Light Therapy
Phototherapy or Light Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses
light of different wavelengths to improve skin health and appearance. It is a
safe and effective treatment for a variety of skin conditions, including acne,
psoriasis, eczema, rosacea, and signs of aging.
Red, blue, and yellow light are the most commonly used colors in phototherapy
for skin conditions.
Red light therapy: penetrates deep into the skin to stimulate collagen
production, reduce inflammation, and improve circulation. This can help to
reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, improve skin texture, and fade
scars.
Blue light therapy: targets the surface of the skin to kill acne-causing
bacteria and reduce oil production. This can help to clear up acne breakouts and
prevent new ones from forming.
Yellow light therapy: helps to reduce redness and inflammation, and
improve lymphatic drainage. This can be helpful for treating conditions such as
rosacea, eczema, and psoriasis.
Phototherapy with red, blue, and yellow light can be used on all skin types
and is generally well-tolerated. It is a popular treatment for both men and
women of all ages.
