At first glance, the treatment therapies that use red and blue spectrum light to treat skin disorders and revive aging skin may seem a bit dubious. How can a light beaming on your face actually help change the visible attributes of your skin? Well, infrared red and blue light therapy, as more and more people are finding, are an excellent way to help treat acne and eczema and to rejuvenate and smooth the signs of aging.
Blue light therapy works on acne inflicted skin by killing bacteria on the surface of the skin. How does killing bacteria help with acne? Well, bacteria are actually one of the major causes of acne. This, along with the excess sebum that acne prone skin produces, is what creates acne pustules or lesions on the skin. The excess sebum essentially traps the available bacteria on the skin, which causes an erupted infection on the surface of the skin.
Basically, by taking bacteria out of the equation, blue light therapy helps those with acne by clearing the skin of these inflammation-promoting organisms. This type of therapy has been a very successful treatment method for many with the acne skin condition when combined with the proper cleansing and treatment regimens. It is considered very safe, and the best part about it is that you do not need to take any synthetic drugs.
Blue light treatments are available in some spas, and also in some dermatologist’s offices. There are also in-home options that use blue spectrum light therapy as well. Depending on your budget and goals, this may be an option worth looking into if you have acne and are looking for alternatives to harsh drugs or antibiotics.
Long term antibiotics can do more harm than good by throwing off your body’s natural probiotic balance. This can lead to digestion and elimination issues, amongst a host of other problems, so you can see why more and more people are searching for alternative acne treatments.
There is also another color in the spectrum that can be extremely therapeutic for your skin. Infrared red light therapy is a little different than blue light, in that it is used in a different capacity. The primary function of red light therapy is that it is supposed to help accelerate wound healing, stimulate collagen production, and aid in fading sunspots and hyper pigmentation.
This can actually be used in conjunction with blue light therapy for acne, since it helps accelerate wound healing by enhancing collagen production. This means that it can help to reduce the appearance of acne scarring, and heal the existing acne lesions that have formed under the skin. It is also used by itself as an anti aging and skin rejuvenation tool.
Red light therapy also has demonstrated effectiveness in treating rosacea and eczema, so there are multiple applications for this type of infrared therapy. Red light therapy devices can be used as a nonsurgical face lift alternative, as they help your skin maintain elasticity and firmness, while helping refine texture and smooth lines. There are several good hand held LED (light emitting diode) models that you can use in your own home; it’s just a matter of finding the right one.

We appreciate to no end, your wonderful comments and remarks at how we have grown our baby blog. The Rev, Sam, Rolf and everyone love you to death!
We do ask that if you are seeking pingback, that the comments, questions or remarks be relevant to the article that you are responding; otherwise Janice has a hissy and marks them as SPAM. Once that’s done, there’s NO RETRIEVING them.
Also, even though 3 of us speak and write in Spanish, we must demand that you comments be written in English. We are not the only ones that read what you write.
Gamers; unless you are commenting on an article, you will be treated as SPAM. Almost no one among our Loyal Readers is interested or cares about your systems, or how you pirate games. You are welcome to overlook this site for comments. We are here to teach and to learn what keeps us above the turf. If gaming does it for you, bully. Please take this in context, that you are a tiny minority, and most of us do not make our living by gaming.
It is sometimes very difficult to deny simple pleasures. However, when my simple pleasures interfere with your sense of happiness and well-being, then I must take steps to insure your happiness. What I receive in return is your gratitude; that’s worth the “price of admission!”
All of us: Janice, The Rev., Kermit, Rolf, Sam, and our new intern Gonzo, wish for you a joyous holiday, safety, good food, better company, and May You Be Blessed By Your Days!

We Love our Loyal Readers beyond belief! REALLY we do. but we have been railroaded a couple of times.
Once Bitten, twice shy! We are now sending Brutus to check out each and every site that asks for pingback. We seek requests, relevant to the post. We regret having to take this step. We want the site to be educational, informing, humorous, and thought-provoking. Unrelated or SPAMMED commentary is not tolerated. It violates the Divine Law of Sharing.
Thanks for your understanding!

We think it goes without saying that we post answers to your questions time after time. So far last month poor Janice did it multiple times, and others have kicked in as well.
- YES! You are allowed to re-publish, by blanket permission as long as there’s a pingback.
- Our Platform is WORDPRESS, which we use as part of our business model, http://david5372.gogvo.com. WE DO NOT OUTSOURCE — anything! We make our own mistakes, we all speak English, and we all love to fight about everything; this means we get to kiss and make up afterward,
- We re-publish the majority of our posts. Why? Because what interests, is interesting. You seem to agree. We have over 50 sources which are checked every day. You don’t have time for that!
- We publish comments that are relevant to the article commented. So, if you didn’t see your comment posted, then it had nothing to do with the posting. Don’t look for a pingback on an unrelated site; it won’t happen.
We love our Loyal Readers. We encourage them to submit postings. Do this directly to Rev. David; he will post it for you and you will get full credit and a linkback you the address of your choice. We screen for spelling, content, and for REFERENCES. Unless something is labeled opinion, gearing to the Common Good, and presenting a fresh point of view means we will publish. Opinions will be well-reasoned, thought-provoking and will require full disclosure, please. It’s only fair to our Loyal Readers. The Rev’s Address can be found in the Right Column, by the way.
Kisses and HUGS!
Rolf and Janice

Many of you have had questions directed to me personally, which you
did not want to publish. I understand this; however when I have tried to
reply, the server will always bounce my reply back at me. This makes me
look Like I really don’t care about my loyal readers. Not True!
SO in order to remedy this minor vicissitude, questions may be directed
to my address and I will answer them the same day. Thank you for your time!*
