The significance of the FDA approving LED Blue, Red, and BLUE/RED light for the treatment of mild to moderate acne is a significant event due to the controversy that has surrounded certain prescribed acne oral medications. Also, the worldwide concern over the increasing bacterial resistance to antibacterial medication has made Phototherapy a welcome addition to the tools available for acne treatment. Phototherapy is a safe, proven, non-drug therapy that can be used in the doctor’s office or at home with the newly available devices.

Michael Hamblin, PhD, an associate professor of dermatology at Harvard Medical School an international leader in modern light therapy states:-

 “Instead of trekking to the doctor’s office to have light shined on them, consumers can now shine a light on themselves at home. The light is basically the same, there are few safety issues, and it is a fraction of the cost... And thanks to the recent availability of low-cost, heat-free (and thus safer) light-emitting diodes (LEDs), there are more do-it-yourself gadgets for treating acne, depression, and pain online.”
