What is Photobiomodulation? You may know photobiomodulation as “red light therapy.” Photobiomodulation (PBM) is the broader scientific term for the use of specific wavelengths of light—most commonly red and near-infrared—to influence activity in cells and tissues. Near-infrared light penetrates more deeply into tissue than visible red light, which is why it is used for brain photobiomodulation. Brain photobiomodulation applies this light across the head and, with Vielight dev
