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
