Acne can be a devastating condition for a teen. It can begin with puberty and last through the early twenties. Some adults have problems with acne outbreaks throughout their lifetime. Acute acne can cause scaring of the face, back and chest or any area affected by the condition. There are many treatments that have been offered for acne treatment, but one of the most effective is the use of an acne light.

By using the acne light, teens can avoid the use of creams or ointments that can be messy and further irritate the skin. The light is placed six inches away form the affected area and can be used while doing homework or viewing television.

The light emitted by the acne light is at very specific wave lengths, chose to kill bacteria and promote healing without damaging the skin. The blue light has an antibiotic effect on the bacteria that causes acne, while the red light stimulates the skin to heal without leaving scars.

The red and blue light should be applied daily for fifteen minutes to half an hour. Light  in the wavelengths used in the acne light should not cause skin damage or sunburn;  however, some people have skin that is sensitive to all light.

Users of the acne light should not expect immediate results. It could take up to eight  weeks of daily use before there is a marked improvement.

To prevent having to use the light for extended periods of time, choose larger lights if you have problems with more than one area of acne.

Acne is a condition that may affect a student’s self-esteem. If left untreated, it can cause excessive scaring, and may affect the persons feelings of self for many years. The price paid for an acne light and the time invested in its use are a small price to pay for the self confidence it can bring.
