What is Photobiomodulation (PBM)?

 

Photobiomodulation Therapy (PBMT) is a treatment method that uses specific wavelengths of light to irradiate biological tissue in order to regulate cell function, promote tissue repair, and treat diseases.

Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) is a form of PBM where the laser power is below 500mW, referred to as LLLT (low-level laser therapy) or low-power laser. It uses laser light to replace the metal needles of acupuncture and has a history of nearly fifty years.

Applying Photobiomodulation Therapy (PBM) to acupoints is "laser acupuncture," a technology used to promote the body's healing functions, relieve pain, and reduce inflammation, and it is also one of the rapidly developing medical treatment techniques today.

 

By utilizing photobiomodulation stimulation between 600nm and 950nm to achieve desired effects, it can penetrate tissues and cells beneath the epidermis to metabolize, regulate cell function, stimulate cell proliferation, etc., completely without damaging tissue. Through a series of autologous physiological changes, it achieves anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and wound-healing effects. It is a non-invasive, safe, and painless physical therapy. In addition to being widely used in physical and rehabilitation treatments, its applications have expanded into various other medical fields, including stroke, myocardial infarction, brain diseases, and traumatic brain injury (TBI).
