LIGHT ACNE/RED LIGHT HEALING TREATMENTS |

Non-invasive, low-level blue light LED (Light
Emitting Diode) therapy has reduced the incidence and severity of acne
flare-ups in adolescents and adults. Short sessions of lying under
specialized blue light can help directly kill the bacteria that cause
acne. P.acnes, the bacteria responsible for causing acne inflammation,
releases tiny molecules known as porphyrins. When the porphyrin
is exposed to the wavelength of blue light, a free radical is produced
that kills the bacteria. Without the presence of P.acnes, the acne
clears up.
Red light therapy can also be used in a variety of skin disorders including
rosacea, for anti-aging, hyperpigmentation, and sun damage. Red
light LED therapy works by non-invasively treating the skin deeply so
as to increase blood circulation and lymphatic activity. |
