Why Red and NIR Light Work Best

Inside mitochondria, a molecule called cytochrome c oxidase - a molecule that acts like a gatekeeper for cellular energy production- absorbs photons from red and NIR light. This triggers a series of chemical reactions, which leads to more ATP — the molecule that powers almost all cellular functions- production and less oxidative stress. The result is healthier, more active cells that can respond to injury or strain more efficiently.

By targeting the correct wavelength and dose, PBM safely stimulates healing without overheating tissues, unlike high-power surgical lasers. This makes PBM a safe, repeatable treatment for various conditions.
