Acne Light Therapy Treatment

Acne is an extremely common condition of the skin that is experienced by millions of people all over the world. Its root cause is found to be a result of bacterial action on pores that have been clogged with excess oil (sebum). Generally, our body produces normal quantities of sebum. However, hormonal changes such as those associated with periods of puberty or menstruation can affect the amount of oil that is produced and it is this excess that causes our pores to clog thereby providing room for the formation of acne.

I have been using the Lumie Clear Device for my adult acne for 8 weeks. I am 38 and have suffered from mild - moderate acne since my mid 20's. I have tried lots of things over the years such as retin a, proactiv, salicylic acid, birth control pills, various creams and lotions all with little of no effect (With the exception of Roaccutane which did completely clear up my skin, but gave me anxiety attacks for a further 3 years and made my hair really thin so I wouldnt risk taking them again. Always the optimist and willing to try anything to improve my skin I signed up for a 12 week trial of the Lumie and boy am I glad that I did !! My worst areas are my forehaed and right lower cheek/chin so have used the Lumie pressed right up against my skin on each of these areas for 15 mins daily. It has a timer and automatically switches off when the recommended time of 15 mins is over, which is good as Ive fallen asleep a few times with it resting on my forehead. Lumie say that most people notice a difference in just 4 weeks with excellent results in 8-12 weeks. I noticed an improvement after 2 weeks of use - my skin was less red and spots were fading a lot quicker than normal. I did still get new spots (But no where near as many as normal) up until 6 weeks of use but the last couple of weeks I haven't had any new breakouts at all. I have even been able to swap my make up from the heavy camouflage covermark foundadtion that I have worn for years to light coverage Bare Minerals powder foundation. I can honestly say that I am over the moon with the results I have had from using Lumie Clear and hope that continuing to use it keeps the acne at bay.

I have been using the Lumieclear machine for 7 weeks now, for at least 15mins directly on the skin. I use babywipes to clean the surface of the machine. I am seeing good results-you are supposed to see changes within 4 weeks and real results within 12weeks. Although my skin is not clear my spots are healing a lot more quickly than they do usually. I would recommend it for mild to moderate acne. I would say mine is severe and it has helped but not to the extent I would like. However,by the time the twelve weeks (the length of the trial) are up I may have better news!

That's pretty much what you have to be for this little gem to have a decent effect. If you can get within about a foot of the light source, then it does a decent job at alleviating the symptoms of SAD. I've had my Nature Bright now for 2 years. Aside from the limited effective distance, the two other complaints I have are 1) one, sometimes two, strips of the LED lights no longer work, and 2) the "-" button doesn't want to function every time. For this much money, I'd expect better craftsmanship. I find the lamp acceptable and do not regret the purchase, but if I had to do it over again I'd buy a full SAD lamp and set it on a timer.

I enjoy using this light every morning and have to share it with my 11 year old too. It is a hint of sun in the gloom. I really think it has helped with my energy and mood. Well worth the money. It is by far the most attractive and the only light I found that also wakes you up with gradual light too.

I realised this year that a pattern was developing and that I felt really low whenever it was dark and grey. My mood was noticeably improved from sitting in the morning sun - and I decided to look into SAD lamps. I was faced with an overwhelming range of options, from the cheapest portable to some very expensive and larger products. Having reviewed the light output from all of these items - and considered the range of functions, I decided that the PER3 was probably the best value and most versatile product on the market for my needs. The choice is confused by manufacturers quoting lumen outputs for different distances from lamps - but standardising distances for comparison showed this lamp is amongst the most powerful in the price range. Other wake-up alarm-clock lamps seemed considerably less powerful and probably of less therapeutic use. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending this item - my mood has been significantly and noticeably improved since I got it, and I use it regularly in all 3 modes. The sunrise wake up is wonderful, and I then lie comfortably in bed getting my therapeutic dose of light before the day ahead. At night I use the sunset function and I find that I drift off comfortably to the fading light. On really dark days I can easily use it as a desktop lamp and get a top up of light (it retains all of the settings when you unplug and move it - which is not mentioned in either the product description or the manual). I am not exagerating when I say that I feel happy when I see that bright light! My friends have noticed that I am in a better space and as an added bonus the light is energy efficient.

Waking up in the morning has definitely been nicer since owning one of these. I think that this is about as good as it gets with SAD lighting. I was a little bit apprehensive about buying this at first because I do like the idea of being woken up by nature sounds which is a feature of other ones I have owned in the past and this light does not have this function. But I have found that I gradually wake up with the light about 5 minutes before the alarm even goes off so I don't even need the sound alarm. I like the fact you can use this as a bedside light that you can dim to the level you prefer(although I wouldn't read for too long with it before you go to bed as it does wake you up a bit... the sunset function is best for this) and I like how gradual the dimming and brightening process is. I really like this product but have found it cheaper elsewhere, it is worth looking around first.

I was given this product as a present. After reading about how it works, I managed to get it going in a matter of minutes. I was amazed when at 7 o'clock when the dawn simulator kicked in and and the light got brighter gradually. I got up all energised unlike the way it used to be when I found it hard to wake up. I tried the light therapy in the evenings as I was suffering from fatigue and again it seems to do the trick. I highly recommend this product it is worth every penny.

There are many methods used to treat areas of the skin that are affected with acne, but one of the most effective of this involves the use of acne light therapy treatment. Acne light therapy treatment works by using the healing effects of light to kill the bacteria that is responsible for acne. Once this bacterium is removed people find that their acne outbreak quickly leaves. Many dermatologists use this process in treating people who have serious outbreaks of acne. However, there are many acne light therapy treatment products which offer people the opportunity to treat their acne on their own without medical supervision. There are advantages to using acne treatment products. Some of these are

It can be done from the comfort of your home:
Not so long ago, the only way through which people could enjoy the benefits of light therapy was making an appointment with a doctor. Now, acne light therapy treatment can be done from the comfort of your home. You therefore get to save more money and enjoy the benefit of doing the treatment at your convenience. Acne light treatment therapy does not conflict with other acne treatment methods and so you can combine the use of this with other methods if this is your preference.

Acne light therapy blocks out dangerous UV rays:
A common practice by sufferers of acne who wish to benefit from the healing properties of light is to lie under the sun thereby exposing their skin to its rays. The problem with this method is that although the sun does kill many of the acne causing bacteria it also damages the skin as well. The effects of the UV rays from the sun can result in sunburns, skin damage or even worse effects. With the acne light therapy treatment methods however, people are saved from having to experience this. The light used in this treatment does not possess any harmful UV rays and so you get to enjoy the benefit of light whilst avoiding the negative effects.

You can use acne light therapy all over your body
Facial acne might be a common affliction amongst people but it certainly is not the only form. About 2/3 of the people who suffer from facial acne also suffer from a far wider condition—body acne. Many people today have acne outbreaks on their chest, arms and some other parts of their body. As a result of this most people are unable to attend to these trouble spots via normal methods. With acne light therapy treatment however, this is not a problem. Using the product in the comfort of your home, you can treat not only the troubled spots on your face, but other areas as well.

These are just a few of some of the benefits found with using light treatment products. As can be expected, the results which you experience will be affected by the type of product which you use. You should therefore ensure that you only use quality acne light therapy treatment products.
