Historically, acne patients have been advised to stay out of the sun. Harmful ultraviolet rays can help eliminate the disorder but they can also exacerbate the condition and lead to sunburn. With a disorder as stubborn as acne it isn’t wise to determine whether direct sunlight is beneficial or detrimental. Thankfully, technology had delivered a useful therapy for acne. They call acne light therapy.
Ultraviolet rays can be harmful to living tissue. In fact, they’re known to kill the Propionibacterium virus that causes acne. However, the disadvantages of using ultraviolet light for treating acne can be much worse than the disorder itself. The acne light therapy treatment is a promising technique that many individuals of all ages are willing to try when all other treatments fail.
The acne light therapy treatment uses a hand held device that generates a blue light of 415 nm using 38 light emitting diodes. Having a wavelength of 415 nm, the blue light is just shy of the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum. Being on the safe side of the visible spectrum, the treatment comes with none of the harmful side effects of ultraviolet light while weakening the virus and destroying the bacteria in tandem with other topical creams and ointments.
Acne light therapy can be used along with other natural forms of acne treatment, such as herbal treatments that seem to work well with even the most stubborn cases of acne. As with all diseases, the cause of acne must first be ascertained. Acne can be caused by unhygienic conditions as well as hormonal misbalances in the body that lead to extra secretion of body oils that would normally get discharged through clean pores. Clogged skin pores will naturally lead to inflammation and infection.
Medical experts are of the opinion that acne light therapy is the best way to treat acne. It may take a while, but the cure is permanent and leaves minimal scarring. Acne scarring is another problem that needs to be dealt with after the attack has subsided. Dealing with acne scars is very expensive and in a lot of cases the scars are unsightly and permanent. Acne light treatment guarantees to significantly minimize scarring.
Of all the acne treatments, including herbal ones, acne light therapy is the most promising at our disposal today. It’s amazing how much relief—both mental as well as physical—a small hand held device can deliver to a patient who’s tried and tested every treatment for a disorder that stubbornly refuses to go.
Acne light therapy doesn’t require the expert help of a trained medical practitioner. Anyone can use the treatment with the hand held device that’s compatible with any domestic power outlet. Contrary to popular belief, there is no danger from the acne blue light treatment because it is not an ultraviolet therapy.
