Light therapy before and after facial plastic surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests a light-based treatment called photobiomodulation (light therapy) given before and after facial plastic surgery to see if it helps recovery. If you are already scheduled for facial surgery, this could be an option to help your skin heal.
