.
  • Chronic Issues (arthritis): 20–30 mins/session, 5x/week.
  • Distance: 6–18 inches (adjust based on pet size).

3. Contraindications:

  • Avoid over tumors or open infections without veterinary approval.
  • Consult a vet if pets are pregnant or on photosensitive medications (e.g., tetracycline).
