Photobiomodulation (PBM)

Introduction

What is Photobiomodulation?

Photobiomodulation (PBM) is a form of low-level light therapy that uses near-infrared or red light to stimulate cellular function and support brain health. This non-invasive method may promote neuroplasticity (the brain’s ability to learn and adapt). By applying specific light wavelengths to the scalp, PBM stimulates mitochondrial function in brain cells, often referred to as the “powerhouses” of the cells.

When this light energy is absorbed by the mitochondria, it stimulates the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which provides fuel for cellular function. This can initiate cellular repair and regeneration. PBM also triggers the release of nitric oxide, a molecule essential for blood vessel dilation and improved circulation, which supports neurotransmission and immune response. Nitric oxide may also increase the release of neurotransmitters, balancing serotonin levels and prolonging the life of dopamine.

Research has shown that brain PBM can help heal damaged brain cells, improve cerebral blood circulation, reduce inflammation, and regenerate brain tissue. It may enhance brain performance by improving signaling and connectivity between neurons. Potential benefits include enhanced cognitive function, improved mood, mental clarity, better sleep, and a more relaxed state.

01

Alpha frequencies

support mindfulness, relaxation, sleep, and learning.

02

Gamma frequencies

may improve focus, boost energy, and enhance information processing and memory.

The device uses near-infrared light at an 810 nm wavelength, which penetrates several centimeters into brain tissue. Research has shown this wavelength to be particularly effective in improving cognition, memory, and blood flow.

About Device

About the Device

At Neurofeedback Wellness Institute, we use the Neuro Duo device, a transcranial-intranasal brain photobiomodulation tool that operates on both gamma and alpha frequencies.
Benefits

Benefits of Combining Photobiomodulation with Neurofeedback

Combining PBM with neurofeedback may create a complementary approach to brain wellness. The energy-boosting effects of PBM can prepare the brain for more effective neurofeedback sessions, potentially enhancing the brain’s adaptability and response to training. Users may experience faster progress in brain training and longer-lasting improvements in mental well-being.
Some areas where this combination may be beneficial include:
  • Enhancing cognitive function and mental clarity
  • Improving emotional resilience and stress management
  • Promoting better sleep quality
  • Boosting focus and concentration
  • Supporting overall brain health and vitality
