Scientifi c studies have confi rmed the effectiveness of 414-430 nanometer
(nm) blue light, and 630-660nm red light in eliminating acne forming bacteria
and promoting healing and the production of collagen in the dermal layer
of the skin.

A study published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology in 2006 outlined
red light LED’s ability to energize the cells, producing increased levels of
collagen and elastin. This increased cellular activity provides for fi rmer,
smoother and more naturally toned skin, reducing the appearance of fi ne
lines and wrinkles without producing adverse side-effects.

A 2006 Mount Sinai scientifi c study stated that “combinations of blue and
red light therapy have excellent potential in the treatment of mild to moderate
acne. Additionally, the treatment appears to be both pain and side-effect free.”

These studies expanded the fi ndings of the Imperial College of Science,
Technology and Medicine’s published study in 2000 in the British Journal
of Medicine outlining an 80% success rate with light therapy treatment of
acne. The study showed that blue light in the range of 415nm was effective
at eliminating the p-acne bacteria that is the most common cause of acne
outbreaks. Red light, in the 660nm range, was found to promote healing
of lesions, activating macrophages at the dermal layer and promoting
cellular regeneration.
