The Ups and Downs in Our Current Understanding of Photobiomodulation’s Biphasic Dose-Response Curve
The science of photobiomodulation (PBM) has a long history in medicine and robust literature on its efficacy for a variety of health concerns. Although this extensive body of work has clarified many questions on the biological effect of light, as science usually goes, it has also made our understanding less clear. One of the major […]
Consumer’s Understanding of Red Light Therapy
Photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT), known to consumers as “red light therapy” has been validated in the medical community for decades, and is now a billion-dollar (and growing) at-home health trend (GVR, 2023). Despite being FDA-recognized and backed by a robust body of research, there are many misconceptions about “red light therapy” and its legitimacy. Importantly, being […]
Like Plants & Animals, Humans Also Require Light
For hundreds of thousands of years, humans lived outdoors in sunlight. Now? We live indoors. Covered in clothing. The result? As a species, we are now Chronically Light Deprived. We all know plants need light. But did you know that humans need light, too? There are more than a dozen bodily mechanisms that light is […]
The Science Behind Photobiomodulation (PBM): Red Light Therapy Explained
Human cells have evolved to harness the power of red and near-infrared (NIR) light from the sun for their survival. In this blog post, we will delve into the fascinating world of Photobiomodulation (PBM), a therapeutic technique that utilizes red and NIR light to enhance cellular energy, boost blood flow, and alleviate inflammation for improved […]
Precision Light Therapy
Precision light therapy is the combination of light therapy and software-enabled intelligence designed to deliver optimal treatments. Sunflower automatically adjusts the wavelength, amount, intensity, and duration of its output to deliver optimal routines based on the condition selected by the user. This is critical because light therapy’s effectiveness is determined by the wavelength and amount […]
