He lāʻau lapaʻau ʻole invasive ka LED light therapy e hoʻohana ana i nā nalu like ʻole o ke kukui infrared e kōkua i ka mālama ʻana i nā pilikia ʻili like ʻole e like me ka ʻākena, nā laina maikaʻi, a me ka ho'ōla ʻana o nā ʻeha. Ua hoʻomohala mua ʻia no ka hoʻohana lapaʻau e NASA i nā makahiki kanaiwa e kōkua i ka ho'ōla ʻana i nā ʻeha ʻili o nā astronauts - ʻoiai ke hoʻomau nei ka noiʻi ʻana ma ke kumuhana, a kākoʻo, i kona mau pono he nui.
"Me ke kānalua ʻole, hiki i ka mālamalama ʻike ʻia ke loaʻa nā hopena ikaika ma ka ʻili, ʻoi aku hoʻi i nā ʻano ikehu kiʻekiʻe, e like me nā lasers a me nā mea hana kukui pulsed ikaika (IPL)," wahi a Kauka Daniel, he dermatologist i hōʻoia ʻia e ka papa ma New York City. ʻO LED (ʻo ia hoʻi ke kū nei no ka diode emitting light) he "ʻano ikehu haʻahaʻa," kahi e omo ʻia ai ka mālamalama e nā molekala i loko o ka ʻili, kahi e "hoʻololi ai i ka hana biologic o nā cell kokoke."
Ma nā huaʻōlelo maʻalahi iki, hoʻohana ka lāʻau lapaʻau kukui LED "i ka mālamalama infrared e hoʻokō i nā hopena like ʻole ma ka ʻili," wahi a Kauka Michele, he dermatologist i hōʻoia ʻia e ka papa ma Philadelphia, PA. I ka wā o ka mālama ʻana, "komo nā nalu i loko o ka spectrum kukui ʻike ʻia i loko o ka ʻili i nā hohonu like ʻole e hoʻopuka i ka hopena biologic." He mea nui nā nalu like ʻole, no ka mea, ʻo ia ka "mea e kōkua ai i ka hoʻokō ʻana i kēia ʻano hana, ʻoiai lākou e komo i loko o ka ʻili i nā hohonu like ʻole a hoʻoulu i nā pahuhopu cellular like ʻole e kōkua i ka hoʻoponopono ʻana i ka ʻili," wahi a Kauka Ellen, he dermatologist i hōʻoia ʻia e ka papa ma New York City.
ʻO ke ʻano o kēia, hoʻololi maoli ke kukui LED i ka hana o nā ʻili ʻili i mea e hoʻopuka ai i nā hopena like ʻole, ma muli o ke kala o ke kukui i nīnau ʻia - he nui nā mea, a ʻaʻohe o ia mau mea he maʻi kanesa (no ka mea, ʻaʻohe o lākou mau kukuna UV).
