Red Light Therapy Benefits
Red light therapy stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, helping cells reproduce faster. The result is the general reduction and reversal of fine lines and wrinkles along with firmer, plumper skin texture. Red light therapy can reduce:
1. Inflammation
2. Skin discoloration
3. The appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
4. Sun and age spots
5. Red and infrared LED light also provide a soothing effect on the external layers of skin, enhancing natural coloration while reducing the signs of aging due to blemishes, sun, and age spots.
What Is Blue Light Therapy?
Blue light therapy penetrates the pores and eliminates bacteria. While some bacteria are helpful, others promote oil production and other blemish-causing conditions. Blue light activates chemicals inside these bacteria, which ruptures their outer walls, destroying the cell and their ability to form acne and other imperfections.
Blue Light Therapy Benefits
A review of several studies indicates that LED light therapy devices can improve a range of skin conditions, including psoriasis and mild-to-moderate acne. Rosacea and sun damage are also ideal candidates for blue light therapy treatments. reVive Light Therapy® incorporates Deep Penetrating Light (dpl®) technology into our blue light products as well, which allows our light to penetrate deeper into the skin structure and treat bacteria that reside at a depth that traditional acne treatment topicals can’t reach.
What’s the Difference Between Red and Blue Light Therapy?
Red and blue light are at different wavelengths, and therefore have different effects on the skin. Where red light therapy helps at the surface level of the skin — stimulating collagen, reducing inflammation — blue light therapy penetrates the pores and eliminates bacteria.
Can You Use Red and Blue Light Therapy Together?
Red light therapy and blue light therapy are often used together and complement one another. Here are some of the skin conditions that red and blue light therapy, together, can treat:
? Acne
? Inflammation
? Scarring
? Dermatitis
? Eczema
? Psoriasis
? Rosacea
Signs of aging, including age spots and wrinkles, Wound healing
Other skin conditions caused by inflammation
Red and Blue Light Therapy for Psoriasis
Some research has shown that red and blue light therapy can improve plaques in psoriasis patients. However, more research is needed to know the long-term efficacy.
Red and Blue Light Therapy for Dermatitis and Eczema
A 2016 study in the journal Dermatology showed that blue light therapy was safe and effective in reducing lesions caused by eczema.
Red and Blue Light Therapy For Acne Treatment
Combining red and blue light therapy treats acne more efficiently than blue light alone: as blue light destroys the acne-causing bacteria beneath the skin’s surface, the red light reduces inflammation and accelerates healing.

How Often Should I Use My Red or Blue Light Therapy Device?
The guidelines for use are similar for most red and blue light therapy devices. However, if you are using blue light, you should wear goggles to protect your eyes. To maximize results, use the system in one treatment area for 3 minutes. Hold the device steady without moving around.
