U-Endre Mester, ugqirha waseHungary, kunye nogqirha wotyando, uzukiswa ngokufumanisa iziphumo zebhayoloji ze-laser ezinamandla aphantsi, ezenzeka kwiminyaka embalwa emva kokuveliswa kwe-laser yeruby ngo-1960 kunye nokuveliswa kwe-laser ye-helium-neon (HeNe) ngo-1961.
UMester waseka iLaser Research Centre kwiYunivesithi yaseSemmelweis Medical eBudapest ngo-1974 waza waqhubeka esebenza apho ubomi bakhe bonke. Abantwana bakhe baqhubeka nomsebenzi wakhe baza bawungenisa eMelika.
Ngowe-1987 iinkampani ezithengisa iilaser zathi zinokunyanga iintlungu, zikhawulezise ukuphiliswa kweengozi zemidlalo, nokunye okuninzi, kodwa kwakungekho bungqina buncinci boku ngelo xesha.
Ekuqaleni uMester wayeyibiza le ndlela ngokuthi “i-laser biostimulation”, kodwa kungekudala yaziwa ngokuba “yi-low-level laser therapy” okanye “red light therapy”. Njengoko ii-light-emitting diodes zazisetyenziswa ngabo bafunda le ndlela, yaze yaziwa ngokuba “yi-low-level light therapy”, kwaye ukusombulula ukudideka malunga nentsingiselo echanekileyo “ye-low-level”, kwavela igama elithi “photobiomodulation”.
