Photobiomodulation Reduces Periocular Wrinkle Volume

A 2023 clinical study investigated the effects of photobiomodulation (PBM) using red and amber LED light therapy on periocular wrinkles (crow’s feet) and skin rejuvenation.

Key Findings

Researchers found that both red and amber wavelength PBM treatments produced significant improvements in skin appearance, including:

• Approximately 30% reduction in wrinkle volume
• Improved skin smoothness and texture
• Enhanced skin rejuvenation and firmness
• Visible reduction in signs of skin aging around the eyes

The treatments were noninvasive and well tolerated, with no significant adverse effects reported.

How It Works

Photobiomodulation uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate cellular activity and mitochondrial energy production (ATP). This process may:

• Support collagen and elastin production
• Improve skin repair and regeneration
• Reduce inflammation and oxidative stress
• Enhance overall skin quality

Conclusion

The study concluded that red and amber LED photobiomodulation is an effective, safe, and noninvasive option for reducing periocular wrinkles and improving visible signs of skin aging. (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36780572/)
