Treat Acne with Phototherapy Lamps

May 19, 2019 by John Andros

Phototherapy lamps are proven to effectively treat many medical conditions including various skin conditions such as acne.  Acne affects many people in the United States and up to 85% of adolescents. Dermatologists treat acne with a combination of conventional methods such as antibiotics and retinoids, although more doctors are realizing the benefits of treatment with a UV phototherapy lamp.

Conventional treatment methods can have side effects or may not be completely effective in treating acne. People can develop a resistance to antibiotics and topical treatments may be harsh on the skin. Acne left untreated can develop into severe cases and even leave scarring in adulthood.

Treating acne with a phototherapy acne lamp is proven to be effective and may be used in conjunction with other conventional methods. UV light immediately kills bacteria upon exposure to improve skin conditions without bothersome and harmful side effects.

Light therapy lamps must be designed for the condition in which they are treating.  Using the right type of phototherapy acne lamp provides significant relief to patients worldwide
