If acne is a problem for you then you probably just want a solution that will work quickly and effectively. Light therapy for acne is not a new solution, in the years before we wised up about the damage that sunlight can do to the skin many doctors would advise acne sufferers to let the sun dry up their acne problem. Of course that is not a sensible solution as it could potentially replaces the acne with much more serious and even life threatening conditions.
Fortunately modern acne light therapy lamps have solved that problem by providing light that is strong enough to treat acne but is not damaging to the skin. Acne light therapy lamps can offer a very real alternative to the creams and lotions that can be messy to apply and over time can lose their effectiveness.
