How Blue LED Light Therapy Can Transform Your Skin

IN THIS ARTICLE:

Most LED light therapy devices offer a variety of colors for different skin conditions. The most popular and most used are the anti-aging red and acne-fighting blue light colors for their proven effects. Of all the LED light colors used for skin treatment, blue light works best on acne-prone and oily skin. If you’re looking into light therapy for a persistent acne problem, learn more about blue light, how it works, and its benefits on the skin.

What is LED light therapy?

DEFINITION

LED light therapy is the use of UV-free, non-heating LED bulbs to treat a variety of skin conditions. The light energy that penetrates the skin activates photoreceptors which then triggers natural cellular processes such as collagen production, healing, and regeneration.

How Does Blue LED Light Therapy Work?

LED light therapy in general is a technology that has been around since the 1980s. It was first used by NASA to aid in plant growth while aboard the space shuttle. In medical use, the red light was first developed to help alleviate the painful aftereffects of chemotherapy.

Blue light energy (or sometimes natural violet) helps eliminate acne at the source. It reaches deep down into the pores to penetrate hair follicles and shut down the metabolism of acne-causing bacteria called Propionibacterium acnes or P. acnes. This action helps calm the sebaceous glands, preventing them from producing too much oil.

Benefits Of Blue LED Light Therapy

Blue light therapy is a great treatment addition to your anti-acne skincare routine. With the help of blue light, your anti-acne treatments can be more effective in a shorter amount of time as it also facilitates skin healing.

Clears acne and blemishes - It penetrates the pores to destroy acne-causing bacteria, diminishing existing acne and preventing new ones from forming.
Fights eczema - A study published in 2019 by the Journal of Medical Internet Research confirms that blue light helps improve inflammatory skin diseases such as eczema and rosacea.
Minimizes pore size - Blue light clears clogged pores of excess oil and impurities, which helps them return to their normal size.
Regulates oil production - Blue light reduces the activity of oil-producing glands called sebaceous glands.
Calms and soothes inflamed skin - To further heal skin, blue light also gives off a calming and soothing effect on irritated and sensitive skin.

Blue LED Light Therapy Devices To Try

Having your own blue LED light therapy device at home allows you to easily incorporate this treatment into your skincare routine. To help you decide, Project E Beauty offers different types of LED masks and handheld devices. Here are a few:

Blue LED+ Acne Light Therapy

Photon Skin Rejuvenation Face & Neck Mask

Utilizes UV-free, non-thermal light energy to penetrate skin layers and deliver beneficial effects

This handheld device comes with 2 of the best visible light colors available: red and blue.

Acne-fighting blue light, ideal for oily and sensitive skin, helps regulate sebum secretion and soothes irritated and inflamed skin.

Anti-aging red light penetrates the dermis where the production of proteins (particularly collagen) happens. Collagen and elastin proteins keep the skin smooth, wrinkle-free, supple, and elastic with a fresh and radiant glow.

The portable handheld Blue LED Light Therapy Machine uses safe and effective light waves to penetrate deep into the skin layers.

How Often Should You Undergo Blue LED Light Therapy?

New to LED light therapy? For starters, treatments using a LED light therapy mask or handheld device can be done up to four times a week starting with 10-minute sessions. Once favorable results start appearing, reduce treatments to twice a week - you may do longer sessions for up to 15 minutes each. LED bulbs provide pure light energy and are very powerful so there is no need to amp up usage to achieve better results.

How Effective Is Blue LED Light Therapy?

Blue LED light therapy is a simple, safe, and effective acne treatment but it’s no overnight cure. Just like any other treatment, it pays to use it in a consistent manner including maintenance sessions.

No worries, LED light treatments are pretty much quick-acting. Some users notice an improvement after the first week with some acne-prone areas quickly drying up and a significant reduction in oiliness. Most of the LED light therapy masks and machines being sold today utilize professional quality LED bulbs and are FDA-cleared so you can be sure of their effectiveness.
