Blue Light Therapy (BLT) for Acne BLT uses natural violet or blue light, within a specific wavelength range to affect the uppermost layer of your skin which can treat conditions on the skin or just beneath. One of the most significant blue light therapy is its ability to reduce and prevent acne. It does this by:
- Destroying bacteria around the sebaceous glands that generate oils.
- Making Sebaceous glands product less oil.
BLT destroys the DNA in Propionbacterium acnes , the bacterium that causes acne and its accompanying inflammation. By targeting bacteria at its source, the blue light can diminish once and prevent future acne breakouts from happening. Preventing acne leads to less scarring while reducing oil and stabilizing oil glands enhances the skin and keeps it looking healthier overall/ Acne treatment is one of the most rapid-acne results of blue light therapy. After just a few treatments, many can already notice less breakouts.
A series of 4-6 weekly treatments then monthly maintenance treatments are recommended for best results.
