What Is Laser Treatment for Eczema?
Laser therapy is a type of photobiomodulation [1], or light therapy. This type of therapy involves using light to create a physiological effect in tissue and cells.
Laser therapy can be in different wavelengths and light sources, depending on the specific purpose and what you are treating. According to a 2019 research [2] some treatments utilize lasers and some use light-emitting diodes (Leads).
