Acne Light
Millions of people have suffered from acne during their teenage days. Some of them, particularly women have suffered a prolonged acne problem beyond teenage. So much has been discussed and invented to wipe off this menace from the face. In fact very few experiments have been successful.
The newest on the block is acne light therapy. The acne light therapy is based on a device. The device in the acne light therapy attacks the bacteria in the clogged holes of the skin. The bacteria live below the skin surface. Porphyrin, a metabolic by-product of the bacteria is sensitive to light. The acne light device works on those porphyrins. A very sensitive blue light is released from the acne light device. When the porphyrins come in contact with the blue light they produce oxygen within the acne. This oxygen kills the bacteria. This is the basic technique of acne light therapy.
Acne light therapy is effective up to four months. Acne light therapy reduces acne up to sixty percent. The whole process of acne light therapy takes fifteen minutes. There have been no side effects reported. The success of the acne light therapy depends on the type of acne. Along with the therapy you need to take proper care of your skin.
