What to Look For Across Studies

01
〰

Wavelength

Was visible red light, near-infrared light or a combination used?

02
≋

Treatment Parameters

Consider irradiance, treatment time, treatment frequency and total exposure.

03
◉

Skin Outcome

Studies may evaluate appearance, texture, hydration, elasticity or other skin-related measures.

04
▥

Study Design

Consider participant numbers, controls, follow-up periods and how outcomes were measured.

Understanding the Evidence

Skin-focused PBM studies may use different wavelengths, devices, treatment schedules, skin areas and outcome measures. Results from one study or protocol should not automatically be assumed to apply to every red light device or skin-focused application.

Research Note:

Research outcomes can vary depending on wavelength, irradiance, treatment duration, treatment frequency, device design, participant characteristics and study methodology.
