The primary proposed mechanism for LLLT (also known as photobiomodulation) is the absorption of photons by chromophores in the mitochondria, specifically cytochrome c oxidase. This process enhances the electron transport chain, leading to increased ATP production, which provides cells with more energy for repair and regeneration. LLLT is a non-thermal modality and does not work by inducing muscle contractions or using sound waves.
