Low-Level Laser Therapy (Photobiomodulation) for
Fertility & Women’s Health
 

How does low level laser therapy help with fertility?

 

​Low-level laser therapy (LLLT), also called photobiomodulation (PBM), use a specific.  wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to influence cellular activity.

 

In fertility research, PBM has been explored for its potential effects on mitochondria function, circulation, cellular signaling, inflammation, and tissue health, mechanisms that may be relevant to ovarian and reproductive function.

​

Research in fertility remains limited and protocols vary significantly, so PBM should be viewed as an emerging adjunct rather than a proven fertility treatment or replacement for reproductive medical care.

​

At Copley Acupuncture, Marcy White, LAc., DiplAc., MAc., has incorporated low level-laser therapy into fertility-focused clinical care and practitioner education for more than two decades.

What Is Photobiomodulation (PBM)?

Photobiomodulation (PBM), also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT) refers to the use of specific wavelengths of light to influence cellular activity and support tissue function. Depending on the wavelength, power, pulsing, and dose delivered, light may affect mitochondrial activity, circulation, inflammation, cellular signaling, and tissue repair processes.

PBM is currently being explored in many areas of medicine and rehabilitation, including:

​

  • musculoskeletal injuries

  • neurological rehabilitation

  • wound healing

  • pain management

  • inflammation

  • fertility and reproductive medicine

​

In fertility care, researchers have explored whether PBM may help support ovarian function, circulation, tissue health, and reproductive outcomes. While research is still evolving, interest in this area continues to grow internationally.
