Low Level Laser therapy is said to work through a photochemical effect (which also occurs with photosynthesis in plants). When cells inside tissue are stressed due to disease and injury, the mitochondria (or powerhouse/place where metabolism takes place inside a cell) produces harmful nitric oxide. The nitric oxide replaces needed oxygen from cells thus causing inflammation or cell death. When tissues absorb the photons from Low Level Laser therapy, the nitic oxide is dissociated (or irreversibly split) allowing more oxygen back into the cells and therefore increasing tissue oxygenation. Via this mechanism, cell metabolism and mitochondria function is restored allowing the cell to maintain a health state. The absorption of the light is also said to increase cell proliferation and migration (regeneration) and to moderate levels of growth factors and inflammatory mediators.
