3. Tissue optics, direct versus systemic effects, light sources 3.1. Light penetration into the brain. Due to the growing interest in PBM of the brain, several tissue optics laboratories have investigated the penetration of light of different wavelengths through the scalp and the skull, and to what depths into the brain this light can penetrate.
This is further underscored by emerging evidence that UV therapy may also be used in treatment of chemical addiction and in mood disorders due to its opioidogenic effects (1, 44, 65–67), and that UV may even be employed to regulate body metabolism, food intake, and appetite via its effects on POMC, CRH, and agouti-related protein signaling (67, 98).
Aug 1, 2019 · On the contrary, longer wavelength light has proportionally less energy and can penetrate tissues deeply. Indeed, due to lower absorbance, most pronounced transmission of light through cerebral and other tissues occurs in the red and near infrared range (between 600 and 1300 nm) (Taroni et al., 2003).

In conclusion, there is a still-growing body of evidence that neurons self-generate light across a range of wavelengths, from ultraviolet to red and near infrared; and that this light, referred to as biophotons, has during evolution become a means of communication between neurons, informing each other on their different states of activity and homeostasis.
Oct 5, 2023 · How Does Light-Tissue Interaction Affect PBM: Absorption, Reflection, and Scatter. PBM is typically used as a targeted treatment modality in which light needs to be focused primarily on the tissue of interest. Tissues are unique from person to person due to differences in blood content, water content, collagen content, and fiber development.
Oct 22, 2013 · Together, the UWM cluster has found that NIR and blue light repair tissue in dramatically different ways, but both act on the same enzyme in the cell's energy supply center: the mitochondria.
Jul 16, 2024 · UV-A rays have longer wavelengths than UV-B rays, and thus penetrate deeper into the tissue layers of the eye and the skin. UV-A and UV-B rays also differ from each other by how strong their energy is, with UV-A rays having a lower amount of energy. UV-A and UV-B can therefore trigger different biological and health effects. The skin
