Clinical Application of a New Near-Infrared Light-Emitting Diode with Broader Spectrum for Skin Rejuvenation and Hair Growth Enhancement.
Article in Aesthetic plastic surgery, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundLow-level light therapy (LLLT) and light-emitting diode (LED) therapy have gained popularity in aesthetic dermatology for their effectiveness and convenience in treating skin aging through photobiomodulation (PBM). Recent advancements have led to the development of a new near-infrared (nNIR) LED device with a broader spectrum, aiming to enhance skin rejuvenation and hair growth. This study aims to clinically evaluate the efficacy of this nNIR device.
methodsThe study included two segments: skin rejuvenation and hair growth evaluation. For skin rejuvenation, 20 participants aged 45-59 used an nNIR LED facial mask for 30 minutes, five times a week over 12 weeks. Parameters such as wrinkle count, skin moisture, elasticity, and density were measured. For hair growth, 25 participants aged 20-55 applied the same device to the scalp daily for 20 weeks, assessing hair growth at 6, 13, and 20 weeks.
resultsSkin rejuvenation showed significant improvements, with wrinkles decreasing by up to 27.22% and skin texture, elasticity, moisture, and density also improving. Hair growth evaluation indicated a 1.33% increase in hair count by 20 weeks, with high participant satisfaction and no adverse reactions reported.
conclusionThe nNIR LED device demonstrated clinical efficacy in skin rejuvenation and hair growth, highlighting the benefits of a broader spectral range in PBM. While further research with larger and more diverse populations is recommended, this nNIR LED device suggests significant potential for advancements in aesthetic treatments.
