Blue Light Therapy - A Hot Acne Treatment

Today, acne is a very common skin problem mostly faced by the people between the age group of 12 and 24 years. Acne occurs when the oil produced by the skin glands entraps in the pores and thus bacteria traps in those pores which harm the skin.

There are numerous acne treatments depending upon the different kinds of skin. Talking about the most successful treatment, light therapies are the long term solutions to this problem suitable for all the skin types. The most commonly used treatment therapy is the blue light acne therapy.

The major devices which are used for the blue light acne therapy are:   

• Evis MD Platinum Blue   
• Omnilux Clear-U (emits both blue and red light)   
• Baby Quasar - Baby Blue   
• Tanda Professional Skin Care System (emits both blue and red light)   
• ANSR Acne Light Therapy System (emits both blue and red light)
  

Treatment

The blue light therapy kills the bacteria named as P.Acne or Propionibacterium Acne. With the use of blue light, the bacteria are removed from the roots thereby stopping any further increase of acne bacteria.

The dermatologists recommend the blue light therapy treatment for the acne problems as it is a natural treatment and does not cause damage to the skin. The acne wounds and the glands producing these wounds are killed by the blue light treatment.

The main advantage of blue light treatment is that it does not include any kind of severe side effects. It does not harm the skin tissues at all. The dermatologists recommend the use of branded products for acne treatment. The major drawback of the blue light treatment is that can cause problems like swelling, skin dryness or some skin color changes which disappear with time or can easily be overcome under the dermatologist guidance.

The most important point to remember is that the commonly used relevant creams only dries out the pimples however this therapy kills off the bacteria and reduces the lesions, papules and pimples. Combined with red light, acne light therapy is even more effective : it repairs skin cells, reduces acne scars and heals skin faster.
