Clinical Studies and Efficacy for Skin Rejuvenation
In a pivotal study published in the National Library of Medicine, researchers Alexander Wunsch and Karsten Matuschka investigated the efficacy of red and near-infrared light treatment for skin rejuvenation. The study involved 136 volunteers and focused on the safety and effectiveness of two novel, non-thermal photobiomodulation light sources. These sources, offering a broader polychromatic spectrum, were tested for their ability to improve skin appearance and texture.
The results, derived from treatments conducted twice weekly, were significant. Participants showed notable improvements in skin complexion, feeling, and collagen density, along with a reduction in skin roughness. These outcomes, validated through clinical photography and ultrasonographic measurements, underscored the potential of these novel light sources in enhancing skin health, surpassing the traditional narrow-bandwidth lasers and LEDs in skin rejuvenation applications.
Clinical studies, as highlighted on the Contour Light Devices website, demonstrate the effectiveness of red light therapy in various applications. These studies provide the scientific backing needed to assure both practitioners and patients of its benefits.
Michelle Moore from New Life Spa in Grove, OK, shares, “I absolutely love how easy it is. If I have to step away, it’s so easy for one of my staff to come in and unhook the system.” This simplicity ensures that red light therapy can be a hassle-free part of your service offerings.
Does The FDA Regulate Red Light Therapy?
Yes, the FDA regulates red light therapy devices. However, the Contour Light System, unique in its design, is the only red light therapy device of its kind that is FDA-cleared for circumferential reduction, pain relief, and improved blood circulation.
This clearance means it meets strict safety and efficacy standards. It is fully vetted so that you can be assured of its safety and effectiveness.
