Boca Raton, FL (PRWEB) -- Lexington International, LLC, manufacturer and
developer of the HairMax LaserComb® is pleased to welcome Dr. Michael
Hamblin to its Scientific Advisory Board. Dr. Hamblin will provide
professional expertise and guide Lexington in further understanding the
biological mechanism of Photodynamic Therapy. In addition, Dr Hamblin will
help Lexington model optimum energy parameters and assist in developing the
most advanced and effective skincare devices for the consumer mass market.
Dr. Hamblin, a premier expert in the field of laser phototherapy, obtained
his Ph.D. degree in 1977 from Nottingham Trent University in England. Dr.
Hamblin is a principal investigator at Wellman Center of Photomedicine at
Massachusetts General Hospital and an Associate Professor at Harvard Medical
School. Dr. Hamblin's primary research interests cover applications of
photodynamic therapy to cancer, infections and heart disease, and the use of
low-level light therapy for wound healing, hair regrowth, inflammatory
disorders, and brain damage. To date, Dr. Hamblin has authored or
co-authored 86 peer-reviewed scientific research papers, filed over 12 U.S.
patent applications, and given over 50 invited lectures in North America,
Europe, and Asia. Dr. Hamblin chairs an annual conference at SPIE Photonics
West BiOS meeting in San Jose, CA entitled "Mechanisms for Low Level Light
Therapy" .
Lexington is further expanding its home-use device market presence to
include light phototherapy devices for skin care. The skin care device
market is rapidly expanding and Lexington is poised to develop new skin care
devices utilizing phototherapy technology. Lexington believes its key to
success with these new skin care devices will be to develop, with Dr
Hamblin's guidance, devices with optimal technical specifications and
cutting-edge design both of which will ultimately provide positive user
experiences.
Dr. Hamblin states, "We have demonstrated, in both clinical and laboratory
settings, the benefits of photodynamic therapy (combination of non-toxic
dyes and visible light), and photobiomodulation (stimulation of tissue by
light alone). I believe light therapy has a great deal of utility to the
general public, and I look forward to working with Lexington to provide
advice on low level laser and other light therapy technology."
Co-founder and Managing Director of Lexington International, LLC, David
Michaels said, "We are excited to have Dr. Hamblin, a key authoritative
figure in the field of light therapy, available for advice and guidance to
help Lexington maintain leadership in the low-level laser hair growth
sector, and assist in our home use, skin care device development. The
addition of Dr. Hamblin to our Medical Advisory Board reaffirms our
commitment to continued research and contributions to the science behind
light therapy devices for consumer use."
