REACHING TARGET TISSUE
For PBM to occur, light needs to reach the mitochondria of the damaged target tissue. Laser therapy is applied to the surface of the skin. The best clinical results are achieved when a sufficient amount of light (number of photons) reaches the target tissue. There are a number of factors that can help maximise the light that reaches the target tissue.
These include:
Proper wavelength selection
Sufficient laser power
Reducing reflection off the skin’s surface
Minimising absorption by molecules not involved in photobiomodulation (incidental absorbers)
