How does it work?

Blue LED (415nm): It has long been known that sun light (UV light) will improve acne. However, because of photo ageing and medical side effects, UV lights are not recommended as a safe treatment for acne. More recently, a peak wavelength of 415nm, which is outside the UV range and therefore safe, have been found to be a highly effective acne treatment. It is known that Proprionibacterium acnes (P. acne) produce porphyrins during their normal life cycle. Porphyrins absorb light energy at the near UV and visible blue light spectrum. The irradiation of P. acnes with blue visible lights (415nm) lead to photo excitation of bacterial porphyrins, singlet oxygen production and bacterial destruction. Red Light (633nm): It has been found that exposure to 633nm low-level wavelengths release cytokines.
Cytokines stimulate fibroblast proliferation and the production of growth factors, thus influencing the inflammatory process, healing and ultimately wound repair and has been found to significantly improve postoperative open wounds. This light will reduce any chance of scarring. Britebox have been treating acne with light for 6 years and have an excellent treatment response.
