Dr Kern Beauty Skin Acne Treatment light therapy lamp - RRP £199 .

Used, but in perfect working order (note the button falls off when you turn it - its always done this and just slips back on again). Complete with instructions and two sets of eye goggles, but no box! BeautySkin is a revolutionary new lightbox treatment for acne, spots and blemishes and problem skin. Studies show that blue and red light at certain wavelengths act together in clearing acne by combining anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory action and that phototherapy with a mixture of blue and red light is an effective treatment for acne vulgaris. Used on its own, or in combination with other skin treatments, BeautySkin has rapidly become a proven, safe and highly effective way to reduce troublesome and persistent skin problems. The lamp has six 15 watt fluorescent lamps three blue and three red lamps. BeautySkin is based on the positive effect that light of certain wavelengths has on human skin. Blue light penetrates the skin to the bacteria (proprionibacterium acne) which causes pimples and blackheads. The blue light has an antibacterial effect and prevents the further development of pimples and blackheads. The red light soothes skin inflammations and relaxes and stimulates the skin in a positive way. The combination and the simultaneous application of both colour types of light create the special effect of BeautySkin and works without UV radiation. As many of you know acne is a chronic disorder of the hair follicles and sebaceous gland characterized by black heads, pimple outbreaks, cysts, infected abscesses, and (sometimes) scarring. It is a remarkable device that provides red and blue light for the cosmetic treatment of mild to moderate acne. Those of us who have suffered excess production of oil from sebaceous glands causing the hair follicles generally on the face, chest and back to become plugged know the effect of acne on our lives. Pimples, papules, pustules and comedones, (black heads and white heads) cysts and infected abscesses can be cosmetically treated with the BeautySkin Light. Use for 15 minutes a day - in the privacy of your own home - and begin to see results in just 4 weeks although a longer use would be more beneficial.
