Light Therapy for Acne Solutions and Skin Care

Filed under Skin Rejuvenation
Millions of people have the skin problem acne, or acne vulgaris (as the medical community refers to it). Many believe that it is only for ‘younger/teenagers’, but many adults also have acne problems. Acne can lead some people to be ‘socially insecure’, and tends to lead others to being shy. Acne develops as a result of blockages in follicles and even being stressed or sweating a lot. Over the past decade or so, light therapy has been a way to possibly treat acne, especially using blue ‘l.e.d.’s’.
The Well Beam is a perfect compliment to home use in it’s ability to tackle issues ranging from pain and stress to skin care issues and sleep problems. It uses ‘blue’ l.e.d.’s, along with red, that have been shown to help in reducing acne. I think that it’s great because everyone in the family has different issues that they need to take care of, including the pets and this does it for all!
We live in troubled times in which we are losing the battle with health care costs, lack of insurance, losing our jobs, etc. and have to start taking the time and responsibility for our own health. We have to start thinking outside of the box in terms of what we can do for our own health.
Light Therapy has been used for acne, with the visible violet light which is present in the sunlight activates a porphyrin that damages and kills the bacteria which cause acne. Many people suffer from some form of acne, and Light Therapy is an alternative that has shown many positive results without the side-effects associated with other modalities. The Well Beam offers the combination of ‘red and blue’ light therapy wave lengths (along with infar-red) that provides a great one-two punch for you body to not only help with the problems associated on the ‘top’ of the skin, but also getting deep into the tissue, ligaments, bone, etc. of your body. Using the machine in combination with the sound therapy provides an experience to also help with sleep issues, stress reduction, and the relaxation effect without having to take any pills or any other outside means. Finally, what is great, is that it is used in the comfort of your own home, on your time.
It is important to protect the eyes from the light as this may be harmful to the chemicals in the retina.
More about Light Therapy for Acne:
A major factor in causing or aggravating acne is the use of harsh cleansers. People who are looking to avoid acne often mistakenly believe that treating their skin with these cleansers will eliminate the underlying causes of their acne, while instead they may be over drying their skin, causing irritation and ultimately leading to more acne breakouts, in some cases even more accelerated and worse! Skin cleansers should be mild, and need to be used gently. Also important is not to use them too often. Another thing with some of the ‘cleansers’ is that they put many more ‘toxins’ back into our bodies, which could lead to more problems down the road.
This treatment has proved to be more effective than Benzoyl Peroxide which is often used to cure acne. Also, there are very little (if none at all) side effects using the L.T. Light Therapy for Acne truly works!
Blue light therapy acne treatment has recently been approved by the FDA to treat mild to moderate acne. The development of acne blue light therapy has had significant benefits for those who have not responded well to other of methods of treating common acne.
Light exposure has long been used as a short term treatment for acne. Recently, visible light has been successfully employed to treat mild to moderate acne (phototherapy and/or deep penetrating light therapy) – in particular intense violet light (405-420 nm) generated by LED’s (Light Emitting Dio’s) or lasers. If used a couple of times per week, it has been shown to reduce the number of acne lesions by about 64% and is even more effective when applied daily. The mechanism appears to be that a porphyrin (Coproporphyrin III) produced within P. acnes generates free radicals when irradiated by 420 nm and shorter wavelengths of light. Particularly when applied over several days, these free radicals ultimately kill the bacteria. Since porphyrins are not otherwise present in skin, and no UV light is employed, it appears to be safe, and has been licensed by the U. S. FDA.

FAQs
Can I Be Allergic To Oxygen/Ozone?
It is impossible to be allergic to oxygen/ozone. Ozone is an energized form of oxygen. Ozone is naturally formed by the sun and lightning in storms. Without the ozone layer high in the atmosphere, life could not exist on our planet. Ozone actually filters out the sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays and, in addition, makes for that beautiful blue color in the sky.
Is There Any Science To Support Oxygen/Ozone Therapy?
The scientific literature is vast in support of the effectiveness and safety of oxygen/ozone therapy. Recently, the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT) reviewed and accepted Oxygen/Ozone in Dentistry as scientifically valid.
How Does Oxygen/Ozone Therapy Work?
Oxygen/Ozone, when introduced into the living system, creates what is called a “transient oxidative burst.” Pathogenic “biofilms” and microorganisms have no natural defense against this reaction and, as a result, are overstressed and die. Surrounding healthy tissue is unaffected and there are no toxic side effects. This “oxidative burst” also induces a multitude of natural biochemical and physiologic reactions, including better blood flow, enhanced immune response, and a more rapid healing response.

