[0003] The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for photomodulating living tissue, particularly tissue containing human cells, using narrowband, polychromatic electromagnetic radiation emitters. Exposure of living tissue to electromagnetic radiation having a carefully selected spectral wavelength-bandwidth, either for a continuous period of time or in pulses at a predetermined frequency, in which cells can be stimulated to initiate a genetically determined program or regenerative function, Or these same functions are suppressed. The new light modulation devices and methods can be used to control, stimulate, or inhibit cell growt...
