Healing Dixie at the Speed of Light

Dixie — the sweet, pretty pup pictured above — stands as a testament to the power of compassionate care combined with cutting-edge technology.

Dixie has been a patient at our Geist Pet Wellness Clinic for about a year now, and earlier this summer, she came in with a wound on the back of her hind leg that appeared to be from a brown recluse spider bite. With Phovia light therapy, she has completely healed and is back to her tail wagging self.

In addition to cleaning and bandaging her wound, Dr. Chris Robinette administered Phovia light therapy — a new, non-invasive treatment that uses fluorescent light energy to kill bacteria, decrease inflammation, and stimulate skin cell regeneration.

Phovia treatment involves the use of a multi-LED lamp along with a gel containing light-absorbing molecules. When used together, the lamp and gel produce multi-wavelength fluorescent light energy that penetrates the skin at varying depths, thus healing it faster than topical treatments alone.

Dixie is tail-wagging proof that Phovia works, as she is now completely healed! She’s back to her happy, healthy, carrot-chomping self — just in time to celebrate her “gotcha day,” as Dixie’s owner adopted her last October.

If you think your furry friends needs Phovia light therapy, call us today at 317-516-5921 or request an appointment. The earlier your dog gets diagnosed and starts treatment, the better.
