How Blue Light Therapy Works?
If you are misery from acne then you may know that there are various causes (hormones, genetics, diet, etc.) but it always forms because of a blockage in follicles, skin organs that produce hairs. The sebaceous glands are attached to these follicles, and produce sebum. Excess of sebum will allow the Propionibacterium acnes bacteria to propagate and form papules, nodules and other inflammatory lesions.
It's been demonstrated that the acne bacteria absorbs light from blue LEDs, which will activate a group of organic compound to release oxygen, killing the bacteria. By using blue light therapy for acne regularly, you will be able to eliminate the bacteria and reduce the inflammation, and thus see your skin get clearer and look much better.
For better results, it is recommended that you combine blue light for acne and red light therapy. Indeed, red light is proven to renew skin cells and thus it can reduce scars and redness caused by the inflammation. As mentioned earlier, red light can also be used to reduce wrinkles and fine lines, age spots, but it's also used for pain relief.
