“Photobiomodulation (PBM), synonymous with low-level light (laser) therapy (LLLT) has gained traction as a noninvasive therapy for skin rejuvenation, including treatment of facial rhytids, dyschromia’s, and acne vulgaris; wound healing including scar management; body contouring (either alone or as a means of enhancing the removal of fat during liposculpture); and androgenic alopecia.
The therapeutic potential of PBM is becoming generally accepted as clinical trial data continues to provide evidence of efficacy and safety.”
“In addition to the expected effects on collagen production in dermal fibroblasts leading to a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles, beneficial effects on hyperpigmented spots have also been observed.”
“Over the years more than 100 double-blind, placebo-controlled studies have been published on the effects of LLLT. These articles also showed the favorable anti-inflammatory effect of LLT.”
