 Acne and the Healing Power of Light
Acne is NOT caused by bad diet or greasy foods. In fact, acne develops when the sebaceous glands in a person's skin produces excess oil (sebum). This oil combines with cells that line the gland walls and clogs the skin's pores. Normal Skin bacteria colonize these pores and the body's response causes the inflammation or reddening of the skin that we associate with acne.
Researchers have discovered that something as simple as light holds the key to clearing up problem skin.
When the skin is flooded with alternating blue and red light, the bacteria self destructs and inflammation is decreased. Acne fades and the skin heals.
