A study at Hammersmith Hospital in West London reveals that light therapy, originally developed to smooth wrinkles, may offer a promising cure for acne. The research involved 30 patients with mild to moderate acne, utilizing Low Level Laser Therapy typically used in private beauty salons.
Over a span of 12 weeks, patients experienced a 50% reduction in acne, while those on a placebo showed no change. The most noticeable improvements occurred within the first month, especially in those with severe symptoms. This rapid response is notably faster than conventional antibiotic treatments, which can take up to eight months to show results.
The study demonstrated that a single five-minute session could effectively reduce acne for up to a year. The treatment used, known as pulse dye laser therapy, exposes the affected area to short bursts of light that stimulate collagen production?"a technique previously used for wrinkle treatment.
Tony Chu, the dermatologist leading the trial, stated, "We wanted to verify anecdotal evidence in a clinical setting, and the results were very successful. Although we are still exploring how exactly it works, we are encouraged by the findings."
Chu noted that the therapy seems as effective as antibiotics but without their side effects. The next step is to investigate its effectiveness on acne in other body areas and determine the most clinically effective treatment protocols.
