Preliminary LED experiments have resulted in quicker wound healing and prevention of lesions. LED treatments have produced faster healing of diabetic skin ulcers and other sores. Doctors are studying how light treatment affects diabetic skin ulcers, burns, flesh wounds and mouth ulcers from chemotherapy and radiation for cancer.
Research shows LED exposure stimulates faster growth in human muscle and skin cells.
The same LEDs have provided light for plant growth experiments on eight Space Shuttle missions and are being used to treat cancer patients with life-threatening brain tumors. This space technology has just been inducted into the U.S. Space Foundation's Space Technology Hall of Fame.
