Hz Frequency in PBM Red Light Therapy — What Is It?
In photobiomodulation (PBM), the most commonly discussed parameter is wavelength — 660 nm and 850 nm. However, an equally important, often overlooked parameter is the light pulsation frequency (Hz). It determines how cells react to the light signal and what biological processes are activated.
- CW — continuous wave — continuous light, without pulsation.
- PW — pulsed wave — pulsed light. Frequency (Hz) determines how many times per second the light turns on and off.
Frequency is not a technical detail — it is a biological signal that affects mitochondria, the nervous system, inflammatory processes, brain rhythms, and tissue regeneration.
Wavelength (nm) vs Frequency (Hz) — Two Different PBM Parameters
630–660 nm → skin, collagen, microcirculation
810–850 nm → muscles, nerves, brain
904–1064 nm → joints, ligaments, deep tissues
Low Hz (1–10) → calming, relaxation, sleep
Medium Hz (20–50) → tissue regeneration
High Hz (50–100) → activation, deep stimulation
An optimal PBM session combines the right wavelength and the right frequency. Lumaflex® devices allow precise setting of both parameters simultaneously.
PBM Frequency Table 1–100 Hz — Applications and Biological Effects
Data based on scientific literature — results may vary individually.
| Hz Range | Classification | Potential biological effect | Application in studies |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1–5 Hz | Very low | Calming, sleep support, relaxation | Stress, evening sessions |
| 7–10 Hz | Low | Nerve balance, skin, hair | Anti-aging, skincare |
| 20–30 Hz | Medium-low | Tissue regeneration, collagen | Skin, sport, physiotherapy |
| 40 Hz | Gamma | Brain gamma rhythms, concentration | Mental work |
| 50–70 Hz | High | Muscle regeneration, tension reduction | Sport, training, physiotherapy |
| 80–100 Hz | Very high | Deep stimulation, joints | Joints, intense training |

Frequently Asked Questions about Hz Frequency in PBM Red Light Therapy
Scientific research suggests that pulsation frequency can affect how cells react to light. Different Hz ranges can activate various biological pathways. Results may vary individually.
In scientific studies, 40 Hz was most commonly used as a universal frequency. It's a good starting point. Consult a specialist to choose an individual protocol.
Studies do not unequivocally indicate the superiority of one mode over the other. Lumaflex® devices support both modes.
40 Hz corresponds to brain gamma rhythms. Preliminary research suggests that 40 Hz stimulation can support cognitive functions and concentration.
Yes. Lumaflex® Essential Pro and Body Pro Ultimate devices allow precise setting of 1–100 Hz frequency and selection of 660 nm and 850 nm wavelengths.
