Unveiling the Power of Light Therapy: Dr. Michael Hamlin on Photobiomodulation

Published 2024-03-28
Join us at the "Independence from Pain Summit" as Kay Aubrey-Chimene Director of the Photonic Therapy Institute, hosts an enlightening conversation with the world-renowned light therapy researcher, Dr. Michael Hamlin. With a prestigious background as a Principal Investigator at the Wellman Center for Photomedicine, Massachusetts General Hospital, and Associate Professor of Dermatology at Harvard Medical School, Dr. Hamlin dives deep into the realm of photobiomodulation, sharing insights from his extensive research spanning photodynamic therapy, red light therapy, nanomedicine, and beyond.

In this exclusive interview, Dr. Hamlin sheds light on the fascinating origins of photobiomodulation, tracing back to André Mester's groundbreaking experiments in 1967. Discover how what started with the humble intention of exploring laser radiation's potential to cure skin cancer led to the serendipitous discovery of hair regrowth and enhanced wound healing in rats, setting the foundation for modern photobiomodulation therapy.

Explore the evolution from low-level laser therapy to the broader and more accurate term "photobiomodulation," as Dr. Hamlin emphasizes the versatility of light therapy beyond lasers, including LED and filtered lamp sources. This conversation delves into the science behind light therapy, differentiating between laser and LED, the significance of wavelengths, and the critical aspects of dosing for therapeutic effectiveness.

Whether you're a member of the photobiomodulation community on Facebook, a researcher, a practitioner, or simply curious about the therapeutic potential of light therapy, this summit offers invaluable insights. Dr. Hamlin also addresses common questions and misconceptions, such as the debate between laser vs. LED and the implications of different light wavelengths on tissue healing.

    Extremely interesting and informative interview, thank you! And, good luck with your research papers. I remember what a pain they were to write. If I had to pull one together today, I would definitely outsource my data.
