De keuze tussen Blauwlichttherapie (BLT) en roodlichttherapie (RLT) hangt af van uw specifieke doelen, omdat ze verschillende problemen aanpakken. Hier is een onderlinge vergelijking om u te helpen beslissen:
Blauwlichttherapie (415-450nm) Beste voor:
√ Acnebehandeling – Doodt P. acnes-bacteriën (FDA goedgekeurd voor milde tot matige acne).
√ Controle van de vette huid – Temporarily reduces sebum production.
√ Psoriasis/Eczema Support – Calms inflammation when combined with red light.
Beperkingen:
× No anti-aging benefits (does not stimulate collagen).
× May dry out skin (not ideal for sensitive or dry skin types).
× Only superficial (penetrates 1-2mm).
Beste voor: Teens/adults with acne, oily skin or scalp conditions.
Roodlichttherapie (630-660nm, 850nm NIR) Beste voor:
√ Anti-Aging – Increases collagen & elastine (vermindert rimpels, verbetert de stevigheid van de huid).
√ Wound Healing – Speeds recovery from scars, burns or post-surgery treatments.
√ Pain & Ontsteking – relieves joint and muscle pain (artritis, peesontsteking).
√Hair Growth – FDA approved for androgenetic alopecia (bijv. iRestore).
Beperkingen:
× Doesn’t kill acne bacteria (use blue light for active breakouts).
× Slower results (requires consistency: 8-12 weeks for collagen benefits).
Beste voor: Aging skin, chronische pijn, hair loss or general recovery.
Acne √√ ○ (roodheid) Blue wins Wrinkles ×√√ Red wins Pain relief × √√ Red wins Hair growth × √√ Red wins Oily skin √ × Blue wins When to use both together for acne + ageing skin:
Blauw licht (10 min) → kills bacteria.
Rood licht (10 min after) → reduces redness + increases collagen.
Healing after the procedure:
For maximum benefit: Choose based on your primary concern or invest in a dual wavelength device.
Blue prevents infection → Red speeds up recovery (bijv. after microneedling): Omnilux Clear, CurrentBody LED Mask (combo wavelengths).Science-Backed VerdictBlue light is better for acne and oily skin.Red light is better for anti-aging, pain relief and healing.Combined = best for acne scars + prevention (studies show 77% improvement vs. 50% met alleen blauw).
