The skin is the
largest organ of our body. We tend to interfere with his scars, pimples, acne
(and not) to pierce the skin, making skin feels not only painful but also ugly
to ignore. Creams and lotions provide a temporary happiness, does not guarantee
they will not return. Light therapy for skin is one of the technologies in
dermatology, the techniques of infrared and ultraviolet light used to cure skin
diseases, as used above. They were found to be effective and in many cases,
have a long-term relief expected.
Acne on the skin
can be a very annoying thing for a woman. Not only, it hurts, but it affects
the aesthetics of a woman. Before understanding how light therapy is effective
for acne, let us know what is acne. Acne (also synonymous with its types, such
as acne vulgaris, acne conglobata, acne miliaris necrotic, etc.) is a training
follicular papules on the skin. These eruptions attributed to various causes
such as hormonal changes during puberty, poor nutrition, obesity, the secretion
of the sebaceous glands of the skin and external injuries. This is a painful
skin condition, not only for women but for men. Many dermatologists recommend
light therapy for such conditions.
In this
treatment, a mixture of red and blue light from the lamps is mounted within a
lamp emitted. The wavelength of blue light around 415 nm and that of the red
light is 660 nm. The lamp is usually with a pair of safety glasses (with
respect to the dangers of ultraviolet light blue eyes and infrared light) is
provided. Using the lamp for 15 minutes a day showed significantly more
effective results in a few weeks.
Blue Light
Therapy to treat skin cancer
Blue light
treatment, which is also known as photodynamic therapy (PDT) is known, is used
in the treatment of skin cancer. This technology uses therapy photo of a
photosensitizing drug (a drug that is activated by exposure to light) emitting
activated oxygen molecules. In essence, this therapy is a treatment in three
stages.
• First, the
photosensitizer (which in cream, liquid medication or intravenous) on the patch
of infected skin.
• There is an
incubation period following (from minutes to days).
• finally,
exposed to the photosensitizer to a specific wavelength of blue light, to raise
awareness that in turn activates medicines photo.
• Now, the
target tissue to the activated photosensitizer exposed to media in the
destruction of infected parts of the skin tissue.
This procedure
is only effective if the tumors are cancerous tissue on the surface of the
skin. Treatments against skin cancer and cosmetic surgery using this technique
widely.
LED therapy for
skin
This therapy
involves the use of infrared light at a time and ultraviolet light. LED light
therapy works by emitting LED light. Using infrared light and ultraviolet light
therapy with LED light therapy in skin tightening and the resource with
moisture. This treatment also improves the skin metabolism. Infrared light
traveling at a wavelength which can pass through the fabric, the inch deep.
Injured cells react positively to light therapy LED by more molecules of ATP,
by which DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid) activity. Ideal
for wavelengths of LED light therapy are: 610-625, 660-690, 750-770 and 815-860
nm.
LED therapy has
proven beneficial for skin conditions include:
• The external
physical injuries (knee, ankle, shoulder, etc.).
• Abrasions,
burns, cuts on the skin
• acne and
wrinkles
• Bursitis
• Dermatitis
In fact, this
therapy helps in the fight against aging process by stimulating the production
of collagen in the skin tissue. Collagen is the main responsible for the
elasticity and firmness. Thus, most of the time this is done to improve the
cosmetic appearance and feel of the body. In addition, LED therapy for the skin
helps to retain moisture in the skin.
Rather, it is
one of the alternative methods of healing that has proven effective in treating
many skin diseases. It is always best to evaluate in contact with your skin
doctor, the condition of your skin and recommend the appropriate treatment for.
