What Is Red Light Therapy und Blaulichttherapie?
Red light therapy (RLT) is a treatment that uses low levels of red light to reportedly improve your skin’s appearance, like reducing wrinkles, scars, redness, and acne. It’s also touted to treat other medical conditions.
Blue LED light therapy, often called photodynamic therapy, involves using specific wavelengths of blue light to target and treat various skin conditions and health concerns. It is based on the principle that certain wavelengths of light can penetrate the skin’s surface and interact with cells and tissues, stimulating a range of therapeutic effects.
What does blue light therapy do?
It’s most effective against mild to moderate acne. Some professional-grade blue LED devices are also effective for a larger range of concerns including fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, redness, psoriasis, and muscle or joint pain. That’s because they combine blue light with red light, which has been proven to improve the benefits of blue LED light therapy when used together.
Combined red and blue light therapy has gained popularity for its ability to promote collagen production, reduce redness, and improve fine lines whilst treating mild acne and blemishes. Red and blue light treatment devices have become a popular choice for those looking for a versatile solution for maintaining healthy skin at home.
Benefits of blue light therapy for your skin
- Reduces inflammation: This therapy session helps reduce skin inflammation due to its anti-inflammatory properties. For this reason, it becomes a suitable solution for inflammatory skin conditions such as acne and rosacea.
- Improves skin tone: By increasing circulation and promoting cellular turnover, you’ll notice an improvement in your skin tone and texture within a short period of using this therapy procedure. It’s also responsible for making our skin brighter and smoother.
- Healing of scars: you can use red light therapy to speed up healing, especially for skin injuries. It’s an effective way to remove scars or wounds from your skin to make you appear more presentable.
- Acne Treatment： One of the most well-known purposes of blue LED light therapy is its effectiveness in treating acne. Blue light targets the bacteria responsible for causing acne (P.acnes bacteria). Interestingly, acne-causing bacteria emit a photosensitizer which makes them exceptionally sensitive to light and vulnerable to damage by specific wavelengths. When exposed to blue light, these bacteria produce less of the inflammatory chemicals that exacerbate acne, ultimately reducing breakouts and inflammation. Blue light treatments work best on acne when combined with red and near-infrared (NIR) therapy.
- Collagen Production: Blue LED light therapy stimulates fibroblasts, the cells responsible for collagen production in the skin. Collagen, often called the skin’s structural foundation, is a protein that plays a pivotal role in maintaining skin’s elasticity, firmness, and youthful appearance. As we age, however, the natural production of collagen in our bodies gradually diminishes. By stimulating collagen production, blue light therapy can help reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and even scars.
