Photobiomodulation (or low level laser therapy) uses wavelengths of red and near Infra Red and works on the individual cells in the body.
Optimise : how your cells uses oxygen to make fuel ( ATP)
Good for : faster recovery, inflammation,circulation,
Photobiomodulation (PBM Therapy) previously known as Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) is the application of red and near infra-red light over injuries or lesions to improve wound and soft tissue healing, reduce inflammation and give relief for both acute and chronic pain.It is a light therapy using lasers or LEDs to improve tissue repair, reduce pain and inflammation wherever the beam is applied.
PBM helps restore the oxidative process which helps restore normal cellular function.
Increased production of collagen and elastin in the skin.
Support a new collage formation, and smoking lines and wrinkles, increasing tissue repair and healing.
Further benefits for: photoaged skin and scars, and inflammatory acne, Tissue repair.
When tissue is damaged, the production of ATP in the cell is impaired which slows down the metabolism of the cell as a protective mechanism. PBM helps restore the oxidative process which helps restore normal cellular function.
Oxidative Stress
When cells get stressed due to disease, ageing or injury the mitochondria produces nitric oxide (NO). This competitively displaces oxygen from cytochrome c oxidase consequently reducing ATP (an essential intracellular cellular energy and extracellular signalling molecule) and causing an over production reactive oxygen species (ROS) and leading to oxidative stress.
