Acne Treatment
Inflammatory Acne results from an over production of sebum and an increase of
the P. Acne bacteria which feeds on it. By adapting a combination red and blue
treatment, you can effectively manage the causes of Acne without resorting to
harsh medication. As in other cases, you may safely use the Light Therapy for
Acne in combination with medication. The client does not have to stop other
treatment modalities to do the Light Therapy.
Red/Infrared Light Therapy helps normalize the skin and appears to reduce the
over production of sebum which is the major cause of Acne. You may perform
the treatment using the high pulse mode or continuous wave mode anywhere
from daily to weekly. Typically, one would expect to obtain positive results with
days following the first treatment. Improvement will be seen continuously while
the treatment progresses.
When combining the treatment, the Quasar Blue is use prior to the red. Apply the
blue for five minutes to areas of inflammation. Apply the red/infrared in the same
manner as a normal facial. (NOTE: if you are treating Acne and have to choose
between using the red or the blue but not both, then choose the red. The sebum
reduction and anti-inflammatory properties of red/infrared are much more
effective than the blue light alone.)
