Acne Blue Light Therapy

Acne is a very common problem. Most everyone will have acne at some point during their lives. For some, acne can become a real problem. Many people suffer from recurring breakouts that they have trouble managing with traditional acne treatments. Luckily acne blue light therapy can help clear up your skin once and for all. Before you decide whether or not blue light is the right treatment for your acne it is helpful to understand more about the problem.


The skin condition known as acne occurs when the Propionibacterium acnes bacteria multiply and spread. Too much of this bacteria causes the skin to produce excess sebum, which in turn clogs the pores along with dead skin and dirt. This leads to what we call acne. Blackheads, whiteheads, pustules, nodules and cysts may occur. Often the key to eliminating acne is stopping it at its source. Blue light kills p. acnes bacteria and can prevent it from reoccurring. Having this treatment performed is safe and completely painless. Because acne bacteria does spread quickly, you will need multiple sessions spaced close together.

For this reason manufacturers have come up with home blue light therapy devices for the treatment of acne. These devices work just like the ones at your dermatologists office.You simply sit in front of them for a certain amount of time per day. You may not have to do treatment every day. Some people only treat their skin every few days. Some units come with both blue and red lights. Red light can help rejuvenate the skin and helps the blue light treatment work more efficiently. Some people use red light therapy for anti-aging purposes. These home use light boxes are more affordable and convenient than going to the dermatologist every time you need a treatment.

If you are interested in acne blue light therapy a good first step is consulting with your dermatologist. He or she can help you devise a treatment regimen that includes blue light therapy. You may also want to use topical acne treatment medication (prescription or over the counter) to supplement your light therapy. It takes up to 12 weeks to see results from light therapy, so be patient. Consistent use of blue light therapy may help you achieve the clear, beautiful skin you've always wanted.
