Light Therapy Devices For Skin Rejuvenation

According to makemeheal.com, there are a variety of light therapy devices that you can use at home to rejuvenate your skin. There are three common categories for which people seek rejuvenation: reducing acne and scarring; reducing wrinkles and facial lines; and eliminating hyper-pigmented skin.


Light Therapy Device for Acne


Makemeheal.com recommends the Ageless Beauty Marvel-Mini Blue product as an ideal home light therapy device for treating acne and acne scarring. The cost of the device is a few hundred dollars, but it is effective at reducing acne. The "blue" light therapy device emits a specific UV-light that attacks and kills bacteria, which are the common culprits in causing acne on a person's face. This type of light therapy focuses specifically on acne that a "propinbacterium" causes. For the best results, you must use this light therapy device twice a week to reduce bacteria-based acne.


Light Therapy Device for Aging Skin


An aging skin light therapy device is also in the few hundred-dollar price range. Made by the same manufacturer, the Ageless Beauty Marvel-Mini Red is a light therapy device that uses a similar function as the Blue device. It differs in that the UV-light therapy emitted from the device focuses on reducing facial lines and skin wrinkles that are the result of the aging process. Rather than killing bacteria, this UV-light therapy penetrates beneath the skin to increase blood flow and reduce skin creasing that extended exposure to the sun can cause.


Light Therapy Device for Hyper-Pigmented Skin








Hyper-pigmented skin is skin that has excessive brown spotting and discoloration, the result of a genetic predisposition or simply of the aging process. The Ageless Beauty Marvel-Mini Green is a light therapy device that emits UV-light therapy designed to treat hyper-pigmentation. The UV-light wavelengths in the Green device treat "basal" cells, which are skin cells that reside near the skin's surface. The Green light therapy device focuses the wavelength on the pigmentation and "lightens" those spots, causing them to better blend with the skin color on the rest of the face. This treatment is ideal for individuals who have lighter skin with brown or dark discoloration.
