Near-Infrared Light for Medical and Aesthetic Benefits
Photobiomodulation in Dermatology: Harnessing Light from Visible to Near Infrared for Medical and Aesthetic Purposes
Study Overview
Description: A review of photobiomodulation (PBM) applications in dermatology, covering mechanisms, wavelengths, light delivery parameters, and treatment outcomes, with a focus on pulsed versus continuous wave delivery.
Source: PubMedresearchgate
Summary
Focus: Applications of red (630, 660 nm) and near-infrared (830, 850, 940 nm) light in dermatology.
Intervention: Review of various PBM interventions, comparing pulsed (especially sequential) to continuous wave light delivery for different dermatological applications.
Methods: Analysis of existing literature and clinical outcomes related to PBM in dermatology.
Conclusion
Sequential pulsing often appears superior to continuous wave and simple pulsed modes for applications like collagen production, wound healing, and pigment modulation.
