Blue light (470 nm) effectively inhibits bacterial and fungal growth, while not impairing wound healing.
This is one of the most optimized wavelengths for therapy. Optimal cellular absorption of this wavelength’s output ensures maximum effects.
This infrared light emits the most energy per watt compared to other light wavelengths. This band of light is also the most penetrative, delivering energy deeper into the body and designed to coincide exactly with peak absorption.
This is approaching the peak interaction of light with H2O in the body. Although some of the energy is also interacting with the tissue and performing the same function as the 800 to 850nm, the bulk of the energy goes to creating thermal gradients in the H2O that increase circulation and blood flow.

A multicenter double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study with 324 patient study documenting patients treated with PhotoBioModulation (PBM) achieved significant improvement from pain associated with medial and lateral epicondylitis. Total relief of the pain with consequently improved functional ability was achieved in 82% of acute and 66%of chronic cases.
For over forty years, PhotoBioModulation (PBM) has been shown to reduce inflammation and edema, induce analgesia, and promote healing in a range of musculoskeletal pathologies.
Endothelial cells are vital in wound healing and play a key role in angiogenesis. The direct effect of PhotoBioModulation (PBM) on endothelial cells using lasers in the red spectrum plays a key role in healing endothelial cells.
This study concludes that the use of red and near-infrared light does help reduce pain and reduce inflammation. It states that one of the most reproducible benefits of red &near-infrared light is its ability to reduce inflammation/edema following injury. This article states that the reduction of edema and reductions in markers of oxidative stress and pro-inflammatory cytokines are well established when using red & near-infrared light.
For over forty years, PhotoBioModulation (PBM) has been shown to reduce inflammation and edema, induce analgesia, and promote healing in a range of musculoskeletal pathologies.
This study finds that pain and disability associated with knee osteoarthritis is significantly improved when using PhotoBioModulation (PBM).
This study showed that the PhotoBioModulation (PBM) group a significant increase of the tissue repair when compared with the control group, with a significant statistical difference (p < 0.013). Conclusions: The use of PBM on chronic wounds in a diabetic foot demonstrated efficacy on the progression of the tissue repair process in a short period.
This study shows that low level light therapy reduced acute neck pain for up to 22 weeks in chronic neck pain patients.
This study concludedthat the biological effects of light therapy promoted a reduction ofinflammatory cells, increased proliferation of fibroblasts, stimulation ofcollagen synthesis, angiogenesis inducement and granulation tissue formation.
A multicenter double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study with 324 patient study documenting patients treated with PhotoBioModulation (PBM) achieved significant improvement from pain associated with medial and lateral epicondylitis. Total relief of the pain with consequently improved functional ability was achieved in 82% of acute and 66% of chronic cases. The Use of Low Level
This study concluded light therapy was safe and effective regarding the shoulder pain reduction and that study showed significant pain reduction scores with those using light therapy.
PhotoBioModulation (PBM) has been actively used for nearly 40 years, during which time it has been known to reduce pain, inflammation, and edema. It also has the ability to promote healing of wounds, including deep tissues and nerves, and prevent tissue damage through cell death. Much of the landmark research was done by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
In this article, the authors analyzed the existing literature regarding nonoperative treatment of patellar tendinopathy and provide additional insight on the effectiveness of current modalities including PhotoBioModulation.
This study documents the PBM test group experienced reduced neck pain, improved function of neck and improved quality of life.
A double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study of 90 patient showing that patients treated with PBM achieved significant improvements in neck pain relief.
This study shows that light therapy reduced participants’ pain by 70 percent comparedto the placebo for osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
This 69 patient study documented significant improvement and reported reduced pain associated with PBM treatment of patient suffering from heel/plantar fasciitis.
This study concluded that the biological effects of light therapy promoted a reduction of inflammatory cells, increased proliferation of fibroblasts, stimulation of collagen synthesis, angiogenesis inducement and granulation tissue formation.
PBM is a promisingand fast expanding physical approach in various medical fields, especially toreduce pain and inflammation and support tissue regeneration.
