How LED Light Therapy Can Help Combat Oily Skin and Acne
Oily skin and acne are super common skin issues for tons of people worldwide. With more folks looking for gentle, tech-savvy skincare fixes, LED light therapy has become a go-to solution. It’s backed by science and loved by dermatologists and beauty pros alike. It’s now a big part of professional skincare routines.
At Nubway, we make top-notch beauty and medical devices. Our LED light therapy systems blend science with real results. This article dives into how LED light therapy can help manage oily skin and acne. It also explains why Nubway’s devices are a favorite in professional settings.
Understanding Oily Skin and Acne
Too much oil from the skin’s glands is a major cause of acne. When oil mixes with dead skin cells, it clogs pores. This creates a perfect spot for bacteria like Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) to grow. The result? Inflammation, redness, and pimples.
While creams and pills can help, they often cause irritation or other issues. That’s where LED light therapy steps in. It’s a gentle yet powerful option.
How LED Light Therapy Works
LED (Light Emitting Diode) therapy uses specific light wavelengths to reach different layers of the skin. It sparks cell activity without causing pain or damage. For oily and acne-prone skin, blue and red light work best.
Blue Light (Around 415nm)
- Zaps Acne Bacteria: Blue light hits the skin’s top layers to kill P. acnes bacteria.
- Cuts Down Oil: It helps calm oil-producing glands, reducing greasy buildup.
Red Light (Around 630-660nm)
- Soothes Redness: Red light goes deeper to ease swelling and redness.
- Boosts Healing: It encourages collagen growth, smoothing skin and shrinking pores.
Combo Therapy
Using red and blue light together is a powerhouse move. It tackles both the bacteria causing acne and the redness it leaves behind.
Benefits of LED Light Therapy for Oily Skin and Acne

LED therapy helps dial back oil production. This keeps pores from clogging up. - Fights Bacteria

FAQ
Q: How does LED light therapy help with greasy skin?
A: Blue light therapy goes after your oil glands. It makes them less active. This cuts down on oil production. Less extra oil means fewer clogged pores. Clogged pores often lead to breakouts.
Q: Does LED light therapy work for every kind of acne?
A: It works best for mild to moderate acne that’s red and swollen. Like pimples or bumps. It might not work as well for really deep, painful cysts. It also might not be the best for blackheads or whiteheads. Those often need other help.
Q: How often should I try LED light therapy for oily skin and breakouts?
A: Usually, each session lasts 10 to 20 minutes. Do this about 2 or 3 times per week. Keep this up for 4 to 6 weeks to see improvements. After that, you might need keep-up treatments. Always follow what your device says. Or check with your skin doctor.
