TLDR The new near-infrared LED device improves skin and hair with no side effects.

The study evaluated a new near-infrared (nNIR) LED device with a broader spectrum for skin rejuvenation and hair growth. Involving 20 participants for skin rejuvenation and 25 for hair growth, the study found significant improvements in skin parameters, including a 27.22% reduction in wrinkles, and a 1.33% increase in hair count over 20 weeks. Participants reported high satisfaction with no adverse reactions. The nNIR LED device shows promise for aesthetic treatments, though further research with larger, diverse populations is recommended.
