LOW LEVEL LASER THERAPY / PBM THERAPY PHYSICS AND BIOLOGICAL EFFECTS
• Human cells photosynthesise using red and infrared light
• Cells naturally convert light into Adenosine Tri-Phosphate (ATP)
• Increased ATP accelerates healing, repair and regeneration
• Treatment is painless, has no side effects, is evidence-based and works by healing
Lasers were first developed in 1960 to test Albert Einstein’s theories on ‘Stimulated Emission’. This opened up a completely new area of unknown science and research was undertaken to see if there were any harmful effects following exposure to laser light. The effects of exposure to powerful lasers are obvious – they damage and burn tissue – but what about the effects of being exposed to level of laser light so low, you could not feel it? And what about exposure to colours of laser light that were invisible (infrared) so you could not see the beam was touching you? Extensive research was conducted to see what happened when animals and then humans were exposed to low level laser light. The experiments did not find any harmful effects, and only useful effects, and Low Level Laser Therapy was born.
During the 1980’s, NASA was developing LEDs to take into space to provide light to grow plants. LED bulbs are much more efficient than standard light bulbs, are lightweight and last a very long time as they are ‘solid state’, meaning they don’t have any moving parts or filaments that wear out. The NASA LEDs also had a very special characteristic of laser light; they were monochromatic, meaning the light was of one pure wavelength.
