UV Lamps Provide Effective Acne Treatment

Acne is a widespread problem in the United States, with at least 85% of the nation’s adolescents suffering from this troublesome skin condition.  In some cases, acne continues into adulthood and leaves millions of people scarred when the condition is severe.  Conventional treatments might work for some, but they are not without complications and mixed results.  Antibiotics can be helpful but may build up an antibiotic resistance which has become an issue in the United States.  Topical treatments can be harsh leaving the skin feeling very dried out. 

Light Therapy Proving to Be Effective on Acne

Light therapy, also known as phototherapy, is proving to be a solution for many that have been waiting for a safe, clean and effective acne treatment.  Combining blue light therapy with red light therapy is proven to effectively treat acne, bringing relief to long time sufferers.  Light is broken down into colors, then measured with wavelengths, known as nanometers (nm).  Blue light emitted at 415nm has strong antibacterial effects and is very effective at killing the bacteria causing acne to prevent breakouts.  Red light at a wavelength of 600nm to 700nm is proven to soothe inflammation while stimulating cell regeneration, healing and repair.
