​Our bodies run on energy produced by the mitochondria of each of our cells. Mitochondria are known as the powerhouses of the cell. They are organelles that take in nutrients, break them down, then combine oxygen to create energy-rich molecules for each cell. This energy, called ATP (adenosine triphosphate), is essential to our health and well being.

When cells get stressed due to illness, injury, or aging, nitric oxide builds up, blocking oxygen from binding with our
 mitochondria and oxidative stress is produced. This impairs ATP production which in turn affects our ability to heal. Our immune function can become weak and aging is accelerated.

Photobiomodulation (PBM) heals damaged cells.
At Luminous, our low level laser and LED light therapies produce beams of light at specific wavelengths, but without heat. The light penetrates the mitochondria in our cells, releasing the nitric oxide and displacing oxidative stress. This process lets oxygen back in, allowing our mitochondria to produce ATP (energy) at optimal levels again. The release of nitric oxide results in increased circulation. Our cells can then work as nature intended them to, allowing our bodies to heal naturally. Click here for details.

PBM is a very powerful antioxidant that eliminates oxidative stress from damaged cells to reduce inflammation, swelling and pain, increase circulation and accelerate the natural healing process. Click here for details.
