Blue and Red LED Light for Acne
With all of the laser and light treatments available for acne, choosing the most appropriate treatment can be daunting. The Isolaz acne laser, Photodynamic Therapy, and Blue and Red LED light therapy are all effective treatments. Dr. Schweiger explains that, “Laser and light-based acne treatments are most effective when combined into a regimen of a few different treatments. We often recommend a series combining Isolaz acne treatment, Photodynamic Therapy and Blue and Red LED light therapy in order to address active acne and prevent future acne in the most complete way. Acne is multi-factorial, so it is important to address all of its causes.”
Sometimes the acne specialists at the Clear Clinic may recommend a single treatment for your specific skin type. Blue and Red LED light is often used in this manner. Blue LED light is anti-bacterial, while Red LED light is anti-inflammatory and helps to reduce redness left behind after old acne lesions. The combination of Blue and red LED light treatment is sometimes used to calm active acne and help to heal inflammation on the skin, especially when patients cannot tolerate any downtime. Blue and Red LED light does not cause any downtime; it is the ideal treatment in the days leading up to a big event.
