Salt caves as simulation of natural environment and significance of halotherapy
The study, “Salt caves as simulation of natural environment and significance of halotherapy,” conducted by Joanna Zając, Iwona Bojar, Jadwiga Helbin, Emilia Kolarzyk, and Alfred Owoc, investigates the therapeutic benefits of halotherapy in salt caves, which simulate the microclimate of natural salt environments. The researchers aimed to assess public awareness of salt caves and their […]
Low-level laser (light) therapy (LLLT) in skin: stimulating, healing, restoring
In the article Low-level laser (light) therapy (LLLT) in skin: stimulating, healing, restoring, researchers Pinar Avci and colleagues examine how Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT), which uses red and near-infrared light, can help improve skin health. The therapy works by shining light onto the skin, which is absorbed by cells and triggers natural healing processes. These […]
Combination 830-nm and 633-nm light-emitting diode phototherapy shows promise in the treatment of recalcitrant psoriasis: preliminary findings.
In this study, Dr. Glynis Ablon tested a new treatment for psoriasis, a skin condition that causes red, flaky patches. The treatment used light therapy with two types of light: one in the red range (633 nm) and the other in near-infrared (830 nm). Nine patients with psoriasis, who had not had success with other […]
A Controlled Trial to Determine the Efficacy of Red and Near-Infrared Light Treatment in Patient Satisfaction, Reduction of Fine Lines, Wrinkles, Skin Roughness, and Intradermal Collagen Density Increase
In the study conducted by Alexander Wunsch and Karsten Matuschka, the researchers aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of two novel light sources for polychromatic, non-thermal photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy, focusing on skin rejuvenation and collagen production. The study involved 136 volunteers, who were randomly assigned to receive either 611–650 nm or 570–850 nm polychromatic […]
Halotherapy application in skin and dermatology programs
