Understanding Photobiomodulation

Photobiomodulation (PBM), also known as red and near-infrared light therapy, involves how light affects biological processes. This therapy can be complex, requiring precise dosing and an understanding of systemic versus local effects. Different devices and methods of delivery can lead to varied clinical outcomes, and no single protocol serves as a universal standard. Researchers emphasize that the effectiveness of PBM remains consistent across dramatically different dosing parameters, showcasing its potential flexibility in applications.
