Red light therapy may also be effective at treating skin conditions. Studies show that it can increase cell proliferation and tissue restoration following burns and diabetic foot ulcers. It may also help treat pemphigus vulgaris, a chronic disease that causes blisters, though this study was limited to 10 patients. Red light therapy may also stimulate hair growth — limited studies recently showed it may be effective for regrowing hair after chemotherapy, though, again, more research is needed in this area.
