Acne is a skin condition that often begins at puberty and continues through the teen years, but normally levels off in the early twenties. In some adults, there can be flare ups of acne throughout life. Severe acne may cause scaring of the face and other affected areas. There are many treatments for acne, but one of the newest is the use of the acne light.
Acne lights do not involve the use of messy creams or ointments. They can be used while students do homework or watch television.
The light emitted by the acne light is at very specific wave lengths, chose to kill bacteria and promote healing without damaging the skin. The blue light has an antibiotic effect on the bacteria that causes acne, while the red light stimulates the skin to heal without leaving scars.
The user will need to apply the light for around half an hour each day. At this exposure level, you should not experience sunburn or any further damage to the skin. If you notice any irritation to the skin caused by the light, you should stop using it immediately.
Users of the acne light should not expect immediate results. It could take up to eight weeks of daily use before there is a marked improvement.
If you only have one small area that is affected by acne, then you will find a small light to be sufficient for your treatment. If you have several areas affected, you may need to buy a light that will cover several areas at one time.
Acne can cause self-esteem issues for teens. It can affect their self-confidence and many areas of life. If left untreated, acne can cause permanent scaring of the face that may affect a person for his or her entire lifetime. If your child is struggling with acne, then the acne light is worth the investment for clear and healthy skin.
