August 2017 in “Photochemistry and Photobiology” This study found that isolated red light may serve as an alternative for photo-immunotherapy without additional photosensitizers, as it did not reduce keratinocyte differentiation markers or increase photo-oxidative damage, unlike treatment with IL-4 or UVA1/blue light.
April 2024 in “Lasers in medical science” This study found that near-infrared LED therapy enhanced ATP synthesis, reduced reactive oxygen species, and promoted collagen production and hair growth more effectively than white LEDs in human skin cells and a photoaging mouse model.
