The Claim

Photonic therapies may restore nitric oxide equilibrium in the skin by mimicking sunlight-induced photolysis, thereby rebalancing reactive oxidants and improving symptoms in chronic inflammatory skin diseases.

These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.

How it works
1 study reviewed
In plain English

Some light-based treatments might help calm down angry, inflamed skin by copying how sunlight naturally balances certain chemicals in your skin, which could make conditions like eczema or psoriasis feel better.

What the research says

1 study

  1. Study: Photo-induced nitric oxide modulation in human skin: Impacts of geographic location and seasonality on health and disease.

    Sunlight helps your skin make a healing molecule called nitric oxide that calms inflammation. The study shows that fake sunlight (photonic therapy) might work the same way to help treat skin diseases like eczema and psoriasis.
