<p>A method and device for inducing or promoting growth and proliferation of skin cells or tissue or for controlling bacterial skin infection is described. The skin cells are irradiated with a low-intensity broad sprectrum light at a wavelength of between about 340 to 3,000 nm. The increase in rate of cultivated cells in useful for example to obtain skin-like tissue needed for skin grafts or for promoting healing of skin wounds or lesions. Light-induced skin bacteria control is useful for example in the treatment of bacterial infections of the skin.</p> |
