Photobiomodulation, also known as, Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) is the process of using red and near infra-red light to repair cells within the body.
If the material blocks light, then it will impact the effectiveness of the treatment. See-through clothes or material will allow light through, but thick clothes or black-coloured clothes will block the light. For best results, use on bare skin.
The benefits are various—everything from decreased inflammation and pain to rapid wound healing and increased skin collagen can occur using red and near infra-red light.
Here is a brief list of benefits:
1. Lowers inflammation levels in the body
2. Resolves pain and improves flexibility in conditions like osteoarthritis, joint injuries and excessive swelling
3. Improves thyroid functioning
4. Increases performance and cellular energy
5. Shortens recovery times from training and injury
6. Increases testosterone and fertility
7. Improves skin health
8. Improves oral health
9. Reverses hair loss
There have been no documented side effects since the introduction of PBM more than 50 years ago.
It is possible to experience fatigue as the body needs a lot of energy for the healing processes that red and near infra-red light therapy initiates.
No. UV and AB rays are needed to create sunburn in the skin. Photobiodulation devices do not emit these.
Like many things related to health, results may vary depending upon the nature and severity of the injury or condition. Fresh injuries usually heal significantly faster than more chronic conditions.
It is possible to feel a difference after one session. The number of treatments required varies between the NovoThor whole body treatment system and local targeted treatments. The initial protocol for the NovoThor is 6 sessions. For local targeted treatments generally between 4 and 10 sessions will be required. We determine at the outset - the initial consultation, which mode of treatment is more suitable for the presenting injury/ condition.
By reducing inflammation and increasing ATP (cellular energy) photobiomodulation kick starts and accelerates healing. This is effective for many skin conditions such as acne, reducing scar tissue, easing sunburn and significantly accelerating healing for burns and skin wounds. PBM is also effective in resolving and managing excema and psoriasis
It works predominantly on a protein in mitochondria (cytochrome c oxidase) to increase ATP ( cellular energy ) and reduce oxidative stress ( inflammation ). A cascade of mitochondrial and intracellular downstream effects leads to improved tissue repair, reduced inflammation and relief of pain.
