Hormone Photomodulation

Meaning

Hormone photomodulation is the scientific principle and therapeutic application of using specific wavelengths of light exposure to influence the synthesis, secretion, or metabolic activity of endocrine hormones. This field recognizes that the human body’s hormonal systems are not solely regulated by internal feedback loops but are also highly responsive to environmental light signals. The most recognized example is the direct light-induced suppression of melatonin, but research extends to light’s impact on cortisol, testosterone, and Vitamin D metabolism. Clinically, photomodulation involves precisely timed and spectrally controlled light exposure to optimize hormonal rhythms and output.
