30The Ultimate Guide to Red Light Therapy2.3.6 RLT and PsoriasisOne study explored a new approach to treating psoriasisthat doesn’t respond to usual medical therapies usinglighttherapy.10Psoriasisisachronicskinconditioncharacterized by red, scaly patches. The researchersusedacombinationoftwotypesoflight-emittingdiodes (LEDs): near-infrared light at 830 nm and redlight at 633 nm. These specific wavelengths were chosenfor their known anti-inflammatory effects and ability topromote wound healing.Thestudypsoriasisinvolvedthattreatments.10hadninenotpatientsrespondedwithlong-standingwelltostandardParticipants received two 20-minute lighttherapy sessions per week for 4-5 weeks.

However,they also emphasized that this was a small, preliminarystudy.To confirm these findings and get a clearer picture, scientists need to conduct a larger study with moreparticipants. This new study would also need to have a control group (people who don‘t get the light treatment)and be designed so that neither the patients nor the researchers know who is getting the real treatment. Thishelps to prevent any biases in the results.2.4 RLT for Conditions ofthe Mouth and Nose2.4.1 RLT and Dental HealthOne study explored the potential of RLT in the form of low-level laser treatment in dental care.23Its ability tostimulate healing and reduce inflammation makes it a promising tool for treating gum diseases. However, itseffectiveness depends on various factors, including the wavelength of light used.
