Reasons for Red Light Acne Treatment

In recent years, because acne often appears in different parts of the body, the treatment of acne has attracted much attention. Whether in advertisements or newspapers, methods for treating acne often appear in front of people. When it comes to treatment methods, the most popular one is red light treatment for acne. But why can red light treat acne? The editor will explain it to you today.

Red light therapy is to filter out most of the red light, mainly the red light band, and its biological effect is mainly photochemical. Rather than heat effect.

The penetration depth of red light can reach 10-15mm, directly acting on the subcutaneous tissue. Mitochondria in cells absorb red light the most. After being irradiated with red light, the activity of mitochondrial catalase increases, which can increase cell metabolism; increase glycogen content, protein synthesis and adenosine triphosphate decomposition, thereby enhancing cell regeneration and promoting the healing of wounds and ulcers; it also increases the phagocytic function of white blood cells and improves the body's immune function. Red light therapy can promote the healing of wounds and ulcers, promote hair growth, promote the healing of fractures, and accelerate the regeneration of damaged nerves.

Red light is effective for acute, subacute, and chronic acne inflammation. Because it can increase the phagocytic function of white blood cells, it also improves the body's immune function, increases the body's defense function, promotes acne healing and reduces recurrence. In addition, in the early and middle stages of acne inflammation, the serotonin content of local tissues increases, which can cause pain in the body. Irradiation with red light can reduce the serotonin content, thereby playing an analgesic role.

Red light has no obvious adverse reactions to human skin. The specific mechanism of action is not yet clear and the treatment method is not unified. Therefore, the use of red light to treat acne needs further discussion.

Overall, red light treatment for acne is still effective. The reasons I explained to you can be understood in the above content. I know that everyone is worried about whether there will be side effects after red light treatment of acne. However, with the continuous advancement of medicine, better treatments will also appear.
