What is Photobiomodulation?

Updated: Dec 8




Laser therapy is a medical treatment that employs focused light to stimulate photobiomodulation (PBM), a process where photons penetrate tissue and interact with the cytochrome c complex in mitochondria. This interaction initiates a series of biological events that enhance cellular metabolism, leading to pain reduction and accelerated healing.

Photobiomodulation therapy is a type of light therapy that uses non-ionizing light sources such as lasers, light-emitting diodes (LEDs), or broadband light within the visible (400–700 nm) and near-infrared (700–1100 nm) spectrum. This nonthermal process involves endogenous chromophores, triggering photophysical (linear and nonlinear) and photochemical events across various biological levels. These mechanisms yield therapeutic benefits, including pain relief, immunomodulation, wound healing, and tissue regeneration. Researchers and practitioners now commonly refer to this therapy as photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy, replacing earlier terms like low-level laser therapy (LLLT), cold laser, or laser therapy.

The scientific foundation of PBM therapy, as understood today, revolves around the application of therapeutic doses of light to dysfunctional or damaged tissues. This triggers cellular responses mediated by mitochondrial pathways. Research indicates that these responses can significantly influence pain, inflammation, and tissue repair.


What does this mean? We know light heals. We know our 1280nm with less absorption, less scatter goes and the highest thermal containment time in the laser PBM industry, allow CW a true continuous wave delivery.


What true continuous wave delivery means is being able to deliver energy with a continuous beam in the same treatment area. CureWave is the company that provides true continuous wave for PBM. We feel this is why our Doctors and us feel we get the clinical results when others cant.
