Blue Skin Light
How does Blue Skin Light work?
The human skin stashes an oily matter called sebum, to lubricate your skin and hair. An excessive amount of sebum on your skin can clog your pores. The bacteria in these clogged pores accumulates, which leads to infections, redness and swelling of the skin.
The reason for increased production of sebum has to do with an imbalance in hormones. This imbalance triggers the creation of acne. Acne can, therefore, occur during puberty, pregnancy, menopause, or when taking medication.
The My Dr. Müller Blue Skin Light lamps emit blue light at a wavelength of 415 nanometers. Blue light at this wavelength helps the skin to reduce its production of sebum and kills bacteria-causing infections. The result is a smoother skin, a more beautiful appearance and a higher self-esteem.

BENEFITS OF BLUE SKIN LIGHT
Effective in the Treatment of Acne
Blue Skin light at 415 nanometres results in a reduction in lesions. Blue light combines antibacterial and anti-inflammatory action and therefore is an effective means of treating acne vulgaris of mild to moderate severity.

Kills Bacteria
Bacteria are sensitive to light, and visible blue light at 415 nm at a high intensity is proven to be the best light available to kill bacteria that live on your skin.
