Vidcast:  https://www.instagram.com/p/DMYZfCgvjNU/The use of LED lights significantly improved acne with a nearly 50% reduction of unsightly skin lesions.  Dermatology researchers from Harvard’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital report this result following their meta-analysis of 6 studies covering 216 participants with ages ranging from 12 to 50 years.Compared with controls, those using LED lights for one to three months enjoyed a 45% reduction of inflammatory lesions, a 48% drop in non-inflammatory lesions, and a 46% improvement in general appearance as assessed by professional observers.  Red and blue wavelengths as well as combinations of these two were most effective.  There were no adverse reactions to this light exposure.These devices are widely available online with prices ranging from 150$ for face masks to 250$ for more extensive light arrays.  For safety’s sake, these devices should be used as directed by your dermatologist.  They make an effective medication-free alternative for acne management.https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamadermatology/article-abstract/2830694#acne #LED #lighttherapy #athome #red #blue
