Photobiomodulation
Photobiomodulation through the eye can stimulate key areas of the brain, promoting the release of beneficial substances throughout the body.
Research
Roberto Pinelli studies light at the same warm wavelengths found in sunlight at sunrise and sunset as a treatment for eye conditions such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and other macular disorders.
In recent years, however, his research has led him to use photobiomodulation also, and above all, as a means of stimulating the pineal gland. Also known as the epiphysis, this gland is sensitive to light and acts much like an orchestra conductor, coordinating our cellular dynamics and our self-awareness [1].
Light stimulation that reawakens the cells
In his clinical experience, Roberto Pinelli has observed that photobiomodulation of the pineal gland, delivered through the eye as a gateway for light, triggers a cascade of bioregulatory effects. These include modulation of the endocrine system, stimulation of cellular respiration and restoration of the body’s overall physiological balance [2].
By transmitting light signals to the pineal gland, this approach is intended to promote systemic regeneration and rejuvenation, together with a renewed sense of psycho-emotional balance.

Photobiomodulation (PBM) is a non-invasive therapy that uses red and near-infrared light to stimulate biological processes within cells. It uses wavelengths ranging from 630 to 850 nanometres, corresponding to wavelengths present in sunlight at sunrise and sunset.
Traditionally, members of ancient tribal cultures exposed themselves to this light – and some continue to do so today – in search of physical and spiritual renewal.
According to this approach, light used in photobiomodulation enters through the eye and reaches light-sensitive receptors in the pineal gland, located near the centre of the brain. The light stimulates the gland, which releases a range of substances and hormones into the cerebrospinal fluid.
These substances can then circulate through the body, where they are thought to support cellular regeneration, contributing to well-being, health and the body’s natural renewal processes.
