    Light energy is absorbed by chromophores in cell mitochondria and membranes, elevating ATP synthesis through calcium and the respiratory chain as well as forming reactive oxygen species. This absorbed light energy then stimulates DNA and RNA synthesis, protein synthesis, mitosis, and cell proliferation to promote tissue repair and pain control.
