This presentation begins by exploring the fundamental physics of how light interacts with the human body, including the behavior of photoacceptors and the properties of both visible and invisible light spectrums. We’ll review the key differences between LED and LASER therapy and the growing body of research supporting their use in improving brain function and overall health.

Participants will dive into the characteristics of photobiomodulation—such as wavelength, power, dose, and duty cycle—and understand how each affects human tissue. The presentation will focus on the proper settings for effectively targeting the brain, including research-supported protocols and their documented outcomes. While technology-agnostic, this session equips providers with the knowledge to select the most appropriate equipment for their specific goals, adjust parameters accurately, and document interventions for optimal patient outcomes.
