Until recently, the primary focus of photobiology has centered on the impact of UV radiation on skin health, including DNA damage and oncogenesis; however, the significant effects of visible light (VL) on skin remains grossly underreported. VL has been reported…
Continue Reading→The effects of solar radiation on human skin differ based on skin phototype, the presence or absence of photodermatoses, biological capacity to repair DNA damage, wavelength, intensity of sun exposure, geographic latitude, and other factors, underscoring the need for a…
Continue Reading→Terrestrial sunlight is the portion of electromagnetic radiation that is emitted by the sun and reaches Earth’s surface. It encompasses 3 major components, which include ultraviolet (UV) radiation (290-400 nm), visible light (VL, 400-700 nm), and infrared radiation. The deleterious…
Continue Reading→The negative effects of sun exposure have become better accepted among healthcare professionals and the lay public over recent decades. Most attention has been focused on the effects of ultraviolet (UV) light, particularly UVB wavelengths (290-320 nm). Accordingly, products to…
