I often hear people throw this particular word into any conversation we have about light therapy. What exactly is PBM and how does it affects my health>?
November 3, 2019 at 9:50 pm #452grace peachParticipantPBM is short for Photobiomodulation. It merely means the stimulation of body cells using low-level light. It embodies its ideology in phototherapy and stimulates the body by acting on light sensors such as chromophores and triggers various processes within the body.
PBM is all about the body, how it reacts to light, and the processes that are triggered by it. PBM is being talked about whenever you hear of low-level light therapy.

November 13, 2020 at 7:25 pm #1568bpbaddieParticipantI agree with that. I really love the benefits of boosting the immune system specially these days that there’s a lot of virus outside.

November 21, 2020 at 1:19 am #1926MarkusParticipantPBM is really good on our body specially on boosting our immune system, skins issues, wound healing, hair growth and more. There is also blue light therapy that is commonly used for acne, with limited effectiveness.
