    Glossary Blue Light Therapy

    uses blue light to treat skin conditions and hair loss

    Blue Light Therapy, also known as Photodynamic Therapy (PDT), involves the use of blue light to treat various skin conditions, including acne, psoriasis, and certain types of skin cancer. The blue light works by activating photosensitive drugs applied to the skin, which then produce reactive oxygen species that target and destroy abnormal cells. This non-invasive treatment is valued for its precision and minimal side effects.
