BeautySkin
is a highly effective procedure for cosmetic reduction of pimples
and blackheads. It is based on the positive effect of certain
wavelengths of light on human skin. Normal skin is rich in bacterial
flora. In a healthy skin pore the unbalanced growth of bacteria
such as propioni bacteria, is held in check by oxygen present
in the pore's internal environment. However, if this pore is
blocked, the environment becomes anaerobic (deprived of oxygen)
and bacteria can undergo explosive growth. As a result pimples
and blackheads form. Irradiation with blue light of a wavelength
of 415nm triggers reduction, a chemical process that creates
free oxygen returning the aerobic condition, and stopping the
bacteria's growth. Thus the main cause of the inflammation of
the skin pore is removed.
Visible light is electromagnetic radiation in a wavelength
range of 380-760 nm. The deployed wavelengths are in the upper
and lower range of the visible light spectrum and thus exclude
the harmful range, avoiding possible side effects like sunburns,
etc. The combination with red light reduces skin inflammation
and relaxes the skin. The application of BeautySkin
should be performed regularly everyday for about 15 minutes.
Utilize this time for active relaxation and enjoy a little
bit of peace. Once you are satisfied with your skin appearance,
continue regular treatments for 4 more weeks, and then switch
to a maitenance routine of 2 applications per week.

Abstract
In this study we have evaluated the use of blue light (peak
at 415 nm) and a mixed blue and red light (peaks at 415 and
660 nm) in the treatment of acne vulgaris. One hundred and
seven patients with mild to moderate acne vulgaris were randomized
into four treatment groups: blue light, mixed blue and red
light, cool white light and 5% benzoyl peroxide cream. Subjects
in the phototherapy groups used portable light sources and
irradiation was carried out daily for 15 min. Comparative
assessment between the three light sources was made in an
observer-blinded fashion, but this could not be achieved for
the use of benzoyl peroxide. Assessments were performed every
4 weeks. After 12 weeks of active treatment a mean improvement
of 76% (95% confidence interval 66-87) in inflammatory lesions
was achieved by the combined blue-red light phototherapy;
this was significantly superior to that achieved by blue light
(at weeks 4 and 8 but not week 12), benzoyl peroxide (at weeks
8 and 12) or white light (at each assessment). The final mean
improvement in comedones by using blue-red light was 58% (95%
confidence interval 45-71), again better than that achieved
by the other active treatments used, although the differences
did not reach significant levels. We have found that phototherapy
with mixed blue-red light, probably by combining antibacterial
and anti-inflammatory action, is an effective means of treating
acne vulgaris of mild to moderate severity, with no significant
short-term adverse effects.
