Near-Infrared and Red Light Therapy For Eczema
Researchers followed 81 patients for nearly a year, measuring how their symptoms progressed with regular treatments.
The researchers evaluated eczema rashes before, during, and after patients the red light therapy treatments. People received just one, 10-minute red light therapy session per week (and Genesis usually recommends 10-15 mins 3x’s per week). Even with such a short treatment, researchers found considerable improvements in common eczema symptoms, including a reduction in all of the following:
Gooseflesh-like bumps (follicular keratosis)
Flaking skin (pityriasis)
Reddening (erythema)
Pimples or swelling (papules)
The research team also evaluated itchiness levels before, during, and after red light therapy and found patients picked their skin less and had fewer leathery patches (lichenification) when treated with red light therapy.
79% found that the treatment effective in their itch sensations and 71% found that skin eruptions improved. .
This study also noted there were “no side effects during or after” the red light treatments, in line with hundreds of other trials and studies on red light therapy for skin and health.
