This study demonstrated that light therapy was able to accelerate bone repair during the initial phase of bone healing. These effects were documented 3 to 5 days following surgery <view study> Read Less

Harvard Medical School Department of Dermatology is encouraging further testing of light therapy for dermatological conditions, particularly due to the "noninvasive nature and almost complete absence of side effects". This published article goes over some of the potential benefits of light therapy for the skin including wrinkles, acne, scars, psoriasis, and healing of burns. <view study> Read Less

Sensitive skin represents a major concern, both medically and aesthetically for the general population, due to its high prevalence. In this study, skin cells were treated with sodium laurel sulfate. Following the addition of this chemical agent onto the skin, light therapy was applied and ALL patients showed both subjective and objective improvements from the light therapy. The results suggest that low level light therapy could be a useful and safe treatment modality for sensitive skin Read Less

In this study, low level light therapy (LLLT) was applied to the forearm of 15 subjects. Before and subsequent to this procedure, blood levels were regularly measured for levels of nitric oxide. The results demonstrated that LLLT increased NO levels in venous blood draining from the treatment site, and this phenomenon peaked after 5 minutes of light therapy <view study> Read Less

Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin, published a study in the Journal of Neuroscience, stating that this was the first demonstrated study showing the beneficial effects of transcranial light stimulation on cognitive and emotional functions in humans. With particular focus on the frontal cortex of the brain, they looked at neuropsychological tests on attention, memory and mood, following transcranial light therapy. The results of the study showed that ALL 3 parameters measured were significantly improved. This lead them to conclude that "Transcranial infrared laser stimulation has also been proven to be safe and successful at improving neurological outcome in humans in controlled clinical trials of stroke. This innovative approach could lead to the development of non-invasive, performance-enhancing interventions in healthy humans and in those in need of neuropsychological rehabilitation" <view study> Read Less
