The use of polarized light in aesthetic surgery.
This article presents a clinical investigation of polarized light therapy after aesthetic surgery procedures. The study included patients who the authors underwent face-lifts, blepharoplasties, and various facial ancillary procedures, at center during the past 2 1/2 years. One side of the surgically treated area was managed with polarized light, whereas the other side served as a control. The results were compared using clinical examination only including signs of recovery such as resolution of swelling and bruises. The results in most cases showed a significant difference between the treated and untreated sides.
