Main Applications of Photobiomodulation (PBM)
Michaela Altenberger,
How can light accelerate tissue healing – without heat or invasive procedures?
Why do skin, muscles, and even nerve cells respond to certain wavelengths as if receiving a repair signal?
And why is this form of therapy increasingly moving into the spotlight of medicine, rehabilitation, and longevity programs?


The targeted application of red and near-infrared light has opened up a wide therapeutic spectrum in recent decades. At its core, it’s always about one thing: accelerating and supporting healing and regeneration at the cellular level.
- Wound healing
Acceleration of regeneration in skin wounds, burns, and chronic lesions such as diabetic ulcers. PBM improves blood circulation, stimulates repair mechanisms, and can significantly shorten healing time. - Pain relief
Anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects – for example, in rheumatoid arthritis, sports injuries, or chronic inflammations of the skin and connective tissue. - Tissue repair
Supporting the healing of muscles, nerves, tendons, cartilage, bones, as well as dental and periodontal tissues. Especially in dentistry, PBM is increasingly used as an adjunct therapy to optimize healing after procedures. - Collagen production
Activation of fibroblasts and stimulation of collagen synthesis – essential for skin elasticity, firmness, and connective tissue regeneration. - Immunological effects
Enhancement of phagocytosis (the ability of immune cells to “consume” pathogens or cellular debris) and targeted modulation of pro- and anti-inflammatory signaling molecules. - Hair growth
Accelerated hair regrowth – an effect first observed in the early experiments of Endre Mester and now clinically tested in the treatment of hair loss.
This versatility makes photobiomodulation a valuable tool in medicine, dentistry, rehabilitation, and prevention. At the Krallerhof, PBM is not an isolated tool, but part of a holistic regeneration and longevity approach – individually tailored to promote healing, enhance performance, and support long-term tissue health.
