What is LIGHTWAVE Blue LED?

Lightwave FDA cleared Blue Light Therapy is a natural, pain-free, treatment option which uses a powerful dosage of blue light to effectively destroy P. Acne bacteria and prevent future Acne breakouts from occurring. The blue light has a wavelength of 420nm which is primarily absorbed by the epidermis attacking the bacteria.

Is it effective?

Improvement in skin quality and a decrease in the number of lesions are often noticeable within the first few treatments. Optimal results usually occur within 8 weeks of starting the treatment.

How does it work?

Acne begins to develop when dead skin cells and excess oil or sebum come together to form a plug that clogs the skin’s pores and hair follicles.

Once the pores become clogged, acne-causing bacteria grow, infection and inflammation begin, and acne forms on the skin’s surface. If left untreated, the lesion can eventually rupture and cause scarring.

What can I expect?

A LIGHTWAVE treatment is often very relaxing and enjoyable. First, the skin is cleansed with an antibacterial wash and protective eyewear is fit into place.

Next, a panel of LIGHTWAVE blue LEDs are placed next to the affected area. The lights are illuminated and the lesions are exposed to acne-destroying blue light.

Finally, the skin is treated with a specific dose of soothing red light. This red light energy helps heal the skin and reduce inflammation.
