Photobiomodulation (PBM) with LASER is a non-invasive therapy that uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate cellular function, reduce inflammation, and enhance tissue repair. By delivering targeted light energy, PBM promotes mitochondrial activity, leading to increased ATP production, antioxidant defense, and modulation of inflammatory pathways. This technology has been widely studied for its effects on pain relief, neurological function, and metabolic health.
A groundbreaking study is currently underway at the Laboratory of Experimental Neurosciences (LANEX) at UNISUL University in Brazil, led by Dr. Daniel Martins, PT, PhD, investigating the effects of PBM on the gut-brain axis. The research focuses on the AVANT WELLNESS LZ30 ProZ LASER, a high-power therapeutic device delivering a combination of 1400mW at 808nm & 1000mW of red laser power at 637nm for optimized effectiveness.
Preliminary findings after 60 days of treatment reveal significant reductions in abdominal circumference and inflammatory markers (DCF), along with an increase in antioxidant enzymes such as glutathione, key indicators of improved metabolic and immune function. Notably, the placebo group did not experience these benefits, highlighting the therapeutic potential of PBM for gut and systemic health.
This study reinforces the role of LASER PBM in modulating inflammation and oxidative stress, with promising implications for treating conditions linked to metabolic dysfunction and chronic inflammation.
