- Blue light is an acne treatment, not a cure
- 2. Blue light is effective against the P. acnes, the bacteria that causes inflammatory acne, or acne vulgaris.
- 3. Blue (and red) light acne treatment is successful in about 86% of cases.
- Results using blue light as acne treatment vary widely by individual with results ranging from none to total clearing within 12 weeks of consistent treatment.
The BLUE light emitting surface has tiny diode elements which produce powerful waves of blue light of 405-420 nano Meters. P. acnes, the bacterial responsible for causing acne inflammation, pumps out tiny molecules called porphyrins. When those porphyrin are exposed to certain wavelengths of light (blue), they produce free radicals that kill the bacteria that causes inflammatory acne.