Light Therapy for Skin and Acne

Filed under Skin Rejuvenation
Help yourself look Better, look Younger, Naturally, with www.Lightsoundtechnology.com, where we combine light therapy and sound therapy to help the body and mind with our skin issues, pain relief, stress relief,anti-aging,a a host of other modalities. Our Well Beam and our Skin Rejuvenation Kit are great compliments.
It’s a fact, light therapy for skin is an effective skin care treatment. Professionals such as dermatologists and spas are using the technology as an anti-aging or acne solution. There have been studies that have shown that up to 90% of people see improvements of their skin condition, it became inevitable that home use devices would be created from the professional technology and equipment you can find at dermatologists or skin care centers.
So what light therapy can do for your skin ?
As we said earlier, light therapy (for skin) is mainly used to treat aging and acne. It is very common to see that red light therapy is associated with anti-aging and blue light therapy to fight acne.
Red Light Rejuvenates Your Skin
In the anti-aging process, what is important is the collagen production, and red light therapy stimulates the collagen production. Collagen is responsible for the elasticity and firmness of your skin, resulting in the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles. The collagen is also the protein that repair damaged skin cells. You look younger and have a healthier skin.
Blue Light Kills Acne
The blue light therapy kills the Propionibacterium acnes bacteria. This bacteria is one of the cause of acne, and is sensitive to light in a certain range (405 to 420 nm). The bacteria absorbs the light and the light kills the bacteria. Acne vanishes as a result. Because red light is more the “healing light”, it is also used for acne : it reduces the inflammation caused by acne, reduces scarring and sebum and oil production. You look better, your skin is clear.
Born From NASA Research
The LED light therapy technology has been researched by NASA, not just for skin problems, but also to fight cancer, for pain relief purpose and even to grow plants. Light therapy is also used for affective disorders, sleep disorders, to boost energy, but this is not the same kind of light. We would just want to warn you : because this technology has been researched by NASA doesn’t mean your device is equipped with the exact same technology.
So yes, light therapy devices are actually “based on a technology researched by NASA” but when you see products advertised with some “NASA” words, this is just a bit of marketing only. Of course, this is still LED light therapy, and light therapy devices you will find on this website have all proven to be effective.
Where is Light Therapy Used
Light therapy has found many uses in different areas. For example, it is used to treat a variety of skin diseases and it is used to treat mood and sleep related disorders as well. Let us have a look at the various places where light therapy is being used.
Acne:
It has been known since a long time that sunlight helps cure the bacteria which cause acne. The visible violet light which is present in the sunlight activates a porphyrin that damages and kills the bacteria which cause acne. And this process does not cause any tanning or sunburn. However, during the course of this treatment, it is important to protect the eyes from the light as this may be harmful to the chemicals in the retina. This treatment has proved to be more effective than Benzoyl Peroxide which is often used to possibly cure acne.
Psoriasis:
One of the common problems of people suffering with psoriasis is skin inflammation. Narrow band ultra violet B rays are given as a light therapy on the skin surface which is inflamed. The ultra violet rays help suppress the inflammation on the skin.
Psoriasis
Wound Healing:
It has been found that infrared light releases nitrous oxide in the blood stream which increases the circulation of blood in the area where the light is directed. This is very helpful for people, who due to various diseases such as Diabetes find it very difficult to heal wounds on the surface of the skin. This is also helpful for patients suffering with Neuropathy, Ulcers and for patients whose blood circulation is improper.
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD):
People with seasonal affective disorder go into depression like states during the winter months. This is seen in places where the amount of daylight is very less in these seasons (countries near the North Pole, for instance). The cure for these people is full sunlight. So, light boxes which replicate sunlight conditions are used for these patients. These use artificial illumination to re-create the fully lighted atmospheric conditions that are normally present in sunlight.
Depression:
This is a non-seasonal kind of depression. But light therapy has shown interesting results in the treatment of such patients as well. A similar kind of treatment method is followed for treating these patients as with the people affected with SAD. The results are faster compared to the use of anti-depressants.
Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome (DSPS):
People suffering with Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome (DSPS) have problems sleeping and often end up falling asleep way past midnight and thus have difficulty waking up in the morning. In these cases the light must be provided as soon as the patient wakes up. Light therapy is useful for the people suffering from DSPS because it causes dawn simulation.
Delayed sleep syndrome
Jet Lag:
It has been seen that exposing the person suffering from jet lag to light at appropriate times before, during and after the air travel can actually reduce the effects of jet lag and help the body to adjust easily to the time differences. This process has even been used by NASA to train its astronauts for late night launches.
Jet Lag
Heliotherapy:
This is a very popular term which is used to describe light therapy, and is used in spas and such places. These places use various forms of light therapy to provide tanning beds and booths and even tanning lamps which use both ultraviolet and infrared rays of light for providing treatment to their customers.
Heliotheraphy
When not to use Light Therapy
However advantageous light therapy may be, there are certain times when light therapy is not advisable.
It has been observed that exposure to too much light can cause skin damage as well as destroying the amounts of vitamins A and C in the skin, and it can damage the generation of free radicals in the body. It is for this reason that it is said that light therapy should always be taken in the presence of a licensed practitioner, qualified doctor or dermatologist.
Light therapy used for patients suffering from depression can also cause maniac states (which are the absolute opposite of depressed states) because of the mood alteration effect produced by it. As such, it can also be considered similar to taking mood-altering drugs. Hence, it is always advised to take such therapies under the consultation of a qualified medical practitioner only.
In some cases, where the patient suffers from phototoxicity (light can kill the cells), or has a photosensitive skin or is taking certain medicines which can create such conditions, light therapy is not advised. Also, with patients that have a tendency towards manic behavior, light therapy is not advised.

