Balancing act: optimizing blue light for melanogenesis while minimizing cellular damage in primary human skin cells

Balancing act: optimizing blue light for melanogenesis while minimizing cellular damage in primary human skin cells

IntroductionRecent findings show that visible light, particularly blue light, stimulates melanogenesis in human skin, though the underlying mechanisms remain debated. This study aimed to determine the cell damage threshold of non-ionizing blue light on keratinocytes while preserving their ability to...
