Photochemical Effect
Direct transfer of energy to the biological sublayers, causes:
- Enzymatic Activation
- Increase in ATP production
- Modulation of cellular metabolism
- Effect on pain perception threshold
Photothermal Effect
Photothermic interaction is based on the conversion of optical radiation into thermal energy, which causes:
- Increase in circulation
- Increased supply of oxygen and nutrients
Photomechanical Effect
The absorption of energy involves the formation of mechanical waves, which causes:
- Production of the extracellular matrix
- Acceleration of lymphatic peristalsis
- Re-absorption of edamas
- Reactivation of microcirculation
