What is Blue Light Therapy?

Blue light therapy is a branch of alternative medicine that uses natural blue or violet light to cure, treat or prevent unwanted health issues including:

  • Acne
  • MRSA
  • Depression & SAD
  • Sleep Disorders
  • Periodontal disease
  • Neonatal jaundice
  • Liver issues

 

What Blue Light Therapy is NOT.

It is important to repeat that blue light therapy uses the natural power and qualities of light for its effectiveness. If some chemical is applied or ingested to make it work, that is no longer blue light therapy, that is called photodynamic therapy. The two are NOT the same. Blue light therapy is when blue light alone is having the healing, balancing or therapeutic effect.

The Benefits of Blue Light Therapy

Blue light benefits you in at least three major ways:

  1. It kills bad bacteria.
  2. It helps regulate mood and circadian rhythms.
  3. It supports your liver.

Blue light therapy is also:

  • 100% natural
  • drug free
  • chemical free
  • non-invasive (no needles or knives)
  • non-ablative (does not damage the skin)
  • painless (does not itch, burn or sting)
  • requires zero downtime
  • safe for all skin types
  • safe for all ages
  • no adverse short or long term side effects
  • easily self-administered in your own home
  • FDA approved

 What About Side Effects?

Blue light has been researched for decades and FDA approved for various treatments. There are no adverse side effects connected to the use of blue light therapy when it is used either short or long term. In study after study, no adverse side effects have been reported.

Consider the following two examples from the field of light therapy to drive home this point:

    1. Blue light therapy for Neonatal Jaundice: Around the globe, newborn babies are treated for jaundice every day using blue light. This is shone on the most delicate and tender example of human skin, and yet no side effects occur.
    2. Blue light therapy for Crigler Najjar Syndrome: Patients with Crigler Najjar Syndrome need to spend extended amounts of time under blue light every day, for life. However, despite the quantity of hours spent under blue light on a daily basis (typically 10 hours or more), no long term side effects are reported.

The only valid risk of blue light therapy is over exposure of blue light to the eyes, or eye damage from the high glare of some devices. For these reasons, most products come with eye protection included, and you should always wear it.
