Clinical Benefits of Photobiomodulation using a 635 nm of Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) from a Mechanism of Action Perspective
Year: 2022
Type: article
Abstract: Low-level laser (light) therapy, LLLT, is a therapeutic application of light delivered as photons.The ability of absorbed light able to induce physiological effects is known as photobiomodulation.LLLT photobiomodulation is well-documented to provide clinical benefits of improved rates of healing attributed to anti-inflammatory effects, decreased pain, and enhanced tissue regeneration.These clinical outcomes correlate to the mechanism of action of LLLT's photobiomodulation effects of increased generation of ATP and the ability to modulate inflammatory signaling molecules known to influence rapid and optimal tissue healing repair and regeneration.The clinical benefits of 635 nm LLLT is highlighted from a molecular mechanism of action perspective.
