Study of the Efficacy and Tolerance of Light Therapy by Light-emitting Diode (LED) in Sensitive Skin

Light-emitting diode (LED) light therapy is increasingly used successfully and without adverse effects in diabetic leg ulcer, chronic low back pain, chronic myofacial pain in the neck and in several dermatoses such as acne, Psoriasis, alopecia areata and skin rejuvenation.

The objective of the study is to perform a study in subjects with a sensitive skin without associated dermatosis.

The objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of light-emitting diode therapy in subjects with sensitive skin and to assess pain improvement, evaluation of improvement in pruritus and evaluation of treatment tolerance.
