1. Introduction to 635nm Red Light Therapy
635nm red light therapy, a form of photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT), utilizes low-level lasers or LEDs emitting light at a wavelength of 635 nanometers. This specific wavelength has garnered significant attention due to its purported ability to penetrate the skin effectively and stimulate cellular processes. Unlike high-intensity lasers used in surgical procedures, 635nm red light therapy employs low-intensity light, making it a non-invasive and generally safe treatment modality. The energy from the 635nm light is absorbed by photoreceptors within cells, triggering a cascade of biological events that can lead to various therapeutic benefits.
2. Mechanisms of Action of 635nm Red Light Therapy
The precise mechanisms by which 635nm red light therapy exerts its effects are still under investigation, but several key pathways are implicated:
Increased ATP Production: 635nm light absorption by mitochondria, the powerhouses of cells, increases adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production. This boost in cellular energy can enhance cell function and repair. Studies have demonstrated a significant increase in ATP levels following 635nm red light therapy exposure.

635nm red light therapy: Photodynamic Therapy and Fluorescence Diagnosis in Dermatology P. Calzavara-Pinton, R-M. Szeimies, B. Ortel, 2001-08-13 Photodynamic therapy has been widely investigated over the past two decades and is emerging as a promising therapeutic modality for skin cancers and several inflammatory diseases. This growing interest is based on the availability of a new simple, effective and safe regimen using the topical application of a pro-drug, 5-aminolevulinic acid, as well as on the development of new second generation photosensitizers, namely 5-aminolevulinic acid-esters, phthalocyanines, chlorins, porphycenes and hypericin. In contrast to hematoporphyrin derivatives, these compounds are characterized by short-lasting generalized skin photosensitivity. These dyes are available for either topical or systemic delivery and are well characterized. The basic principles of PDT is more complex than chemotherapy or other pharmacological modalities. PDT involves not only a drug but an otherwise harmless compound that is activated by visible light. The interaction of these two treatment components is PDT. The variability of these both components results in a complexity of the treatment that may disorient the clinician who does not have specific experience in this field. This book aims to focus experimental and clinical findings on PDT in order to attract and direct the attention of a growing number of dermatologists. |

635nm red light therapy: Auriculotherapy Raphael Nogier, 2011-01-01 The continuation of Paul Nogier's findings Auriculotherapy is based on proven correspondences between locations on the external ear and the internal organs and systems of the body. The ear acts like an input/output terminal in direct contact with the central nervous system. Information on viscerosomatic states can be accessed via visual clues, skin electro-conductivity, and pressure sensitivity at specific points. The first part of Raphael Nogier's Auriculotherapy shows how acupuncture needles are used in sophisticated and powerful therapeutic interventions.

635nm red light therapy: Safety with Lasers and Other Optical Sources D. H. Sliney, J. Mellerio, 2013-11-11 Nearly a decade aga a general review article on the evaluation of optical radia tion hazards was published in Applied Optics (Sliney and Freasier, 1973). This arti cle received many favorable comments but also prompted many inquiries regarding specific optical hazard problems. From this it became evident that a monograph rather than a supplemental and expanded article was needed to fill this literature gap relating to laser and optical radiation hazards. The present work is designed to fill that gap, and is structured to permit either classroom or self-study use. Much of the material in this book was developed in eonnection with short courses on laser safety and radiometry in which we have participated, as weIl as from our previous articles. In particular, the sequenee of chapters is based upon the experiences which we have had in lecturing in courses with different schedules. One of the great difficulties in developing a text of this nature is that a broad, multidisciplinary background must be included in order that the reader can comprehend all of the subjeet matter readily. For this reason, the material presented on anatomy and physiology is orien ted toward the engineer or physical scientist, while the review material on basic optical physics is intended more for the physician or life scientist. |
