Why Blue Light Acne Treatment Has Become So Helpful at Getting Rid of Acne
One of the more effective methods to get rid of acne is with blue light therapy. You really need to appreciate why blue light is so effective against acne.
Many adults and approximately 85% of adolescents have suffered acne outbreaks. Pimples and other sores result from pores that become blocked up by a mass of skin oil (sebum) and dead skin cells. Once a pore becomes blocked up the bacteria within in the pore start multiplying and infect adjacent cells. The irritated spots are visibly red and feel sore and become the pimples we link to acne.
There are three common therapies connected with acne prevention. First, cleansing is used to remove excess skin oil over the surface. Bacteria on the skin in then eliminated with a mild anti-bacterial cream or gel. Then a mild exfoliant cream or gel is used to make it easier to loosen dead skin cells so they can be washed away. In this way the potential for clogging the pores is significantly reduced plus the likelihood of acne is minimized.
Whiteheads or blackheads are the initial expressions of a plugged up pore. The location of the obstruction is the main difference between a blackhead and a whitehead. If the clog is near the surface of the skin the clog becomes oxidized and turns dark forming a blackhead. When the clog is further down into the pore, the surface can shut in around the pore keeping it light in color which produces a whitehead.
As the bacteria start multiplying within the plugged up pore the cells surrounding the pore become irritated and turn red, forming a pimple. The area infected can grow and the size and magnitude of the blemish can increase away from the cells belonging to the pore. Pressure on the pimple can drive the infection into the sebaceous gland and even rip open the cell structure allowing the infection to extend to lower layers in the skin.
One key to coping with active acne is to eliminate the bacteria at the site of the pimple. This will ease the irritation and reduce the size and intensity of the blemish. Severe acne is often addressed with systemic medicines like oral anti-biotics. Most less severe acne outbreaks may be dealt with effectively by therapies applied locally.
One such therapy is acne light treatment. Direct exposure to sunlight is known to help acne. But, full spectrum sunlight can harm the skin. So, scientists have found out more about detailed spectral ranges to determine what exactly is effective against acne. One early investigation discovered that light within the blue-violet color range was particularly useful. This color range impacts an organic compound within the acne bacteria. A singlet oxygen is released by a porphyrin component of the bacteria which helps destroy the bacteria.
Since acne bacteria multiply rapidly, three treatments on consecutive days are often required to kill all the bacteria in a blemish. With the bacteria eliminated, the irritation is removed and the curative process can take place to restore the normal skin condition.
The blue light may be delivered by lasers, light-emitting diodes (LEDs), fluorescent lamps, as well as bright full spectrum light. An array of special fluorescent lights is used in the Dusa Blue Light device, often employed by dermatologists, to deliver a 400 nm wavelength blue light. Often your dermatologist will rub on aminolevulinic acid (brand name Levulan) to affected areas prior to the blue light therapy. The aminolevulinic acid is a photo sensitizing agent that exposed to blue light causes damage to certain skin cells.
While treatments from a dermatologist may cost several hundred dollars each, low priced home devices have found there way into the market. You can find numerous devices on the market ranging is price from around $40 to several hundred dollars.
Keep in mind that blue light acne treatment takes a few treatments to destroy the bacteria and several days for the skin to heal. So, this is not an overnight process. But, in comparison with treatments like benzoyl peroxide, lots of people find blue light acne treatment to be less irritating to the skin and more effective at eliminating acne.
