The Use of a Light-Emitting Diode Device for Neck Rejuvenation and Its Safety on Thyroid Glands

Home-use light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are attracting growing attention regarding their anti-aging effects. Although most previous studies on the use of LED devices as a form of low-level laser therapy reported no significant adverse events, questions regarding the safety of using a light source on secretory tissues have been raised. This study aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of a home-use LED device for neck skin rejuvenation, particularly regarding its effect on thyroid gland morphology and function. Thyroid function tests and ultrasonographic analyses showed no significant changes after 16 weeks of LED use. Evaluation using the Lemperle wrinkle scale and global improvement scales by both investigators and subjects showed significant improvement after 16 weeks of daily application, as well as 8 weeks after discontinuation. Biophysical parameters, such as hydration, elasticity, and density, also showed significant improvements. Hence, the long-term use of the LED device was safe and effective for neck rejuvenation, and showed no significant side effects on the adjacent thyroid and parathyroid glands.

The University

The University of Sydney’s Discipline of Orthodontics has been actively pursuing research in the areas of root resorption, sleep apnea, magnets in orthodontics, implants, acceleration of orthodontic tooth movement (OTM), and remote monitoring (RM). Our research has shed light on many specific factors that influence orthodontically induced inflammatory root resorption (OIIRR). We also explored the effects of some of the most discussed acceleration interventions on OTM and OIIRR, such as vibration, micro-osteoperforations, piezocision, low-level laser therapy, light emitting diode, light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation, and pharmacological substances. Further, we have researched into maximizing orthopedic treatment outcomes of maxillary deficient children with use of intraoral force application with utilization of miniscrew-assisted rapid palatal expander. We are currently trialing use of RM to facilitate orthodontic services in the public dental clinics.
