Let’s talk LED 🗣️ When a particularly extreme acne breakout happens, it can feel like nothing works fast enough to get us back in the clear. LED is a tremendous treatment option for acne because of its antimicrobial effect.
How does blue light technology work?
Blue light kills the acne-causing bacteria known as Propionibacterium acnes, or P acnes, which can cause inflammation. P acnes is sensitive to blue light. Using the blue light, eliminates the bacteria found in the oil glands in the skin. The result is less oil in the skin and less bacteria, leading to the resolution of acne in the treated areas.
Why is it effective?
Eliminating the bacteria from the skin with help from blue light decreases the inflammation associated with red pimples (papules) seen in acne. After a number of treatments, the blemishes disappear and skin regains its normal appearance.
