What is ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate)?
ATP is the primary energy-carrying molecule found in the cells of all living organisms.
ATP plays a critical role in cellular metabolism and energy transfer, fueling biological processes necessary for cell repair and regeneration. In the context of Photobiomodulation (PBMT), ATP production is one of the key mechanisms that supports improved cell function.
Enhanced ATP synthesis is particularly important for hair follicle cells, where higher energy availability can promote longer anagen phases and healthier hair growth stimulated by red light therapy.
