Light-emitting diode treatments and indications for treatment

Charlson, Paul

2021 Journal of Aesthetic Nursing

doi: 10.12968/joan.2021.10.7.288

Light-emitting diode treatments are an established therapy in many medical aesthetic clinics. Most machines are designed for facial treatment and work by non-thermal photobiomodulation-stimulating fibroblast proliferation, collagen synthesis and growth factors. They use mainly blue, red and near infrared light and are efficacious in treating acne, psoriasis, photorejuvenation and wound healing. The treatment has relatively few side effects and has a short downtime. They tend to be used in combination with other treatment modalities, such as radiofrequency, skin-tightening and lasers, but can be used as a standalone treatment. Treatment protocols vary but usually require several treatments over a few weeks, with the effects taking 3 to 6 months to become evident.Recently, light-emitting diode masks have become popular, but their evidence base for effectiveness is currently weak.

Background:Intradermotherapy is considered a minimally invasive procedure, which works through applications of diluted pharmacological drugs, resulting in facial rejuvenation.Methods:18 women were divided equally into two groups and evaluated before and after treatment (at 45 and 90 days). Four applications were made to the facial region at 15-day intervals; for group 1, traditional injections were given to introduce the anti-ageing substance, and, for group 2, a placebo intervention (0.9% saline application) was given.Results:In the analysis of the group 1 photos, greater filling of the nasogenian groove was observed after two sessions, and the presence of less deep wrinkles in the perioral area was also observed after four treatment sessions. Subjects in both groups complained of pain during the application, even with the use of anaesthetic. Most of the volunteers in group 1 said that the texture of the skin seemed much firmer and classified the therapy as an ‘excellent treatment’.Conclusion:Intradermotherapy shows favourable results in the treatment of facial rejuvenation in women, which is more evident 90 days after the initial application.
