The Blue Light offers acne sufferers the same advantages as the red-light treatment -- Light Emitting Diode (LED based) Intensive pulse light Safe Non-invasive Pain-free Short treatment regimen with impressive results Acne affects millions of adults, teens and children and is a source of frustration, anxiety, and pain for many of them. Here is a way to address mild to moderate cases of acne vulgaris. How does it work? You may have noticed that after you have been in the sun, your acne improves. Scientists have studied what causes this improvement. It was found not to be the harmful UV rays, but the harmless --to humans -- blue light of the spectrum was the agent of healing. By treating the cause of the acne, rather than simply the affects, this blue-light treatment can make a huge difference in a person’s complexion, self esteem, and confidence. The large wand emits intensive-pulsed blue light at a high frequency and short wavelength that kill the bacteria that are a primary cause of acne. This counter bacterial response, truly a photo destruction of acne bacteria, is caused by the pulsed blue light affecting the following changes: It increases the release of oxygen-carrying androgenic porphyries, which attack the bacteria below the skin surface. The porphyrins exposed to blue light produce free radicals which kill the bacteria. The reduction in bacteria is more rapid than the phage can recreate itself, reducing the intensity and spread of acne. Blue light gets to the core of what causes the acne, kills the propionibacterium that are the root cause, and give you a more healthy, beautiful complexion. How long is the treatment? A typical blue light facial treatment takes 30 minutes per area and you can relax comfortably on a table during the light application. The probe is designed with a massaging unit for improved blood flow and comfort. There may be a warm sensation during treatment. What results can I expect from a series of treatments? The blue light massaging treatment can clear most moderate inflammatory acne in as few as 8 treatment sessions. The recommended course for this treatment is twice a week for 4 weeks. The treatment will often make a noticeable difference in the acne within one or two treatments. Following the recommended treatment plan, although you may not see 100% improvement, there should be a substantial decrease in new acne appearing. Is this treatment for you? Possibly. The blue light is better suited for mild to moderate acne, not for those with more profound acne problems that require other treatments.
