Light Treatments Could Get Rid of your Pimples

Pimples may be cured by a simple light treatment, first developed to press out wrinkles, as shown by a study carried out at a London hospital. The Hammersmith Hospital in West London tested Low Level Laser Therapy commonly used in private beauty salons on thirty patients who were having mild to moderate pimples.

In a time period of 12 weeks their acne had halved. Meanwhile, those on a dummy treatment presented no improvement at all. Findings prove that those with the most extreme symptoms displayed the most astonishing improvement, mostly w/in the first month of treatment. Under experts conclusions, this is significantly faster than most conventional antibiotic treatments, which can take as eternal as eight months to take effect.

The study showed that a single five-minute session shoot up a dramatic result on acne for up to 12 months. Physicians used a treatment called pulse dye laser therapy in which the affected area is exposed to short bursts of light. The procedure had been used to combat wrinkles as it is recognized to stimulate the production of collagen.

Tony Chu, the dermatologist who led the trial, explained that “we were brought in to see if the anecdotal evidence worked in a clinical trial and we found out it was very successful. Even So, we still do not know precisely how it works and that is an area we are now working on.”

The expert said that the treatment appears to be showing the same kind of effect as antibiotics, but w/o the possible side effects. “What we need to do now is to see if it works as well on pimples around the other parts of the body, and work out the treatment which is the most clinically effective”, he stated.

There are lots of modern ways to get rid of pimples nowadays, what we need to do now as acne sufferers is to choose the method we believe in. Or we could ask our dermatologists (what are they for?), they would definitely recommend the best ways for you.
