1967

Dr. Endre Mester in Hungary conducts an experiment to investigate if lasers can induce cancer. During this study, he observes that mice exposed to a low-power ruby laser do not develop cancer, but their hair regrows faster. This accidental discovery marks the beginning of "laser biostimulation."

How Does Photobiomodulation Work?

PBM uses red and near-infrared light wavelengths that penetrate deep into tissues to reach the mitochondria, known as the "powerhouses" of cells. This activation increases ATP (adenosine triphosphate) production, the cell’s primary energy source, and initiates regeneration and protection processes. By stimulating these natural mechanisms, PBM helps cells better resist the effects of aging and disease.

GLOSSARY

Mitochondrion
Mitochondrion

An intracellular organelle responsible for producing energy in the form of ATP. Often referred to as the "powerhouse" of the cell.

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate)
ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate)

A molecule that provides the energy required for cellular biological processes.

Neurogenesis
Neurogenesis

The process of forming new neurons in the brain, essential for brain plasticity and the repair of neural tissues.

Mitochondrial Support
Mitochondrial Support

Stimulation of mitochondria to enhance their function, thereby increasing cellular energy and mitigating the effects of aging.

Cytochrome c Oxidase (CCO)
Cytochrome c Oxidase (CCO)

A key enzyme in the mitochondrial respiratory chain, activated by specific light wavelengths to boost ATP production.