Cosmetic LED Light Therapy for Skin Rejuvenation

Light Sound Technology actively searches for skin care products that are natural alternatives to Botox™and expensive cosmetic surgery or risky antibiotics that you can use in the privacy of your home. The LED Light therapy products, LST recommends are below, and give you a choice in cost and method. These LED Light Therapy products stimulate cellular regeneration and cellular production.
Cosmetic Lasers and LED Light Therapy have shown to reverse and control the visible signs of aging and help you look years younger. The FDA Approved devices are becoming one of our most popular LED Light Therapy Systems
LED Light therapy has been shown in over 40 years of independent research worldwide to deliver powerful therapeutic benefits to living tissues and organisms. Both visible and infrared light have been shown to effect at least 24 different positive changes at a cellular level. Visible light penetrates tissue to a depth of about 8-10 mm.
Depth of penetration is defined as the depth at which 60% of the light is absorbed by the tissue, while 40% of the light will continue to be absorbed in a manner that is less fully understood. Treating points with light can have a dramatic effect on remote and internal areas of the body through the stimulation of nerves, acupuncture and trigger points that perform function not unlike transmission cables.
Our LFT FRK Kit is a Cosmetic Infrared Light therapy system utilizing the energy of light, called photon energy, to stimulate the activity of certain cell components. By using photo energy, you have a simple, effective, non-pharmacological medical alternative. It is quickly effective, cost effective, and easy to administer.
Light is energy that moves in a wave pattern. Light is also characterized by its wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum. There are components in the tissue and blood that absorb wavelengths and activate normal cell activity. The reason for this increased cell activity is the photon. The photon is the energy portion of the light wave. For this reason we often refer to this therapy as PHOTON THERAPY.
Once delivered, the light energy promotes the process of photobiostimulation. The positive effect of photobiostimulation on animal cells is analogous to photosynthesis in plant cells, whereby a chain of chemical reactions are set in motion. In human tissue the resulting photochemical reaction produces an increase in the cellular metabolism rate which expedites cell repair.
Included with our Rejuvenation Kit is a FREE bottle of Olive Gold 03 (a $54.99 value)
