What Color of LED Light Is for Acne?
Why acne treatment with LED light?
Porous skin leads to the formation of acne, which is a multifactorial problem. Acne forms due to the accumulation of oil, dead skin, and bacteria (P. acnes). Most conventional therapies focus on one of the treatment pillars such as oil reduction or bacterial infection, but LED light therapy works on all three: it kills bacteria, reduces inflammation, and soothes overactive oil glands. As the name suggerst, the main ingrident of the light therapy is LED, with different colors targeted towards different areas of acne treatment. The most effective is the blue light.
Blue light: The acne-fighting powerhouse
Blue light gets the prize for leading the power acne treatment. The wavelength of blue light, which ranges from 415 to 420nm, penetrates just deep enough to stimulate the P. acnes bacteria which produces a molecule called porphyrin. When porphyrin absorbs blue light, it generates reactive oxygen that can destroy the bacteria. There is no need for antibiotics. Clinical studies have shown that blue light is capable of reducing acne lesions by 50% within the span of 4 to 6 weeks. With our PDT-LED Light Therapy Machine, precision is further enhanced as the high-energy blue light used is focused on the bacteria, allowing for daily use of the treatment even on sensitive skin.
Red light: The "healing sidekick" for acne
As blue light is effective in bacterial eradication, red light focuses on the skin's recovery. Red light at the wavelength of 635nm penetrates deeper and further decreases inflammation while increasing collagen production. This will result in a reduction of red, swollen pimples and more rapid recovery from post-acne redness and tiny scars. Red light can also be called blue light's partner: while blue prevents the breakout, red is responsible for recovery. Our device can combine both colors in a single treatment, allowing you to attack and repair in just a few minutes.
Yellow and infrared: The bonus for balanced skin
The blue and red lights are still the stars of the show when it comes to acne, but our PDT-LED also includes yellow and infrared light to promote the overall health of the skin. Yellow light (590nm) is effective in soothing sensitive skin's irritation and is useful in post-acne care for redness. It also aids in far infrared light (850nm) which gently heats deeper skin layers to improve blood circulation and helps eliminate toxins for long-term clear skin and unclogged pores. It's like a skin workout—focused on acne treatment while developing the skin's ability to withstand future acne.
Why does the FDA certification matter for your LED Device
Not all led light therapy machine are created equal. Skimping on energy or untested primary wavelengths may lead to lesser or irritable results. Unlike other light therapy devices for home use which do not meet FDA standards, our fda led light therapy device is calibrated for all blue, red, yellow, and infrared wavelengths to work safely without accumulation of harmful energy that leads to burns, dryness, or pigmentation. As an example, our blue light is set at 415nm (the sweet spot for P. acnes) and reliably provides energy so there are no out-of-phrase sessions.
Best practices while using LED light therapy
The programs are easy to use; for our PDT-LED, simply clean the face, switch on, and maintain a distance of 1-2 inches to the skin. Start with blue light for 10 mins (active acne) and 5 mins red for healing. Repeat 3x/week and in 2-3 weeks most users are satisfied with their skin. No downtime compared to traditional treatments, and no messy creams to apply - simply plug in, relax, and allow the light to do the heavy lifting. This is great for those with packed schedules or those tired of so-called "miracle" products that do not deliver results.
