Heiskanen V, Hamblin MR. Photobiomodulation: Lasers vs Light Emitting Diodes? 2018.
This record summarizes category-level photobiomodulation evidence. It is not a clinical study of the rePretty Mat and should not be read as a product-specific treatment claim.
Protocol
What was reviewed or tested
Review comparing coherent laser sources and non-coherent LED sources used in PBM.
Selected outcomes
What the record reports
- Concludes that both lasers and LEDs can be used for PBM while optical delivery and dosimetry remain important.
Required reading
Limitations
- Narrative comparison does not make all laser and LED protocols equivalent.
- No specific mat, panel, belt, or glove is evaluated.
