Attitudes on, Practices, and Recommendations for Visible Light Protection Amongst Dermatology Practitioners.
Background: Iron oxides, antioxidants, and pigmentary titanium dioxide are sunscreen additive ingredients that enhance visible light protection, reduce associated hyperpigmentation, and protect against certain photosensitive dermatoses There are currently no standardized recommendations for visible light protection with these additive ingredients, leading to varied clinical recommendations.
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate dermatology practitioners' counseling practices for visible light protection.
Methods: An electronic survey was distributed to dermatology practitioners. Survey responses were compiled for analysis, and statistical significance was calculated using a standard 95% confidence interval.
Results: 91.68% of 974 respondents actively counsel patients about visible light protection, primarily emphasizing its role in exacerbating pigmentation in patients with melanin-rich skin (70.92%). Of these, 10.34% recommended sunscreens with visible light protective additive ingredients specifically for patients with melanin-rich skin, and 48.89% recommended them for managing melasma or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Iron oxide additive ingredients were most frequently recommended (90.92%), followed by antioxidants (69.08%) and pigmentary TiO2, (58.85%). 8.32% of respondents reported not counseling patients about visible light protection, with major reasons encompassing the lack of standardized guidelines (50.62%), challenges in recommending suitably tinted sunscreens (27.16%), limited availability of sunscreen options (23.46%), and insufficient supportive data (18.52%).
Conclusion: There is a need for increased education and awareness regarding visible light protection strategies and the identification of patients who may benefit the most from a targeted photoprotective strategy. Establishing standardized guidelines and broadening the availability of sunscreen options conferring visible light protection may help address these gaps.
