LED Light Treatment: Clinical (Pre)Treatment For Surgery, Cancer, Skin Cancer Denis F. Branson, MD In recent years, LED light systems have become available in a variety of wavelengths.? This paper represents my personal experience in 533 treatments over the period of 1 January 04 to 31December 04.? Treatments were performed with the Omnilux 417nm (blue), 633 nm (red), or 830 nm (near infrared)? Breast Capsule: Augmentation, Reconstruction, Tissue Expansion Five of five patients treated with either 633 nm (red) alone, or 830/633 nm combined therapy once weekly for a minimum of 3 treatments.? Patients saw changes in implant hardness within 10 days of the first treatment.? Capsular contracture was reduced fro Baker III-IV to Baker I-II.? CO2 Laser Resurfacing: Pre-treatment Patients undergoing laser resurfacing received 3 treatments before resurfacing, using either 633nm or a combination of 830/633nm.? Three 633nm (once weekly) treatments were administered after re-epithelialization.? All patients were treated using the Sharplan Feathertouch system, using 3 passes of 120 watts.? Where previous patients required 10-20 days to heal, pre-treated patients were epithelialized in 6-7 days.? Erythema at 3-4 weeks was comparable to previous patients at 3-4 months.? One male smoker experienced resolution of erythema within ~4 weeks.? ?Upper and lower eyelids resurfaced at 80 watts were epithelialized within 4 days. Hair Removal: Post-IPL treatment Immediately following IPL hair treatment, 2 maintenance hair removal patients were treated with 633nm lite.? Both noted improved hair reduction that previously experienced. Fat Graft Survival: Pre-treatment While the results of any fat injection treatment can be variable, of the treated patients, it was my clinical impression that both the short term edema was reduced/abbreviated and fat graft survival was enhanced at ? 3-6 month follow-up.? Three weekly pre-treatments of 633 nm or 830/633 nm combined treatments were perfor
