Amoled screen burn in fix (need second opinion)

So I've read online that displaying a pure white image for a few hours should fix or greatly reduce burn in on LCD displays. Obviously, I have an amoled display. I was just worried that if I did this to fix my minor screen burn in (which is the outline of the keyboard from writing so many posts and replies on this site) that it could damage the screen further and make the burn in worse. So, do you think is a safe thing to do? I've read that it has worked for many amoled displays but I want to be sure

So after some independent research I've come to believe that what we're experiencing, mainly the new owners is actually some form of image retention. I checked my "burn in" before and after displaying the nav bar and it seems to aggravate the issue when something is on screen for long periods of time. Download the amoled burn in fixer and test it for yourself! Personally I'm relieved, a little image retention is a non issue :)
 
Hi I recently did some experiments with my S3 Neo, after fixing the random shutdown problem and adding internal scintillator to the front camera for detecting X-rays and gammas the next task was fixing the severe screen burn.
Its interesting to note that on this one the green is not burned in at all yet red and blue are.

I found that irradiating the panel with infrared light from a 0.25W 900nm emitter originally intended for PIR use while leaving it on the red screen in the #*0 menu (turn flight mode on!!) seemed to help.
So far about 30% of the burn is gone on the blue in the irradiated spot only with 1 hour of use, red is still damaged a bit but still shows some signs of recovery on my photodiode setup.
Its worth noting that in the spots where the 900nm light hits the red it glows brighter, so something strange is going on.
Perhaps the two wavelengths mix together and somehow knock the blue OLED molecules (anthracene?) and red PPV back into a useful emitting state again, that would make some sense.
Will try again with the green enabled and get back on here with the results.
EDIT: Fixed typos, also I've used a triple junction emitter on an old MP4 watch a few years back but that one rendered the picture from no visible emission to a faint ghost so thats hardly a success. There are three distinct mechanisms of degradation of which one is indium (In) migration.
