What is photobiomodulation (PBMT)?
Photobiomodulation (PBMT) is a therapeutic technique that uses specific light wavelengths to stimulate biological processes at the cellular level.
PBMT primarily targets mitochondrial activity, enhancing ATP synthesis and promoting improved cellular function. It often utilizes wavelengths like 650 nm to activate energy-producing enzymes such as cytochrome c oxidase (CCO).
For hair restoration, PBMT has become a foundational technology, providing a non-invasive means of energizing hair follicles and supporting new hair growth by enhancing cellular vitality.
