ʻO ka laser therapy kahi lāʻau lapaʻau e hoʻohana ana i ka mālamalama i kālele ʻia e hoʻoulu i kahi kaʻina hana i kapa ʻia ʻo photobiomodulation (ʻo PBM ke ʻano o ka photobiomodulation). I ka wā o ka PBM, komo nā photons i loko o ke kino a launa pū me ka cytochrome c complex i loko o ka mitochondria. Hoʻoulu kēia pilina i kahi hanana olaola o nā hanana e alakaʻi ai i ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka metabolism cellular, hiki ke hoʻemi i ka ʻeha a me ka wikiwiki i ke kaʻina hana ho'ōla.
Ua wehewehe ʻia ka lāʻau lapaʻau Photobiomodulation ma ke ʻano he ʻano lāʻau lapaʻau kukui e hoʻohana ana i nā kumu kukui non-ionizing, me nā lasers, nā diodes hoʻopuka kukui, a/a i ʻole ke kukui broadband, ma ka spectrum electromagnetic ʻike ʻia (400 - 700 nm) a kokoke i ka infrared (700 - 1100 nm). He hana nonthermal ia e pili ana i nā chromophores endogenous e hoʻoulu ana i nā hanana photophysical (ʻo ia hoʻi, linear a me nonlinear) a me nā hanana photochemical ma nā pae olaola like ʻole. ʻO kēia kaʻina hana e hopena i nā hopena therapeutic maikaʻi e pili ana akā ʻaʻole i kaupalena ʻia i ka hōʻoluʻolu o ka ʻeha, immunomodulation, a me ka hoʻolaha ʻana i ka ho'ōla ʻana o ka ʻeha a me ka hana hou ʻana o nā ʻiʻo. Ke hoʻohana ʻia nei ka huaʻōlelo photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy e nā mea noiʻi a me nā mea hoʻomaʻamaʻa ma kahi o nā huaʻōlelo e like me ka low level laser therapy (LLLT), cold laser, a i ʻole ka laser therapy.
ʻO nā loina kumu e kākoʻo ana i ka photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy, e like me ka mea i hoʻomaopopo ʻia i kēia manawa ma ka palapala ʻepekema, he maʻalahi loa ia. Aia ka manaʻo like ʻo ka hoʻopili ʻana o kahi lāʻau lapaʻau o ka mālamalama i nā ʻiʻo i hoʻopilikia ʻia a hana ʻole paha e alakaʻi i kahi pane cellular i hoʻopili ʻia e nā ʻano mitochondrial. Ua hōʻike ʻia nā haʻawina e hiki i kēia mau loli ke hoʻopilikia i ka ʻeha a me ka mumū, a me ka hoʻoponopono ʻana i nā ʻiʻo.
