Acne can be a devastating condition for a teen. It can begin with puberty and last through the early twenties. Some adults have problems with acne outbreaks throughout their lifetime. Acute acne can cause scaring of the face, back and chest or any area affected by the condition. There are many treatments that have been offered for acne treatment, but one of the most effective is the use of an acne light.

Acne lights do not require the use of astringents, creams or lotions. The do not stain or bleach the users clothing or bedding. The light can be used while the person is involved in other activities.

Acne lights emit light at certain wavelengths. These wavelengths are in the red and blue  area of light. Some acne lights only emit the blue light, which helps to kill the  bacteria that cause acne. The red light is stimulates healing of the skin where acne has  already occurred.

The red and blue light should be applied daily for fifteen minutes to half an hour. Light  in the wavelengths used in the acne light should not cause skin damage or sunburn;  however, some people have skin that is sensitive to all light.

Results from use of the acne light are not immediate. However, after eight weeks or so, you should notice that your skin is becoming clearer and healthier.

To prevent having to use the light for extended periods of time, choose larger lights if you have problems with more than one area of acne.

Since acne can cause issues with self-esteem, for teens with outbreaks and adults with scaring, everything possible should be done to avoid its effect. The small price you pay for an acne light can make a huge difference in the life of a teen.
