Now there is effective acne treatment without costly acne medications. Discover the benefits of blue light therapy...

“[Blue light treatment] is a major breakthrough and could be an excellent alternative for those patients who have had minimal success with traditional therapies…” -- Dr. Arielle N.B. Kauvar

Blue Light Kills Acne Bacteria
"[Blue] Light gets at the core of what causes acne eruptions: P. acnes, the bacterial responsible for causing acne inflammation, pumps out tiny molecules called porphyrins. When those porphyrin are exposed to certain wavelengths of light, they produce free radicals that kill the bacteria. Without P. acnes around to cause inflammation, acne clears up." American Academy of Dermatology

In addition, David Olszewski, co-author of “ Light Years Ahead” found that skin heals almost 200% faster when exposed to red light.

That makes the most powerful acne treatment a combination of bacteria-killing blue lights and skin-healing red lights.

A Summary of Research Leading to Approval of Blue Light Therapy for Acne:

Red Light Aids Healing
Research reported in the British Journal of Dermatology (July 2000) found that regular sessions under blue and red light has been shown to "radically" help clear acne in moderate and less severe cases.

"The consultant dermatologist Tony Chu sent 120 patients home with specially designed red and blue lamps to be used for 15 minutes each day. The results, published in the British Journal of Dermatology, show a 76% drop in visible spots over 12 weeks." Taken from a report by Simon Bowers.

The blue light, as described below, attacks the bacteria that causes the acne, and the red light has an anti-inflammatory and healing effect on the skin. In fact, research done by David Olszewski, co- author of the book “Light Years Ahead” has shown that skin heals almost 200% faster when exposed to red light.

Blue Light Kills Acne Bacteria
"Light gets at the core of what causes acne eruptions: P. acnes, the bacterial responsible for causing acne inflammation, pumps out tiny molecules called porphyrins. When those porphyrin are exposed to certain wavelengths of light, they produce free radicals that kill the bacteria. Without P. acnes around to cause inflammation, acne clears up." American Academy of Dermatology October 2002

"A low intensity blue light source (405 nm to 420 nm) has been studied for the treatment of mild to moderate inflammatory acne. In the study, two 15-minute exposures a week for a period of four weeks produced a 60 percent reduction in acne in 80 percent of patients. Reported remissions from acne lasted as long as three to eight months." American Academy of Dermatology

FDA Approves Light Therapy for Acne
The FDA approved blue light therapy for acne in August 2002. Patients are exposed to a blue light source for 30+ minutes twice per week for 4 weeks. Each treatment costs between $50 and $60 per session, making a full course of treatment an average of $400. Light therapy for acne is considered "cosmetic" and is therefore not covered by insurance.

Blue Light therapy is often performed in conjunction with other acne treatments such as chemical peels and IPL treatments. As Blue light therapy does not irritate the skin in anyway it is usually performed post more aggressive treatments during the same visit.
