## Definition

Periorbital red light therapy is the targeted application of photobiomodulation (PBM) to the orbital bone, tear trough, and surrounding periorbital tissue using clinically validated wavelengths of 660nm (red) and 850nm (near-infrared). The periorbital region contains the thinnest skin on the human body (approximately 0.5mm at the tear trough), making it uniquely responsive to light therapy — photons reach dermal fibroblasts at 200–500 microns and capillary beds at 300–800 microns with minimal attenuation. Clinical evidence demonstrates that dual-wavelength periorbital PBM stimulates collagen synthesis in the papillary dermis (660nm, 0.5–2mm depth) while simultaneously improving microcirculation via nitric oxide-mediated vasodilation in deeper tissue (850nm, 2–5mm depth). This combination addresses the root mechanisms of periorbital aging: collagen degradation, hemoglobin pooling, and volume loss.
