Red Light Therapy
Photobiomodulation

What is Red Light Therapy?

Red light therapy is also known as photobiomodulation (PBM) and is beneficial for a variety of conditions. PBM uses different wavelengths of light including red (620-700 nm) and near-infrared (700-1440 nm) to stimulate biological effects through the absorption of light by mitochondrial structures (chromophores), primarily by cytochrome c oxidase. This leads to increased adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production (our energy currency), modulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) (think inflammation), and activation of various signaling pathways (function).

​

PBM improves blood flow, enhances recovery, and tissue repair to improve our capacity for healing. Several areas of medicine have been effectively incorporating PBM in treatment plans.

​

Dermatology: PBM has been effective in treating conditions such as acne, alopecia, herpes simplex virus, ulcers, and wounds. It also aids in skin rejuvenation, reducing wrinkles, and improving skin elasticity and firmness.

​

Orthopedic/Musculoskeletal: PBM helps alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and promote healing in conditions such as osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, and nonspecific joint pain.

​

Neurology: PBM has, by enhancing mitochondrial function, reducing inflammation, and promoting neurogenesis, demonstrated effectiveness in treating traumatic brain injury, seizures, and stroke.

​

Because it is non-invasive and has a favorable safety profile PBM is an attractive alternative and/or adjunct to pharmacotherapy. Additional benefits of red-light therapy include being relatively cost-effective, convenient, its versatility in treating various conditions, and having minimal side effects.
