Literature

I came across this article summarizing the state of photobiomodulation, simply titled “Photobiomodulation or low-level laser therapy.” https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5215795/

While published a few years ago, it was a refreshing read with a number of sources citing further work from around the world, but really begins with an excellently written opening paragraph describing how low level light therapy was first discovered in 1967 by Endre Mester at the Semmelweis Medical University in Hungary … “Despite not curing any tumors with his low-power laser beam, he did observe a heightened rate of hair growth and better wound healing in the rats in which he had surgically implanted tumors. This was the first indication that low-level laser light (rather than high power thermal lasers) could have its own beneficial applications in medicine .”

As is often the case of summaries of the technology, the uses and potential benefits are truly amazing. Even more amazing is that we are now in the year 2020, our communities are more focused on health than ever before, yet we’re only now starting to see the contributions of technologies such as this. While I feel and say this in retrospect, it was the case that I too noted the potential a decade ago (as described in the about us section: https://rejuvulite.com/about-us), and like others, was pulled in other directions. Better late than never.
