Is phototherapy an effective treatment for acne? In other words can you treat acne with light?

That’s what Angelo asked me few days back.

Here’s a link to a video Angelo was talking about (sorry but it doesn’t allow me to embed it here).

And here’s video of another acne treatment product that uses light.

 

As far as acne treatments go light therapy seems like a promising option. It seems that specific wave length of light kill bacteria (blue light area) while other wave length (red light area) reduces inflammation and hence makes pimples and red marks disappear faster.

Of course this is nothing more than an old trick dressed in new clothes. Simply another form of slaying bacteria.

As you know, killing bacteria is not the long term answer for acne. To permanently cure acne you have to fix the lifestyle issues that created acne in the first place.

But light therapy could be an interesting option to support you during the time it takes for your body to heal itself. Light therapy for acne is an interesting for two reasons. First, besides the initial investment, it’s free to use (as far as I understand). Second, you don’t have to poison your skin or your body with chemicals. Light waves kill the bacteria without introducing anything foreign to your body.

So if you are on the market for a support treatment, phototherapy might be a good option for you.
