abstract: Light-emitting diode (LED) photomodulation has become a recognized player in the world of lasers and light sources. It is used to treat a variety of clinical entities, including photorejuvenation, erythema-induced injury following laser and other cosmetic procedures, and acne vulgaris. Its use has increased and will increase further as our understanding of LED devices deepens.
