PHOTOBIOMODULATION - A Light therapy ?
What is photobiomodulation ? Photobiomodulation is the name for light therapy. Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation, which means it has electric fields and magnetic fields vibrating back and forth very quickly as a wave. The speed of the vibration is called frequency. Frequency is the rate at which a vibration occurs that constitutes a wave, either in a material (as in sound waves), or in an electromagnetic field (as in radio waves and light), usually measured per second. Light therapy is also known as photobiostimulation which means “the stimulation of life with light.” Wavelengths are measured in nanometers (nm), equal to one-billionth of a metre. Light wavelengths measure approximately as follows: Ultraviolet (UV): 10 to 380 nm Violet — 380 to 450 nm Indigo — 440 to 460 nm Blue — 450 to 495 nm Cyan — 485 to 510 Green — 495 to 570 nm Yellow — 570 to 590 nm Amber — 580 to 600 nm Orange — 590 to 610 nm Red Light-Emitting Diode (LED) — 610 to 700 nm Near-Infrared (NIR) — 700 to...
