Abstract: Systems and methods for phototherapeutic modulation of nitric oxide in mammalian tissue include use of a first wavelength and first radiant flux of light to stimulate enzymatic generation of nitric oxide, and use of a second wavelength and second radiant flux of light to stimulate release of nitric oxide from endogenous stores of nitric oxide. Pulsed light and/or partially non-overlapping light impingement windows may be used. Non-coherent light impinged on tissue may include a peak wavelength in a range of from 410 nm to 440 nm in the absence of light emissions having a peak wavelength of from 600 nm to 900 nm.

Abstract: Modulated light therapy devices for treatment of dermatological disorders of the scalp are provided. An exemplary device includes a flexible printed circuit board (FPCB) supporting at least one light emitting device having an emitter height. The FPCB includes multiple interconnected panels and bending regions defined in and between at least some of the interconnected panels as to allow the FPCB to be configured in a concave shape to cover at least a portion of a cranial vertex of the patient. At least one light-transmissive layer proximate to the FPCB is configured to transmit (e.g., incoherent) light emissions generated by at least one light emitting device. At least one standoff is configured to be arranged between the FPCB and the scalp of the patient, wherein the at least one standoff includes a standoff height that exceeds the emitter height.

Abstract: Methods of treating skin disorders are disclosed. The methods involve impinging light having a first peak wavelength on the tissue at a first radiant flux, wherein the first peak wavelength and the first radiant flux is selected to provide an anti-inflammatory effect, and impinging light having a second peak wavelength on the tissue at a second radiant flux, wherein the second peak wavelength and the second radiant flux are selected to either stimulate enzymatic generation of nitric oxide to increase endogenous stores of nitric oxide or release nitric oxide from the endogenous stores are disclosed. Representative skin disorders include pruritus, psoriasis, acne, rosacea, and eczema, and the skin can include the scalp. The methods can reduce stinging and/or itching associated with the skin disorder. The anti-inflammatory wavelengths can be in the range of between about 650 and about 680 nm.

Abstract: Embodiments provide methods and apparatus for fabricating blood products, such as platelet-rich plasma, containing elevated concentrations of growth factors such as platelet derived growth factor. The platelet-rich plasma can be autologous, and the concentration of growth factors (e.g., platelet derived growth factor) is elevated relative to other samples isolated from the same subject. The platelet-rich plasma can be used to promote tissue regeneration, including wound healing, joint repair, hair growth, and the like. The compositions can be combined with stem cells and used to treat disorders otherwise treated with stem cells. The growth factors present in the samples can direct the differentiation of the stem cells.

Abstract: Systems, devices, and related methods for phototherapeutic treatment of skin, and more particularly phototherapeutic treatments for skin conditioning and/or the treatment of skin wrinkles are disclosed. Certain aspects relate to impinging light having a first peak wavelength on skin tissue at a first radiant flux, a second peak wavelength on the skin tissue at a second radiant flux, and, optionally, a third peak wavelength on skin tissue at a third radiant flux. The first wavelength may be selected to produce nitric oxide in the skin and/or to release endogenous stores of nitric oxide; the second wavelength may be selected to promote collagen production. Certain methods involve impinging light having a third peak wavelength that may be selected to reduce inflammation. Devices are disclosed that include combinations of housings, light-transmissive elements, and flexible substrates that are configured to deliver such light to one or more targeted areas.
