Fluorescence Biomodulation

Fluorescence Biomodulation

There are several exciting avenues of research & development being explored to combat the worldwide issue of antimicrobial resistance such as the renewed interest in bacteriophage virus therapy & fluorescence biomodulation.

Fluorescence biomodulation is now available with TheSkinVet, for the treatment of canine pyoderma, especially German Shepherd Dog pyoderma, interdigital granulomas and perianal fistulas (or anal furunculosis). This cutting-edge treatment simply consists of a blue light-emitting diode (LED) device and a topical photoconverter gel, which when illuminated by the LED device, emits low-energy light in the form of fluorescence. The treatment duration is short, non-painful & usually possible without sedation. Preliminary canine studies of superficial bacterial folliculitis and deep pyoderma have shown encouraging results and an excellent safety profile with no therapy-related adverse effects.

Phovia Highlights

Phovia Highlights

I was invited by Vetoquinol, as the sole UK repesentative of the international scientific committee, to take part in a two day Phovia Highlights meeting in November 2022, in Paris – the first veterinary symposium on fluorescence biomodulation.

  • Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Your dedication, knowledge and support has been invaluable, I can’t thank you enough.

    Client: Mrs Sue Knowles, Summerhill Canine Hydrotherapy, ‘Mischa’ German Shepherd Dog with severe idiopathic pyoderma

  • I’m pleased to say 'Bentley' doesn’t scratch his ears at all now. He seems so much better with your help, so I’m keeping on with medications you gave him & fingers crossed he will be OK. Thank you for all your help - we have a very happy dog now.

    Client: Heather Gough, Cocker Spaniel x Poodle ‘Bentley’

  • I just wanted to let you know that Ruby continues to be very well indeed. Her rash has completely gone. We are so grateful for all you have done.

    Client: Mrs Jessica Greenhall, Ruby, 12 year old allergic cat.

  • I want to thank you again for your outstanding work & efforts in animating the workshops & giving lectures. It has been a real pleasure to collaborate & build together this event, & I'm sure all the participants highly appreciated it. Some nice ideas were raised during our discussion. I hope we can continue collaborating to provide scientific & evidence-based data via clinical trials & advisory board & share your expertise in using Phovia® with your peers. A big thanks to all of you.
