Photobiomodulation: a modern technology for brain health, immunity and cellular health improvement

Photobiomodulation of the brain (PBM) is an innovative non-invasive healing technique that uses the non-ionizing electromagnetic energy of light (red and near-infrared spectrum) to activate cellular recovery processes in the body. The main mechanism of action of the method is to stimulate mitochondria - intracellular "energy stations".

How does it work?
  1. Light energy penetrates the tissues and is absorbed by the mitochondrial enzyme cytochrome oxidase C.

  2. This triggers the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate ), a key source of cellular energy.

  3. The process activates mitochondrial respiration, reduces inflammation, oxidative stress, and stimulates neurogenesis (the formation of new neurons).

  4. This intervention is called photoneuromodulation, when light acts directly on the neurons of the brain throughthe skull (transcranially).

Effects of photoneuromodulation:
  • Improvement of cognitive functions (memory, attention, concentration)

  • Reduced anxiety and depressive symptoms

  • Improved sleep quality and mood

  • Supporting recovery from brain injuries and age-related disorders

  • Neuroprotective effect - protection of brain tissue from damage


FBM has shown effective adjunctive effects in:
  • Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

  • Depression and anxiety disorders

  • Alzheimer's disease, parkinsonism

  • Fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis - reduction of pain, stiffness, fatigue

  • Diabetes - improving metabolism

  • Cardiovascular disorders - a positive effect on heart function


Photobiomodulation and immunity: effects on the thymus

One of the promising targets of photobiomodulation is the thymus gland (thymus), a key organ of the immune system.
In states of depression and stress, it is observed:

  • Disorders in the hormonal axis: hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal gland

  • Increase in cortisol levels

  • Thymic atrophy and decreased secretion of thymic hormones

This leads to:

  • Weakening of the immune response

  • Frequent infections

  • Reactivation of dormant viruses and bacteria

Stimulation of the thymus with infrared light helps to normalize its function and support the immune system, especially in states of chronic stress or exhaustion.


Our equipment

Our center uses Vielight, a leading American manufacturer of photoneuromodulation devices. It allows for a comprehensive healing effect on the brain and immune system:

  • Infrared light (810 nm ) is directed to brain areas transcranially

  • Red light (633 nm ) is delivered through a nasal applicator, reaching deep brain structures

  • Additional applicator focuses on the thymus area, activating the immune response

Thanks to this multifactorial effect, photobiomodulation is a powerful tool for supporting the brain, psyche, immunity, and overall health.

Attention!
Photobiomodulation of the brain is not yet certified in Ukraine as a method of therapy, so in our center it is a wellness procedure aimed at relaxation and improvement of well-being.
It is not a medical service, is not used to diagnose or treat diseases and does not replace medical care.
