Light Therapy
Red and blue light therapy are forms of phototherapy using specific wavelengths of LED light to target different skin concerns: red light for anti-aging and inflammation, while blue light is often used for acne and acne-causing bacteria.
Red Light Therapy:
Benefits:
- Wavelength: Longer wavelengths, typically between 630 and 700 nanometers.
- Uses: Addressing signs of aging, reducing redness, and improving skin texture.
Blue Light Therapy:
- Benefits:
- Wavelength: Shorter wavelengths, around 415nm.
- Uses: Primarily for treating acne and preventing breakouts.
Combined Red and Blue Light Therapy:
- Many devices and treatments combine both red and blue light therapy to address a wider range of skin concerns, including acne, inflammation, and signs of aging.
- This approach can be particularly effective for treating acne while also addressing potential side effects like inflammation and redness.
