1. What is the Beauty Skin Acne Lamp & what are it's affects?

The BEAUTY SKIN Acne Light is a highly effective procedure for the cosmetic treatment of pimples and blackheads.

It is based on the positive effect which light with specific wavelengths can have on human skin. Blue light penetrates up to the pimple and blackhead causing bacteria (propionibacterium acne) in the skin. It acts as anti-bacteria substance and prevents further occurrence of pimples and blackheads. Red light alleviates the skin inflammation, relieves and stimulates the skin positively.

The combination and the simultaneous application of both the light shades produce the special effect of BEAUTY SKIN and this without the impact of radiation.

2. Acne Lamp versus UV Sunlamps/Tanning Lamps: As most people see significant improvement in their acne during the summer months when they are outdoors in the sun's UV rays, our UV Sunlamps/Tanning Lamps (click here to view our UV sunlamps / tanning lamps) also provide significant benefits for treating acne. We offer two options:  our UV Sunlamps/Tanning lamps that  DO emit UV rays and WILL also provide tanning, but we also offer this non-tanning option for those concerned about long term risks some encounter with prolonged UV exposure. The Beauty Skin acne lamp DOES take longer to clear up acne, but again, for those who wish to - or need to avoid UV tanning rays this is a good option.

On average, the use of the blue & red light therapy takes longer to treat acne, however for those concerned about UV exposure this is a good option.

3. How successful is the acne light application?

The medical studies were carried out at the dermatological institute of the Hammersmith Hospital in London.

The scientific working group headed by Dr. Anthony C. Chu carried out tests on 107 patients with light to medium acne vulgaris. Four groups were formed:
-Treatment with blue light (approx. 415 nm)
-Treatment with red & blue light BEAUTY SKIN
(415 nm, 659 nm)
-Treatment with white light 4300K (color temp.)
-Treatment with 5% benzoylperoxide cream
The patients with light application were given radiation 15 minutes daily. Benzoylperoxide was applied 2 times every day with no additional treatment. The test ran for three months.

The success of the treatment was evaluated on a monthly basis by medical professionals, as well as independently by the patients themselves. The results show that 2 out of 3 users of BEAUTY SKIN experienced a visible improvement of up to 75%.

4. How BEAUTY SKIN acne lamp works

A. Bacteria
Even in the case of healthy appearing skin, the propioni acne bacteria is present in every skin pore. Normally, the oxygenated environment of healthy pores inhibits the bacteria's growth. There is a relationship between the growth and of bacteria and the openness of the pores. If the pore becomes blocked, the bacteria's environment becomes anaerobic (without oxygen)

In this atmosphere the bacteria can grow rapidly, resulting in visible pimples. There are many causes that can lead to pore blockage, such as hormonal changes during puberty or reaction to toxins such as dioxine (in the extreme case), which for example can lead to chlor acne.

B. Metabolism
A product of metabolism of propioni bacteria acne is the porphyrine. Under effect of blue light, concentrated in the wavelength of 415 nm, porphyrine begins to fluoresce. This starts a biochemical process which releases oxygen. This process is known as "Reducing," where oxygen is separated from the molecule. The released oxygen has a deleterious influence on the bacteria, killing it or slowing its growth.

Due to this anti-bacterial effect of the blue light, the cause of inflammation in the skin pore is rendered ineffective.

Thus, through this anti-bacterial effect, this blue light eliminates the cause of inflammation in the skin pore.

Red light, meanwhile, is commonly used in standard classical medicine. A frequent use is to stimulate the wound healing process and for reducing the scar formation after operations. It relaxes and stimulates blood circulation in compromised tissue.

The red light -- as many trials of independent scientists have shown -- stimulates the white blood cells to produce fibroplast, a building block of new tissue, accelerating the healing process. Inflammations heal more effectively and swelling is reduced. This is precisely the effect that BEAUTY SKIN can take advantage of.

