Does LED Work for Acne Treatment?

I have found LED blue light therapy very effective for treating acne but it does require multiple treatments.
LED light treatments in our practice are $35 per session and only $25 per session if done with another service such as a deep cleansing facial.
Typically patients will come in for two treatments a week for 3-4 weeks or until improvement is visible. At that point we gradually decrease the frequency of treatments. The treatment only takes about 20 minutes and does not leave any visible signs that you have had a treatment done.

Hello.  LED therapy can help with acne by killing acne bacteria.  In that regard it's like Benzoyl peroxide and many antibiotics.  Because there is no cure for acne, different treatments will have different benefits for different patients.  If you have not down well with options like over the counter products, antibiotics, Retin A, Benzoyl Peroxide or even Accutane, then you may want to consider a light based treatment like LED.  At our practice, we use LED (Blu-light) combined with aminolevulanic in a procedure called Photodynamic therapy.  This process kills acne bacteria but also helps shrink sebaceous glands.  Both help in fighting acne.  

L.E.D.( Light Emitting Diode) can help to prevent and control papules, pustules, and typical acne quite effectively if done properly. The L.E.D. penetrates into the dermis and slows sebaceous glands that create oils in the skin that can cause acne. Non inflamed acne such as whiteheads and blackheads tend to respond less effectively. Multiple treatments are required. Treatments are typically done twice a week for a few weeks. We offer L.E.D. treatments in office for $50 per treatment. A home regime would also be prescribed as needed. It is always best to have a consultation before treating any skin concerns.
