What is Photobiomodulation?
Photobiomodulation is a special form of low‒level laser therapy. Laser therapy is normally used for wound healing and tissue regeneration, but photobiomodulation can also be used to support neurological and psychological conditions. It stimulates certain important processes in the brain that can help strengthen the mind and reduce negative neurological responses that contribute to conditions like dementia, strokes, and conditions such as attention‒deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and anxiety. It can even improve cognitive function.
At Vital Brain Health, we provide photobiomodulation as part of our ongoing mission to provide optimal neurofeedback therapy to our clients. Our services can help support overcoming a variety of conditions that impact our clients’ daily lives, such as anxiety, depression, and more.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is photobiomodulation legit?
Photobiomodulation has been shown to improve brain function through the use of low-level infrared light. Light exposure from this therapy can also help support care for a variety of conditions such as anxiety, depression, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).
Who should not use photobiomodulation?
People with a heightened skin or eye sensitivity to light, either through medication use or a physical condition, should not use photobiomodulation therapy. While low-level infrared light or near-infrared light is used, the heightened sensitivity these people experience can make the light more detrimental than beneficial.
What is the difference between photobiomodulation and red light therapy?
Photobiomodulation is a broader term that red light therapy and other similar support methods fall under. Red light therapy is typically used to support care for physical conditions such as tissue damage. Photobiomodulation, meanwhile, can be applied to a broader range of conditions, including neurological and behavioral conditions like OCD, ADHD, and autism.
Is there any harm in red light therapy?
Visible and near-infrared light are usually harmless. More intense or higher levels of red light can be detrimental to a person's health, causing redness and occasionally blisters to the skin. However, photobiomodulation and other forms of red light therapy do not use these higher levels of light.
