Photobiomodulation therapy is one of the most exciting developments in modern animal wellness. By using specific wavelengths of light, practitioners can support natural cellular processes that contribute to tissue health and recovery.
How Photobiomodulation Works
Photobiomodulation occurs when light energy is absorbed by cells, particularly within structures called mitochondria. The mitochondria are responsible for producing energy in the form of ATP.
When specific wavelengths of light interact with cells, they may help support:
mitochondrial activity
circulation
cellular metabolism
tissue regeneration
This process can encourage beneficial biological responses that support tissue health.
Key Wavelengths Used in Therapy
Two wavelengths are particularly important in animal therapy devices.
650 nm (red light)
Supports superficial tissues and skin-level circulation.
808 nm (near-infrared light)
Penetrates deeper into muscles, tendons, and joints.
Devices that combine both wavelengths provide a broader therapeutic effect.
Benefits of Photobiomodulation Therapy
Many practitioners use laser therapy because it may help support:
• tissue recovery
• circulation
• joint comfort
• muscle relaxation
• cellular repair
Because laser therapy is non-invasive and easy to apply, it integrates well into many treatment protocols.
Tools Used in Photobiomodulation
Practitioners typically use two types of devices:
Cluster laser devices
Provide broader coverage for large treatment areas.
Precision lasers
Deliver focused light for targeted therapy.
The Lascure Pro Laser is designed to deliver broader regional therapy, while the Precision Class 3B Cold Laser provides targeted point therapy.
Together they create a versatile toolkit for animal practitioners.
