fotobiomodulatsioon

Fotobiomodulatsioon, also known as low-level light therapy (LLLT) or photobiological stimulation, is a non-invasive therapeutic technique that utilizes specific wavelengths of light to promote cellular repair and reduce inflammation. This therapy involves exposing tissues to light-emitting diodes (LEDs) or lasers that emit light in the visible and near-infrared spectrum. The photons of light are absorbed by chromophores within cells, primarily within the mitochondria, initiating a cascade of photochemical and photophysical reactions.

These reactions can lead to increased adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production, enhanced cellular metabolism, and the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that act as signaling molecules. This, in turn, can stimulate cellular proliferation, migration, and differentiation, as well as modulate inflammatory pathways and improve blood circulation. Fotobiomodulatsioon is being investigated and used for a variety of applications, including wound healing, pain management, sports injury recovery, and even certain dermatological conditions. The effectiveness and optimal parameters of fotobiomodulatsioon can vary depending on the specific wavelength of light used, the dosage, the duration of exposure, and the targeted tissue. Research continues to explore its full therapeutic potential and refine treatment protocols.
