What is LED light therapy treatment for juvenile and adult acne?

How does LED light therapy work in the treatment of juvenile acne and adult acne?

In the treatment with LED light therapy for juvenile and adult acne, a lamp with multiple LED lights (of various wavelengths and several colors depending on the case) is applied on the skin. The light strikes on the skin and uses the natural biological effects of light to repair and stimulate the cells. Thus, some bacteria are inactivated and inflammation of the skin decreases.

We apply blue LEDS in the treatment of juvenile and adult acne since LED light therapy:

• Minimizes acne inflammation
• Emits a single molecule of oxygen to slow the growth of bacteria that contribute to acne

We apply yellow LEDS in the treatment of juvenile and adult acne because LED light therapy:

• Has anti-inflammatory effect
• Increases blood circulation and oxygenates the skin
• Promotes alignment and increases the tone of collagen fibers

We apply red LEDS in the treatment of juvenile and adult acne because LED light therapy:

• Stimulates the formation of collagen
• Increases ATP (fuel for our cells)
• Stimulates cell renewal
• Minimize minor scars
• Reduces hyperpigmentation
• Minimizes pore size
• Reduces inflammation
• Smoothes skin surface
• Increases circulation and moistures retention

In summary, treatment with LED light therapy should always be included as a single therapy or in combination with laser or peel or oral treatment for juvenile and adult acne.

LED light therapy increases DNA replication, facilitates neurotransmission (serotonin and acetylcholine), stimulates mitochondrial activity, produces and releases beta-endorphins, increases angiogenesis, increases cellular permeability, normalizes the electrical potential of cell membranes, stimulates cell activity fibroblasts and collagen production and reduces collagenases (MMP-1 and MMP-2).
