Visible Light Protection Strategies for Diverse Populations

VL is a biologically active and clinically relevant component of sunlight with disproportionate effects in SOC and certain photosensitive dermatoses. Optimal photoprotection requires a multimodal approach integrating UV and VL protection through physical measures, tinted formulations, emerging broad-spectrum filters, antioxidants, and patient-centred photoeducation. Standardised VL-protection labelling and further clinical research are needed to guide future practice.

Abstract

VL is a biologically active and clinically relevant component of sunlight with disproportionate effects in SOC and certain photosensitive dermatoses. Optimal photoprotection requires a multimodal approach integrating UV and VL protection through physical measures, tinted formulations, emerging broad-spectrum filters, antioxidants, and patient-centred photoeducation. Standardised VL-protection labelling and further clinical research are needed to guide future practice.
