Photobiomodulation (PBM)—formerly known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT)—is a form of light therapy that uses red or near-infrared light to stimulate healing, reduce inflammation, and relieve pain. It is non-invasive, non-thermal, and typically used in medical, dental, and cosmetic treatments.
 

How It Works:
PBM works by applying light at specific wavelengths (usually 600–1100 nm) to body tissues. These wavelengths penetrate the skin and are absorbed by mitochondria in cells. This leads to:

• Increased production of ATP (cellular energy)

• Modulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS)

• Activation of transcription factors that promote cell repair and reduce inflammation

 

Common Applications:

• Pain management (e.g. arthritis, joint pain, neck pain)

• Wound healing (e.g. diabetic ulcers, burns)

• Muscle recovery (used by athletes)

• Neurological conditions (e.g. traumatic brain injury, peripheral neuropathy)

• Skin treatments (e.g. acne, anti-aging, scar reduction)

• Oral care (e.g. after dental surgeries)
