Blue light acne treatment

Blue light acne treatment is a non-invasive procedure that uses light in the blue wavelength range of 405-420 nm to kill the Propionobacterium acnes or P. acnes bacteria in skin. This photodynamic therapy is FDA-approved for the treatment of moderate acne vulgaris or acne vulgaris that has not responded to other acne therapies.

How does it work?

The bacteria in acne release porphyrins. These are naturally occurring substances in the body, arising from the breakdown of haemoglobin in red blood cells. When porphyrins absorb light of certain wavelengths, free radical damage is produced, and this destroys the bacteria.

Blue light acne treatment uses a narrow-band, highintensity blue light source that is readily absorbed by porphyrins released by the bacteria causing acne.
