This optimises your skin’s regenerative processes, in turn improving texture, acne marks, and scarring.

Our results speak for themselves

Phototherapy using red and blue light is a highly effective treatment for pimples and acne. Light works by suppressing pimple-causing bacteria, without the need for prescription medications. Results can be seen after one treatment; however, a series of five sessions conducted weekly will give the best results.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the advantages of LED phototherapy in acne?

 Light therapy to treat acne is –

  • Safe: No medications, no tablets, no side effects
  • Pain-free: Low-level light does not generate significant heat
  • Cost-effective: You do not need to see a dermatologist for this treatment—simply book an appointment with our dermatologist
  • Phototherapy is our preferred method of treating acne in pregnant or breastfeeding patients.
What are the disadvantages of LED phototherapy in acne?

 The disadvantages of phototherapy are –

  • Acne phototherapy is only effective for pimples and zits. It has marginal results for blackheads or severe cystic acne
  • Blue light can potentially worsen pigmentation, including dark acne scars. For these patients, we suggest red light phototherapy for acne
  • For patients with scarring, we advise adjunctive medical therapy for long-term results
How many sessions will I require?

 One session will give results; however, five sessions are ideal. These are spaced one week apart. Each session takes 15 minutes or less to complete.

What will LED do to my skin?

 LED, or low-level laser emission devices, can reduce acne scarring and acne marks.

  • Red light LED treats acne scars and blemishes
  • Blue light reduces acne spots
  • Yellow light reduces skin inflammation and speeds up recovery
     LED therapy is ideal for patients who exhibit early acne scarring or are recovering from a bout of acne.
Can patients on acne medication commence LED & laser treatments?

 Absolutely. Revisions on the concurrent use of acne medications and lasers in 2016 have confirmed this is a safe treatment.

 Your consultant dermatologist will advise you accordingly.
