Abstract

Clinicians must ensure photobiomodulation (PBM) devices comply with safety and reliability regulations and are approved by local laws. PBM is used in wound healing, pain management, and tissue repair, necessitating adherence to these regulations for effective and safe patient treatment. However, the lack of standardized regulations poses challenges in assessing device safety and efficacy. Clinicians should consider light source, wavelength, pulse frequency, output power, and beam area when selecting PBM devices. Research supports the efficacy of both lasers and light-emitting diodes, with varying output powers and beam areas influencing therapeutic outcomes. Optimal devices should offer a balance of safety, quality, and adjustable therapeutic parameters.
