Light Therapy Colors: Blue Light Therapy
How Blue Light Therapy Works 
Blue light therapy is known for its cool and soothing properties, making it the opposite of red light therapy. Blue light penetrates the skin at a wavelength of 410 nm, which is closer to UV light, incorporating its antibacterial properties. This makes blue light therapy effective for a variety of skin conditions and overall health benefits.

Blue Light Therapy for Acne
Many people struggle with acne and turn to harsh treatments like drugs, chemicals, and laser procedures, which can be expensive and damaging to sensitive skin. Blue light therapy offers a natural and effective alternative. 
Using the Visum Light blue LED therapy, you can maximize your body’s natural cellular function to fight bacteria and inflammation without the side effects of other treatments. Blue light therapy helps:
- Kill Acne-Causing Bacteria: Targets bacteria such as P. acnes in the pores.
- Regulate Oil Production: Helps control sebum production naturally.
- Stimulate Cell Growth and Repair: Penetrates deeply to clear and rejuvenate the skin.
The specific wavelengths used in blue light PBM are between 405 and 420 nanometers, different from UV light, and are absorbed by the bacteria in the pores. This bacteria produces porphyrin, a molecule that helps kill the bacteria, clearing up the skin.
Consistently using the Visum Light for 15 minutes a day can help treat and prevent mild to moderate acne cases, leaving your skin clearer and healthier.
Blue Light and the Pineal Gland
Blue light also plays a significant role in activating the pineal gland and influencing the throat chakra. The throat chakra governs communication, hearing, listening, self-expression, and decision-making. Conditions such as sore throats, laryngitis, and speech difficulties can benefit from blue light therapy.
