Edit Acne trial shows improvement using blue light therapy

<p>Microcomedones are the earliest acne lesion and are basically blockages in the follicle. In these conditions the naturally occurring (but largely commensal) organism <em>Propionibacterium acnes</em> uses sebum for growth and then proliferates. In a sebum rich blocked follicle P. acnes contaminates the follicle and causes significant localized inflammation.</p> <p>Part of the difficulty in treating acne stems from the significant side effects that many traditional medical treatments cause. Blue light (405-420nm) represents an exciting new direction in the treatment and management of acne. It has been clinically proven to kill <em>Propionibacterium acnes</em> and improve inflammatory acne. The great advantage of this treatment is that it has no side effects so is ideal for those who have found pharmaceutical therapy problematic.</p>
