Both LED Red light and Blue Light effective in treatment of mild-to-moderate acne: Study
LED RL and BL both appear effective in the treatment of mild-to-moderate acne, according to a recent study published in Photodermatology, Photoimmunology & Photomedicine.
Red and blue light therapies are safe and effective treatments for mild-to-moderate acne vulgaris. However, very few previous studies have directly compared the characteristics of these two methods.
A group of researchers conducted a study to compare the efficacy and side effects of red light (RL) and blue light (BL) for acne vulgaris and to assess these two therapies in different types of lesions.
A total of 28 subjects with mild-to-moderate acne vulgaris were randomized into the red light (RL) group or the blue light (BL) group. Subjects in each group received different light treatments, and they were followed up regularly until 2 weeks after the last treatment. The improvement rates of different types of acne lesions were compared between the 2 groups, as well as the incidence of adverse reactions.
