Red Light Therapy Improves AMH
“What Can I Do To Improve my AMH?” is a question I’m frequently asked by clients.
What is Red Light Therapy for Fertility?
Photobiomodulation (LLLT/PBM) is often referred to as red light therapy, uses targeted light therapy to stimulate cellular function and improve blood flow. By enhancing mitochondrial activity (the powerhouse of the cell) and reducing oxidative stress, laser therapy creates an optimal environment for reproductive health. Think of it as giving your cells a gentle nudge toward better performance, helping your body support conception from the inside out.
In Japan Dr.Yoshimasa Asada’s clinic used laser with a group of women, including those with low ovarian reserves and repeated IVF failures. The results were impressive.
Clinical Results: Red Light Therapy and Low AMH Success
Between 2010 and 2015, Dr. Asada’s team treated 188 women with laser therapy. Here’s what they found:
56.4% of patients attending the clinic achieved clinical pregnancies.
38.8% resulted in live births.
What was most surprising was that even women with undetectable Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) levels, saw positive changes.
In 17 women with undetectable AMH, 7 achieved clinical pregnancies, and gave birth.
In 13 women with an AMH level of 0.1, 5 women achieved clinical pregnancies and 6 gave birth
Success Stories of Red Light Therapy for Fertility
Here’s the breakdown of the age groups:
In the age group of 20 - 29 = 5 achieved a clinical pregnancy, and 4 gave birth.
In a group of 95 women aged 30 - 39 = 65 achieved a clinical pregnancy and 48 gave birth.
In the last group of 87 women aged from 40 - 41 = 36 women achieved a clinical pregnancy and 21 gave birth.
Let’s take a look at the case studies from the Asada Clinic.
Case 1: A Journey to Parenthood at Age 41
A 41-year-old woman with undetectable AMH had laser therapy after 7 unsuccessful retrievals. With just 3 more retrievals and a second embryo transfer, she gave birth to a healthy baby.
Case 2: Overcoming Endometriosis and Low AMH
A 35-year-old woman with a history of endometriosis and multiple failed ART cycles finally had success after 10 laser sessions. Following one more retrieval she welcomed her baby.
Case 3: A Second Child with Red Light Therapy
Another 35-year-old with undetectable AMH levels turned to laser after multiple failed attempts for a second child. After just 6 laser sessions during a single cycle, she had her second baby.
Additional Benefits of Red Light Therapy for Fertility
While the goal was to support fertility, women also reported some other unexpected benefits, including:
Improved circulation: Many noticed relief from cold hands and feet.
Reduced tension: A significant reduction in shoulder stiffness and overall discomfort.
Peace of mind: As one patient shared, “I feel like I’ve done everything I can.”
How Red Light Therapy Fits into Fertility Treatments
Dr. Asada’s findings underscore a crucial point: Laser therapy may not be a primary treatment (yet), but it’s a powerful complementary therapy. Conclusion: Hope for Low AMH with Red Light Therapy
Dr. Asada’s work reminds us that innovation, persistence and courage go hand in hand when it comes to fertility care. Whether you’re just beginning your journey or exploring new options after setbacks, red light therapy for fertility is paving the way for more hopeful outcomes. It’s not just about the science—it’s about creating possibilities and turning dreams into reality.
So, if you’re looking for an extra boost in your fertility journey, consider the possibilities of red light laser therapy. Science, technology, and hope are lighting the way forward.
