We tend to think of acne just being a teenage thing. Often it is, but it can persist right through to old age. Most of us worry about wrinkles, but most acne sufferers would probably trade a few wrinkles for a skin free of acne.
Though I had bad pimples in my teens, fortunately I didn’t develop acne.
However, one of my coworkers (who is 48) has bad acne and is always trying to find ways to deal with it. Over the years we have worked together, they have tried pretty much everything – antibiotics, benzoyl peroxide, retinoids – you name it.
Recently, they tried light therapy and we all noticed the improvement. So certainly in this case, the answer as to whether it works, is a definite yes.
Light therapy is very appealing since it does not involve medications and you can do it at home. Plus it is totally painless and has no side effects.
Light therapy was originally developed by, and is still used by, the military to aid in wound healing. It was later discovered that it can be quite effective for acne.
If you are interested in finding out more about light therapy for acne, the products available etc., a really good site is http://acne-light.com.
If you, your kids, or others in your life have acne, it is certainly worth checking out light therapy.
