Until recently, the primary focus of photobiology has centered on the impact of UV radiation
on skin health, including DNA damage and oncogenesis; however, the significant effects of …

The negative effects of sun exposure have become better accepted among health care
professionals and the lay public over recent decades. Most attention has been focused on …

Until recently, visible light (VL) had been regarded to be without significant photobiologic
effect on the skin. Updated research suggests that this is not the case and the measurable …

Visible light (VL) can induce pigmentary alterations, especially in dark-skinned individuals,
and exacerbate photodermatoses and pigmentary disorders. Currently, there is no …

Visible light has been used therapeutically in dermatology for years for a variety of cosmetic
and medical indications, including skin rejuvenation and the treatment of inflammatory and …

Cutaneous photobiology studies have focused primarily on the ultraviolet portion of the solar
spectrum. Visible light (VL), which comprises 50% of the electromagnetic radiation that …

Daily skin exposure to solar radiation causes cells to produce reactive oxygen species
(ROS), which are a primary factor in skin damage. Although the contribution of the UV …

Oxidative stress is an integral element that influences a variety of biochemical reactions
throughout the body and is known to play a notable role in melanogenesis. Exogenous …

Solar, and particularly UV, radiation causes molecular and cellular damage with resultant
histopathologic and clinical degenerative changes, leading in turn to photosensitivity, photo …

Skin damage from exposure to sunlight induces aging-like changes in appearance and is
attributed to the ultraviolet (UV) component of light. Photosensitized production of reactive …
