Wetenschap en lichttherapie
Lichttherapie wordt al 35 jaar wereldwijd door schoonheidsspecialisten en dermatologen gebruikt voor huidverbetering. Vanwege de eenvoud en effectiviteit van de toepassing is het voor veel huidspecialisten de eerste keuze voor de behandeling van acne, huidregeneratie en anti-aging.
De effectiviteit van lichttherapie is duidelijk aangetoond door middel van klinisch onderzoek en wordt beschreven in artikelen in toonaangevende professionele 'peer-reviewed' wetenschappelijke bladen. Hieronder een kleine selectie.
