Use Acne Light For Clear, Healthy Skin
A skin condition often associated with puberty and teen years, acne can affect men and women throughout their lifetime. Severe acne at any age may cause scaring of the face, neck, chest and back or any other affected area of the body. A new development in the treatment of acne is the use of red and blue light to treat the condition. The acne light treatment method offers several advantages over the traditional treatments.
Acne lights do not involve the use of messy creams or ointments. They can be used while students do homework or watch television.
Acne lights emit light at certain wavelengths. These wavelengths are in the red and blue area of light. Some acne lights only emit the blue light, which helps to kill the bacteria that cause acne. The red light is stimulates healing of the skin where acne has already occurred.
The time investment to use the acne light is from fifteen minutes to thirty minutes daily. The wavelengths have been chose to avoid difficulties with sunburn or other skin damage. Persons who are sensitive to the light should discontinue use.
While you will not see immediate results, you will find that over time consistent use of the acne light will make a marked improvement in your skin condition.
You should choose larger lights if you have several areas that are affected by acne. Some of the larger lights will cover more than one area at one time thus less time can be spent using the light.
Acne is a condition that may affect a student’s self-esteem. If left untreated, it can cause excessive scaring, and may affect the persons feelings of self for many years. The price paid for an acne light and the time invested in its use are a small price to pay for the self confidence it can bring.
