Photobiomodulation (PBM), or red light therapy (RLT), is a non-invasive treatment that enhances mitochondrial function and promotes cellular repair, offering benefits like improved skin texture and hair restoration. This review emphasizes selecting FDA-cleared PBM devices backed by scientific research, as these have undergone safety and efficacy evaluations. Effective wavelengths for treatment are 630-660 nm for red light and 830-850 nm for near-infrared light. Despite its benefits, there is a lack of standardized treatment protocols, and future research is needed to establish optimal dosing guidelines. While generally safe, PBM can cause dose-dependent adverse effects, underscoring the importance of adhering to manufacturer guidelines. The review highlights the need for regulatory oversight and standardization in device reporting to ensure safety and efficacy.
