How The BeautySkin Works
Blue Light (415nm)
It has long been known that sunlight (UV) can improve acne. However, because of photo ageing and medical side effects, 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 randomised 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 utilised 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.
