The Rainbow Connection
While the visible light we receive from the sun is a mixture of all the different colors of the spectrum, it appears almost white in color. When the air bends the light, a rainbow is created, causing the various wavelengths of light to become visible. Researchers are now discovering that different wavelengths of light have therapeutic effects on the skin. For example, when blue light, which is characterized by a wavelength of 400 to 500 nanometers, is applied to the skin at certain frequencies, lengths of time, and intensity, clinical improvement is noted and the skin develops a much smoother appearance. This blue light also possesses anti-inflammatory capability.
Visible shortwavelength blue-violet light, which is of a wavelength that typically doesn’t penetrate skin well, can impart smoothness and radiance to exposed skin surfaces, resulting in a vibrant, healthy skin appearance. It can also resolve erythema (redness or inflammation of the skin due to capillary dilation), such as that produced by the UV effects of sunlight.
Scientific studies have shown that light irradiation on skin and other tissues may increase the growth and proliferation of cells, including the acceleration of wound healing and healing of skin grafts. This is important because the ultimate result of skin aging is that while individual cells enlarge, the total number of cells decreases by at least approximately 30%. This results in the loss of the regularity of tissue structure. Other benefits of this light treatment are the control of bacterial infection and the treatment of neoplastic (the conversion of normal cells into tumor cells) tissue, pigmentations (including tattoos), psoriasis, and, as mentioned, acne.
To capitalize on these positive effects, I created a thin, pliable mask comprised of LEDs (light-emitting diodes) for application directly to aging, damaged, or blemished skin on the face and neck. I have been very encouraged with the results and can see that visible light therapy for the treatment of aging skin (as well as acne) offers a technologically advanced, safe, and highly effective solution to a variety of skin problems. Prior to this technological advance, these conditions could be resolved only by costly, invasive therapies or powerful pharmaceuticals, both of which have potentially dangerous side effects. The outstanding anti-inflammatory effects offer short- and long-term anti-aging benefits, helping to reverse many signs of aging as well as the rapid healing of unsightly acne lesions. The many benefits
of this new light therapy will help ensure a significantly more youthful, radiant, clear, unblemished, and healthy skin on both face and body.
