40 years ago the hospital treated my acne with ultra-violet light but all I did was cook. Now a UK company called Lumie Innovations is about to offer a new at home light treatment using LED lights.

Seems the old hospital may have had the right idea but they got the frequency wrong. Apparently a combination of red and blue light of certain frequencies will kill the acne bacteria.

There is a Nov 14th article from Reuters that goes into some detail but as of Nov 16 the Lumie website doesn’t have any info.

We’ll be monitoring this story for new developments so be sure to sign up for our occasional emails and we’ll let you know when something is available.
