How PBM Works

01

Light Reaches Tissue

Specific wavelengths reach the tissue.

02

Some Light Is Absorbed

Part of the light is absorbed by tissue and cells.

03

A Biological Response May Follow

Cellular activity may be influenced under specific conditions.

The response depends on wavelength, dose, tissue characteristics, and other treatment parameters.
