Deep dives
Introduction to Photobiomodulation
Photobiomodulation utilizes specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light, including lasers, to promote healing and regeneration in the body. This therapy engages various photoreceptors, such as hemoglobin and mitochondria, to enhance oxygen delivery and ATP production, which is critical for cellular energy. Research indicates over 7,000 studies demonstrating the efficacy of this technology in addressing conditions from inflammation and pain to enhancing overall wellness. Understanding these mechanisms helps clarify how targeted light therapy can significantly improve health outcomes.
