Combination blue (415 nm) and red (633 nm) LED phototherapy in the treatment of mild to severe acne vulgaris
Study Summary
24 mild to severe acne patients with Fitzpatrick skin types II-V received 415 nm blue at one session alternating with 633 nm red at the next. Schedule was 2x/week, 3 days apart, 20 min. per session, 48 J/cm^2 415 nm or 96 J/cm^2 633 nm. All subjects had mild microabrasions before treatment. 22 patients were assessed, 2 dropped out. Researchers objectively counted a 46% lesion count reduction at 4 weeks, and an 81% lesion count reduction at 12 weeks.
