Zusammenfassung

Im dermatologischen Alltag begegnet uns Licht auf vielfältige Weise. Die biologischen und physikalischen Interaktionen des Lichtes mit der Haut machen Licht bei gezielter Anwendung zu einem potenten Diagnostikum und Therapeutikum. Diese Arbeit soll die Einsatzmöglichkeiten von Lichtdioden und hochenergetischen Blitzlampen in der Dermatologie beleuchten. Beide Lichtquellen finden erst seit jüngerer Zeit Anwendung in der Dermatologie und bereichern neben Breitband-UV-(Ultraviolett-)Lichtquellen, Hochdruckgasentladungslampen und Halogenlampen das Armamentarium der inkohärenten Lichtquellen.

Abstract

In the everyday practice of dermatology, we encounter light in many ways. The biological and physical interactions between light and skin make light a potent diagnostic and therapeutic tool when well directed. This contribution intends to illuminate the possible uses of light-emitting diodes and high-energy flashlamps in dermatology. Both sources of light have only recently been employed in dermatology and in addition to broadband ultraviolet (UV) light sources, high-pressure gas discharge lamps, and halogen lamps enrich the armamentarium of incoherent light sources.
