Do Women Need Less Intensity in Red Light Therapy? Understanding Skin Optics for Better Dosing.

Do women need less intensity with Red Light Therapy? We review the optical window for photobiomodulation, and research how tissue optics differ from men to women.

Two-Dimensional Dosing Theory: The dose relates to the biological effect of red light therapy. Too little dose gets no response....
