What We Need to Fix This Problem
Better Calculation Methods
We need standard formulas that account for all the important factors:
Tissue type and depth
Skin color and hair
Equipment settings
Treatment area size
More Complete Equipment Information
Light therapy device makers should provide:
Actual doses reaching target tissues (not just surface doses)
Detailed equipment specifications
Standardized Reporting
All research studies should include the same basic information:
Exact light settings used
Patient characteristics (skin color, treatment area)
How doses were calculated
Equipment specifications
Better Training
Doctors and therapists need training on:
How to calculate proper doses
How different factors affect treatment
How to measure and verify their equipment
