Lumie Clear - Light therapy for acne The Lumie Clear offers a safe, natural way to relieve mild to moderate acne. Red light soothes inflammation and blue light kills the acne bacteria. Suitable for treating both close-up (face) and hands-free (larger surfaces for example back). Noticeable results possible within four weeks.   Blue/red light Research on light therapy has found that specific parts of the spectrum are beneficial for people with acne: blue light with a short wavelength of 415 nm that attacks the Proprionbacterium acnes bacteria,(Propionibacterium acnes is a common bacteria on the skin. You can find them in the hair follicles and skin pores. These bacteria play an important role in acne) and 660 nm red light that soothes inflammation and promotes healing.   In collaboration with dermatology experts, Clear has been developed with both blue and red LED technology as an alternative to creams and prescription drugs, some of which have side effects or become less effective with long-term use. In clinical trials, combined blue and red light therapy produced noticeable results within four weeks. At the end of three months, testers' skin was significantly smoother with 58% fewer spots and 76% less inflamed – better than the drug treatment group.   Some medications can cause the skin to react to light (photosensitivity). If you are taking any medications, talk to your doctor before using Clear.   Treating the face If you want to treat a small area, perhaps your chin or forehead, hold Lumie Clear right next to your skin so that the light is most intense and effective. Connect and power on. The timer starts automatically and the light goes out after 15 minutes. Once your treatment time has elapsed, wipe the device with an alcohol wipe (or a damp cloth and warm water) to keep it clean and then it's ready to use again.   Treating the body Many light therapy devices for acne are only suitable for treating your face, but with Clear you can also treat other areas such as the shoulders or back. The light will be less intense, so you should use Clear for longer, about 30 minutes a day. When the light turns off, simply press the button for another 15 minutes. For longer sessions like this, it's best to use the adjustable stand so you can do other things while it acts on your acne.   Light therapy for your entire face Similarly, you can treat your entire face in one go, exposing your skin to less intense light for longer instead of focusing on individual areas. Use the included yellow safety glasses if you are treating your face remotely or when the light can shine into your eyes. For best results, use Clear and treat the affected area(s) every day. As the skin gets better, it can be used for maintenance. This gives persistent acne spots a chance to heal and prevents new inflammations.   Using Clear can put an end to long-term medication, the freedom to go outside without makeup, and feel confident again for the first time in years. As soon as you.
