Blue Light Treatment A new targeted blue light phototherapy for the treatment of acne

Blue Light Treatment

The blue light acts as an anti-inflammatory and calms hypersensitive, blemish-prone skin. Redness is minimized while acne-causing bacteria is diminished. You’ll notice existing blemishes seem to immediately shrink while the skin stays breakout free for longer.

Origin of Led Therapy

In the process to find a solution for growing plants and feeding astronauts in space, NASA enlisted the expertise of plant biologists, who looked to LED lights as a solution. Once LEDs proved to be successful in plant growth, NASA investigated the use of LED therapy in tissue healing and found positive results, also.  This research fueled the development of innovative and powerful LEDs that are now used in a variety of aesthetic applications.

How it Works?

The principle of red light therapy can be thought of as like a human version of the way plants photosynthesize. It is thought that certain wavelengths of light can enhance the functioning of mitochondria, which are the organelles in a cell which take in nutrients and break them down to create energy molecules for the cell. By enhancing the cellular respiration, it will improve the functioning of the whole cell.