Many years of study have allowed us to strengthen and optimize the effective light spectra in BEAUTY SKIN. Dermatologists and lamp developers have worked closely together to achieve the results represented by BEAUTY SKIN.

The wavelengths effective in BEAUTY SKIN occur simultaneously in the natural sunlight spectrum. This can be seen easily from Plank's radiation distribution of a glowing body like the sun at 6500 Kelvin.

C. UV Light
After filtering through the earth's atmosphere, sunlight contains radiation in several portions of the UV range.

UVA 315 - 380 nm (as per DIN 5031 Part 7)
-Has mainly pigmenting effect (browning)!
-Skin aging is accelerated, since UVA penetrates up to the connective tissue of the skin and impairs the elasticity.

UVB 280 - 315 nm (as per DIN 5031 Part 7)
-Stimulates: the melanocytes sitting deep in the skin to produce melanin, which moves slowly to the skin surface and is reduced by UVA, typically browning the skin.
-This creates a risk of sun burn, which is damage of the skin due to radiation, leading to inflammation, and occasionally to permanent damage of the skin tissue.

UVC 100 - 280 nm (as per DIN 5031 Part 7)
-Carcinogen
-Largely filtered out through the ozone layer in the atmosphere.

For your skin, UV has many benefits but can also cause stress and long term risks for some.


The BEAUTY SKIN Acne Lamp utilizes only those light ranges which improve the skin's appearance without other potential negative UV side effects.

The Beauty Skin Acne Light is a highly effective procedure for cosmetic reduction of pimples and blackheads. It is based on the positive effect of certain wavelengths of light on human skin. Normal skin is rich in bacterial flora. In a healthy skin pore the unbalanced growth of bacteria such as propioni bacteria, is held in check by oxygen present in the pore's internal environment. However, if this pore is blocked, the environment becomes anaerobic (deprived of oxygen) and bacteria can undergo explosive growth. As a result pimples and blackheads form. Irradiation with blue light of a wavelength of 415nm triggers reduction, a chemical process that creates free oxygen returning the aerobic condition, and stopping the bacteria's growth. Thus the main cause of the inflammation of the skin pore is removed.

Visible light is electromagnetic radiation in a wavelength range of 380-760 nm. The deployed wavelengths are in the upper and lower range of the visible light spectrum and thus exclude the harmful range, avoiding possible side effects like sunburns, etc. The combination with red light reduces skin inflammation and relaxes the skin. The application of Beauty Skin should be performed regularly everyday for about 15 minutes. Utilize this time for active relaxation and enjoy a little bit of peace. Once you are satisfied with your skin appearance, continue regular treatments for 4 more weeks, and then switch to a maintenance routine of 2 applications per week.

Abstract
In this study we have evaluated the use of blue light (peak at 415 nm) and a mixed blue and red light (peaks at 415 and 660 nm) in the treatment of acne vulgaris. One hundred and seven patients with mild to moderate acne vulgaris were randomized into four treatment groups: blue light, mixed blue and red light, cool white light and 5% benzoyl peroxide cream. Subjects in the phototherapy groups used portable light sources and irradiation was carried out daily for 15 min. Comparative assessment between the three light sources was made in an observer-blinded fashion, but this could not be achieved for the use of benzoyl peroxide. Assessments were performed every 4 weeks. After 12 weeks of active treatment a mean improvement of 76% (95% confidence interval 66-87) in inflammatory lesions was achieved by the combined blue-red light phototherapy; this was significantly superior to that achieved by blue light (at weeks 4 and 8 but not week 12), benzoyl peroxide (at weeks 8 and 12) or white light (at each assessment). The final mean improvement in comedones by using blue-red light was 58% (95% confidence interval 45-71), again better than that achieved by the other active treatments used, although the differences did not reach significant levels. We have found that phototherapy with mixed blue-red light, probably by combining antibacterial and anti-inflammatory action, is an effective means of treating acne vulgaris of mild to moderate severity, with no significant short-term adverse effects.
