What effect does diode laser energy have on the mitochondria?

Diode laser energy positively influences mitochondria by increasing ATP production. This occurs due to the absorption of laser light by cytochromes and other components within the mitochondrial membrane. When mitochondria absorb this energy, it stimulates various biochemical processes that enhance the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the primary energy carrier in cells.

The increase in ATP production supports cellular functions, promotes healing processes, and boosts overall energy metabolism. This therapeutic effect of laser energy is utilized in various medical and rehabilitative treatments, particularly in reducing inflammation and pain, speeding up tissue repair, and enhancing recovery times.
