Brief summary
Participants will experience a rejuvenating twice-weekly light therapy journey that blends the power of blue, red, and infrared light. Each 20-minute session flows through three phases: starting with refreshing blue light to awaken and energize, then moving into soothing red light, and finishing with deeply nourishing infrared light. This unique protocol is designed to help unlock healthier-looking skin and boost your natural glow.
Detailed description
Treatment activities: Twice a week, for 20 minutes, participants will undergo exposure to blue, red, and infrared light as part of the light therapy treatment. Assesments and frequency: Comprehensive Weekly Skin Health Self-Assessment: Conducted weekly. Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI): Conducted during the study. Facial Skin Self-Assessment Survey: Conducted during the study. Pre/Post Photos of Participants' Skin: Conducted at the beginning and end of the study. Methodology: The study entitled See the Impact Beem's Blue Light Therapy Has on Your Skin Health! aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a light therapy regimen on improving skin health. This single-arm observational trial, conducted under Efforia's Signal Phase study design, involves participants undergoing a twice-weekly, 20-minute light therapy session. Each session is structured into three phases: starting with blue light, transitioning to red light, and concluding with infrared light, each targeting different aspects of skin health. By allowing participants to act as their own control, the trial will provide initial insights into the potential benefits of this therapy for enhancing skin appearance and health, with a focus on gathering preliminary efficacy and safety data. The study's methodology is designed to assess how these light therapies influence skin conditions through a series of personalized assessments and feedback mechanisms. Participants will engage in various self-assessment tasks, including a Comprehensive Weekly Skin Health Self-Assessment, Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) surveys, and Facial Skin Self-Assessment Surveys. These tasks are complemented by pre- and post-therapy photographic documentation to visually track skin changes. By collecting this data, the trial seeks to discern patterns and indications of improvement in skin health, potentially providing a directional indication of positive results from the intervention.

| Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) | Baseline through Day 30 (weekly assessments) | The Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) is a survey designed to measure the impact of skin-related issues on the quality of life over the past week. It assesses various dimensions of daily living, from personal discomfort to social interactions, influenced by skin conditions. This index is valuable for both patients and healthcare providers to understand the severity and emotional toll of dermatological issues. By quantifying the effects on daily activities and personal relationships, the DLQI helps in guiding treatment decisions and measuring treatment outcomes. Scoring Range Minimum score: 0 Maximum score: 30 Each of the 10 items is scored from 0 to 3, yielding a total score between 0 and 30. Score Interpretation Higher scores indicate worse outcomes, meaning a greater negative impact of skin disease on a participant's quality of life. |
