Photosensitivity Episodes Related to Skin Color in People Treated With Dual‐Wavelength Low Power Laser Therapy: A Retrospective Cohort Study
Self-reported skin color was associated with photosensitivity occurrence during simultaneous laser wavelengths irradiation. Further studies are needed to investigate the mechanisms underlying the relation between melanin and irradiance. Finally, individualized photobiomodulation protocols are needed to ensure patient safety and optimize the therapy's expected effects.
