Dr. Kern Beauty Skin Light Therapy The BeautySkin lamp has six 15 watt fluorescent lamps three blue and three red lamps. BeautySkin is based on the positive effect that light of certain wavelengths has on human skin. Blue light penetrates the skin to the bacteria (proprionibacterium acne) which causes pimples and blackheads. The blue light has an antibacterial effect and prevents the further development of pimples and blackheads. The red light soothes skin inflammations and relaxes and stimulates the skin in a positive way. The combination and the simultaneous application of both color types of light create the special effect of BeautySkin and the BeautySkin works without UV radiation. Those of us with mild to moderate acne can benefit from the BeautySkin Lamp. The unit provides for the cosmetic treatment of mild to moderate acne. BLUE LIGHT (415nm) It has long been known that sunlight (UV) can improve acne, although some of the effect is due to superficial camouflage. However, because of photo ageing and medical side effects, Generally UV radiation is not recommended as a safe treatment for acne. More recently, a peak wavelength of 415nm, which is outside the UV range, has been found to be effective at treating acne (1). It is known that Propionibacterium acnes (P. acne) produce porphyrins during their normal life cycle (2). Porphyrins absorb light energy at the near UV and visible blue light spectrum. The irradiation of P. acnes with blue visible light (415nm) leads to photoexcitation of bacterial porphyrins, singlet oxygen production and eventually bacterial destruction (3). RED LIGHT (660nm) It has been found that exposure to 660nm low-level wavelengths release cytokines. Cytokines stimulate fibroblast proliferation and the production of growth factors, thus influencing the inflammatory process, healing and ultimately wound repair (4, 5, 6, 7,) and has been found to significantly improve postoperative open wounds. red/blue light treatment In the first study of its kind, conducted at Hammersmith Hospital, Dr Chu et al evaluated the use of a mixed blue and red light (peaks at 415nm and 660nm) in the treatment of acne vulgaris. 107 subjects were randomized into four treatment groups. 1. Blue light. 2. Cool white light (placebo) 3. 5% benzoyl peroxide 4. Mixed blue and red light. Treatment consisted of 15-minute irradiation in front of a portable light unit each day. (With the exact, special spec, tubes utilized by BeautySkin). The red/blue mix had significantly better results than the other treatment groups. Improvements were clearly noticeable after only 4 weeks. After 12 weeks, the blue/red treatment achieved a mean improvement of 76% in inflammatory lesions and a mean improvement in comedones of 58%, which exceeded any of the other treatments. a..
