Photobiomodulation Therapy or Low-Level Laser Therapy

What is photobiomodulation or low-level laser therapy?

Laser light has special physical properties and can be visible or invisible. Due to its high energy content and specific characteristics, it can achieve very good therapeutic effects for certain conditions.

Photobiomodulation is a gentle, non-invasive, and at the same time powerful method that can support healing, reduce pain, and improve cellular function.

How does low-level laser therapy work?

Low-level laser therapy is a regulatory therapy. Irradiation influences cellular metabolism and activates biochemical processes in the cells that support defence mechanisms and healing. Mitochondria play a central role because laser light can improve ATP availability and support repair mechanisms.

How is low-level laser applied?

Depending on the indication, low-level laser is applied broadly or selectively on the skin. A point laser can also be placed on trigger points or acupuncture points, making non-invasive acupuncture possible.

Is low-level laser treatment dangerous?

When used correctly, laser therapy is generally free of side effects.
