Red Light Therapy (PHOTOBIOMODULATION)

Red Light Therapy (also known as Photobiomodulation – PBM) is essential for our energy system, with it being among one of the oldest applied restorative therapies. The combination of red and infrared light can help treat injuries, reduce pain, increase blood circulation, and boost energy levels.
Photobiomodulation (PBM) is a form of light therapy that uses specific wavelengths of light to interact with tissue and is thought to help accelerate healing, reduce inflammation, and alleviate pain. This non-invasive treatment is often used for various medical and therapeutic purposes, including wound healing, reduction of pain and inflammation, improvement of skin conditions, and treatment of neurological disorders.
The key mechanisms behind PBM involve the absorption of light by cellular photoreceptors, particularly in the mitochondria, leading to increased production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), modulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and induction of transcription factors. These biochemical changes can result in enhanced cell proliferation, migration, and differentiation, which contribute to tissue repair and pain relief.
