Brief Summary

Light-emitting diode (LED) light therapy is increasingly used successfully and without adverse effects in diabetic leg ulcer, chronic low back pain, chronic myofacial pain in the neck and in several dermatoses such as acne, Psoriasis, alopecia areata and skin rejuvenation. A Korean study conducted in 2013 suggested its effectiveness in patients with sensitive skin in connection with rosacea, acne, eczema. The objective of the study is to perform a study in subjects with a sensitive skin without associated dermatosis.
