1436 Lasers Med Sci (2018) 33:1431–1439 Fig. 3 Representative image of LED therapy on androgenetic alopecia. a Miniaturized hair follicle; b treatment with red light (630 nm); healthy hair follicle Conclusion PDT is an effective form of treatment for an increasing number of human conditions, ranging from cancer to several skin con- ditions. Benefit deriving from the use of light is known since ancient time, but only in the last decades of twentieth century, we witnessed the rapid expansion of knowledge and tech- niques. Recent improvements of the therapy are related espe- cially to photosensitizer’s development and delivery systems. Nowadays, the use of LED-based devices represents the emerg- ing and safest tool for the treatment of many conditions such as skin inflammatory conditions, aging, and disorders linked to hair growth. Although the use of LED in the treatment of hair disorders has now entered common practice, better controlled studies are still needed to corroborate its efficacy.
