Summary

This study follows 300 adults who receive light therapy before and after plastic surgery as part of their routine care. Researchers will track pain, swelling, bruising, and patient satisfaction over time. The goal is to describe recovery outcomes, not to compare treatments.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
perioperative photobiomodulation light therapy (ELIXIR MD™ device)
What this could lead to
If successful, this study could show that adding light therapy to standard care improves recovery after plastic surgery, potentially guiding future treatment recommendations.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study without a comparison group, so it cannot prove the light therapy causes better outcomes. Results may be influenced by other factors and may not apply to all patients.

Who is studied

The study population consists of adult patients aged 18 years or older undergoing elective plastic surgery procedures (facial or body) at participating plastic surgery practices. All participants receive perioperative care in which the ELIXIR MD™ photobiomodulation device may be used as part of standard clinical practice, at the discretion of the treating surgeon. The registry enrolls patients across a range of procedure types and skin phototypes and collects de-identified patient-reported and clinical recovery data during routine perioperative follow-up.
