Light therapy and more specifically, acne blue light treatments, have
proven to be very successful in treating mild to moderate inflammatory
acne.
Light therapy is not a new idea. The effects of color on the human body
in relation to health and happiness have long been researched.
Documentation regarding the healing properties of color date as far
back as 1876 when Augustus Pleasanton published his theory "Blue and
Sun-lights". He believed that colored light was effective in treating
pain and disease. He was right.
In 1878, Edwin Babbit corroborated Pleasanton's theory when he
published "The Principles of Light and Color". Babbit took the theory
of color to new levels. He identified the color red as a stimulant of
blood and nerves prescribing it's use for the treatment of such
conditions as rheumatism, exhaustion and paralysis. Blues and violets,
Babbit believed to have soothing, anti-inflammatory properties which he
prescribed for treating meningitis, headaches and sunstroke.
Today, new clinical studies have shown remarkable results in acne
patients who participated in blue and red light treatments. Why?
Without getting too clinical, the blue light destroys P.acnes, the
bacteria responsible for acne inflammation. The red light causes the
skin to heal up to 200 percent faster.
This is terrific news for acne sufferers in search of an effective home
treatment for acne. In spite of the wide range of topical and oral acne
treatments available today, many people either do not respond to them
or they develop side-effects. Acne light therapy or chromotherapy is
the answer to the growing demand for a safe, natural, holistic approach
to acne treatment.
Acne light therapy is a safe, completely natural method of treatment
that you can do on your own, in the privacy of your own home. Simply
set up blue and red lamps and 'bathe' in the light just as you would in
a tanning booth. You can use both colored lamps at the same time and it
only requires 15 minutes each day.
With the acne blue light treatments the bacteria causing your
inflammation will self-destruct and the red light will cause lesions to
heal as much as 200 percent faster than normal. The principle is very
similar to the idea that sunlight improves acne, and it does, but
harmful UV rays also cause premature aging and skin cancer. Light
therapy is UV free and completely safe.
Consider the benefits:
- Completely natural and affordable
- No drugs and no side-effects
- Safe and painless for all ages
- Requires only 15 minutes each day
- You can treat your whole body by yourself
People who suffer from back acne may benefit immensely from light
therapy. The back cannot be easily reached to apply topical treatments
and some people are too embarrassed to ask for help. Light therapy
eliminates this dilemma.
Chromotherapy is a fast growing natural health alternative based on the
importance and use of color for human health and happiness. As an
effective acne treatment, it is safe, it is natural and - it works!
