There was a test involving the usage of the Puls Lights or heated energy treatment in order to prove its benefits in the medical world and especially in skin related affections.  This was tested on twenty patients that with moderate and mild acne eruptions. They were exposed to the energy heated light puls for half an hour each week, in a period of five weeks. After the treatment time the medical researchers already noticed the first clear skin condition improvement and the ability of shrinking those sebaceous glands, keeping a constant small secretion of sebum and other facial oils and make all the inflammation areas diminish.

The ALA light therapy is another form that can be used to treat acne. The advantages of this treatment are that the therapy itself lasts lesser than in other kind of treatments.

The Aminolevulinic acid (ALA) is directly applied to the facial skin and in order to act. Aminolevulinic acid is a medication that manages to increase the sensitivity towards the light. When ALA is used as an acne treatment it must be kept on the facial skin for a short period of time. The actual period of time is set by the severity of your skin affection and the level of sebum your sebaceous glands secret. The next step consists in removing or washing the aminolevulinic acid and exposing the skin with to the light therapy. Since the previous acid makes the skin even more sensitive in order for the light therapy to really show a positive effect, the sufferers are instructed to put on sun cream and other related lotions that they have to not wash for at least forty eight hours after the treatment.



The researches made by the dermatology community had delievered the conclusion that blue or red colored light that follow an aminolevulinic acid treatment is very effective as an acne treatment. However, with all this, the red nuance exposure after the ALA application can damage some tissues (depeding on the length of time the patients had on the aminolevulinic acid) and can cause some undesired effects such as: the darkening of a small area of the facial skin, that is temporary but can look weird just right after the red light exposure, and the development of another dermatological affection known as folliculitis- an inflammable hair bulb and  follicle that can look similar to an acne eruption.

So in conclusion it is better for a acne patient to expose his damaged skin only to the blue light nuance that had no side effects.



Other forms of treatment consist in the Pulsed Dye Laser Light. A treatment that was and still is a rather controversial dermatological debate …in half of the patients this kind of treatment managed to cover scars, prevent future acne bursts and cleaned the redness and swelled areas. But in the other half, it manage to only reduce the excess sebum secretions and go from moderate acne to a mild type.
