先前在文献中已经报道了单独使用可见光或近红外光谱光用于皮肤更新的目的。这些设备使用大型二极管阵列将光传递到皮肤。在这项研究中，提出了一种新的方法，发光二极管（LED）的光子嫩肤结合这些波长的组合从一个小的手持单元。22名面部皱纹受试者在4周内接受了8次光疗治疗，使用Omnilux手持LED系统。由皮肤科医生在第6、9和12周评价总体皮肤分级评估。其他结局指标包括临床摄影和患者满意度评分评估。74%的受试者报告在治疗后8周细纹和皱纹明显改善。从小型便携式手持设备提供的红色和近红外LED组合疗法代表了一种有效且可接受的光子嫩肤方法。需要进一步研究以优化治疗参数。
The use of visible or near-infrared spectral light alone for the purpose of skin rejuvenation has been previously reported in the literature. These devices use large arrays of diodes to deliver light to the skin. In this study, a novel method of light-emitting diode (LED) photo rejuvenation incorporating a combination of these wavelengths delivered from a small handheld unit is proposed. Twenty-two subjects with facial rhytides received eight light therapy treatments over a course of 4 weeks, using the Omnilux handheld LED system. Assessment of global skin grading was evaluated at weeks 6, 9, and 12 by a dermatologist. Additional outcome measures included assessments of clinical photography and patient satisfaction scores. Seventy-four percent of the subjects reported a visible improvement in fine lines and wrinkles at 8 weeks posttreatment. Combination red and near-infrared LED therapy delivered from a small portable handheld unit represents an effective and acceptable method of photo rejuvenation. Further studies to optimize the parameters of treatment are required.
