It is based on the positive effect which light with specific wavelengths can have on human skin. Blue light penetrates up to the pimple and blackhead causing bacteria (propionibacterium acne) in the skin. It acts as anti-bacteria substance and prevents further occurence of pimples and blackheads. Red light alleviates the skin inflammation, relieves and stimulates the skin positively.

The combination and the simultaneous application of both the light shades produce the special effect of BEAUTY SKIN and this without the impact of radiation.

2. How successful is the appliation?

The medical studies were carried out at the dermatological institute of the Hammersmith Hospital in London.

The scientific working group headed by Dr. Anthony C. Chu carried out tests on 107 patients with light to medium acne vulgaris. Four groups were formed:
-Treatment with blue light (approx. 415 nm)
-Treatment with red & blue light BEAUTY SKIN
(415 nm, 659 nm)
-Treatment with white light 4300K (color temp.)
-Treatment with 5% benzoylperoxide cream
The patients with light application were given radiation 15 minutes daily. Benzoylperoxide was applied 2 times every day with no additional treatment. The test ran for 1/4 year.

The success of the treatment was evaluated on a monthly basis by medical professionals, as well as independently by the patients themselves. The results show that 2 out of 3 users of BEAUTY SKIN experienced a visible miprovement of up to 75%.

3. How BEAUTY SKIN works

A. Bacteria
Even in the case of healthy appearing skin, the propioni acne bacteria is present in every skin pore. Normally, the oxygenated environment of healthy pores inhibits the bacteria's growth. There is a relationship between the growth and of bacteria and the openness of the pores. If the pore becomes blocked, the bacteria's environment becomes anaerobic (without oxygen)

In this atmosphere the bacteria can grow rapidly, resulting in visible pimples. There are many causes that can lead to pore blockage, such as hormonal changes during puberty or reaction to toxins such as dioxine (in the extreme case), which for example can lead to chlor acne.

B. Metabolism
A product of metabolism of propioni bacteria acne is the porphyrine. Under effect of blue light, concentrated in the wavelength of 415 nm, porphyrine begins to fluoresce. This starts a biochemical process which releases oxygen. This process is known as "Reducing," where oxygen is separated from the molecule. The released oxygen has a deleterious influence on the bacteria, killing it or slowing its growth.

Due to this anti-bacterial effect of the blue light, the cause of inflammation in the skin pore is rendered ineffective.

Thus, through this anti-bacterial effect, this blue light eliminates the cause of inflammation in the skin pore.

Red light, meanwhile, is commonly used in standard classical medicine. A frequent use is to stimulate the wound healing process and for reducing the scar formation after operations. It relaxes and stimulates blood circulation in compromised tissue.

The red light -- as many trials of independent scientists have shown -- stimulates the white blood cells to produce fibroplast, a building block of new tissue, accelerating the healing process. Inflammations heal more effectively and swelling is reduced. This is precisely the effect that BEAUTY SKIN can take advantage of.

Many years of study have allowed us to strengthen and optimize the effective light spectra in BEAUTY SKIN. Dermatologists and lamp developers have worked closely together to achieve the results represented by BEAUTY SKIN.

The wavelengths effective in BEAUTY SKIN occur simultaneously in the natural sunlight spectrum. This can be seen easily from Plank's radiation distribution of a glowing body like the sun at 6500 Kelvin.

C. UV Light
After filtering through the earth's atmosphere, sunlight contains radiation in several portions of the UV range.

UVA 315 - 380 nm (as per DIN 5031 Part 7)
-Has mainly pigmenting effect (browning)!
-Skin aging is accelerated, since UVA penetrates up to the connective tissue of the skin and impairs the elasticity.

UVB 280 - 315 nm (as per DIN 5031 Part 7)
-Stimulates: the melanocytes sitting deep in the skin to produce melanin, which moves slowly to the skin surface and is reduced by UVA, typically browning the skin.
-This creates a risk of sun burn, which is damage of the skin due to radiation, leading to inflammation, and occasionally to permanent damage of the skin tissue.

UVC 100 - 280 nm (as per DIN 5031 Part 7)
-Carcinogen
-Largely filtered out through the ozone layer in the atmosphere. Remark: e.g. in Australia the filtering of the ozone layer is heavily restricted.

For skin, UV means stress. After regular sunbathing, the appearance of the skin will initially improve. However, sun exposure actually lays the path for new pimples and blackheads. BEAUTY SKIN utilizes only those light ranges which improves the skin's appearance without negative side effects.
