Ageing changes in the skin are a group of common conditions and developments that occur as people grow older. Skin changes are among the most visible signs of ageing and evidence of increasing age includes wrinkles and sagging skin. This happens due to the breakdown of collagen and elastin, dehydration and the slowdown of cell turnover.

Acne, medically known as Acne Vulgaris, is a skin disease that involves the oil glands at the base of hair follicles. It commonly occurs during puberty when the sebaceous (oil) glands come to life – the glands are stimulated by male hormones produced by the adrenal glands of both males and females. Human skin has pores which connect to oil glands located under the skin. The glands are connected to the pores via follicles – small canals. These glands produce Sebum, an oily liquid and the sebum carries dead skin cells through the follicles to the surface of the skin. Pimples grow when these follicles get blocked, resulting in an accumulation of oil under the skin.

Skin specialists say that approximately three-quarters of 11 to 30 year-olds will get acne at some time. Acne can affect people of all races and ages. It most commonly affects adolescents and young adults, although there are people in their fifties who still get acne.

How does it work?

The skin has a wonderful ability to absorb light energy and utilises the energy to kick-start the cells into producing more cellular fuel (ATP), boosting their performance and allowing them to do what they do naturally, but at an enhanced rate.

Anti-ageing – Red light: Super-charged cells from exposure to red light therapy use this energy to prompt skin broblasts to produce increased collagen, elastin proteins and stimulate the body’s natural healing and rejuvenating processes.

Anti-acne – Blue light: Blue light therapy has powerful antibacterial properties for the treatment of acne. Exposure to blue light destroys the P. acnes bacteria and is excellent in the prevention of future breakouts and bacterial skin infections. It provides all the antibacterial benefits of sunlight without the harmful UV rays.
