Red and Blue Light Therapy for Acne, Bee Stings, Bug Bites...and a December Product Release!

by Sandra Burkhart

Light therapy has come a long way from sunbathing in sunlight to targeted, evidence-informed treatments. A high-quality at-home device that combines blue, red, and infrared wavelengths offers a versatile approach to a range of common skin concerns. In this post, we’ll explore how red, infrared, and blue wavelengths of light work, practical treatment protocols for acne, bee stings, bug bites, cuts, and wounds, and how to use the device for broader skin health and recovery. Plus, we have an exciting new product debut dropping in December, you don't want to miss!

Why Multiple Wavelengths Matter

Different wavelengths of light penetrate the skin to varying depths and trigger distinct biological responses. Utilizing multiple wavelengths has been proven to be more effective than a single wavelength alone. Below are more details on each wavelength of light:

Blue light (around 420–470 nm): Primarily targets P. acnes bacteria on the skin’s surface, reducing inflammation and bacterial load that contribute to acne.
Red light (around 620–700 nm): Penetrates more deeply to stimulate collagen production, improve blood flow, and reduce inflammation.
Near to mid-infrared light (around 800–900+ nm): Penetrates the deepest, promoting cellular energy (ATP) production, accelerating tissue repair, and supporting wound healing and pain relief.

A device with multiple wavelengths allows you to tailor sessions to the specific issue at hand, combining benefits for antimicrobial action, anti-inflammatory effects, and tissue repair.

How to Treat Common Issues with the Light Therapy Resource 5-Wavelength Handheld Torch

Note: Always follow the device’s user manual and consult a healthcare professional for persistent or severe conditions. The guidance below is for general, non-serious scenarios.

Acne (Mild to Moderate)

Target: Bacterial load, inflammation, and premature healing of inflamed pimples.
What to use: Blue light primarily; red light can be added for anti-inflammatory and collagen-boosting support.
Protocol (daily or every other day if sensitive skin):

  1. Cleanse the skin and dry thoroughly.
  2. Apply blue light for 3 consecutive minutes directly over the affected area. Hold the device directly against the skin and move slowly to cover the lesion.
  3. Follow up with 3 minutes of red/infrared light to help reduce inflammation and support deeper healing.
  4. Frequency: Daily sessions as needed, up to 3 times per day. If you notice irritation or worsening symptoms, reduce duration or frequency.
Bee Stings and Bug Bites

Target: Localized inflammation, itching, and pain; promote faster resolution.
What to use: Blue light to prevent any superficial infection; red/infrared light to reduce pain and inflammation, and for deeper tissue healing.
Protocol:

  1. Clean the area with mild soap and water; pat dry.
  2. 3 minutes of blue light over the affected area to reduce itching and the risk of infection.
  3. Follow up with 3 minutes of red light over the affected area to reduce swelling and discomfort.
  4. Frequency: 1–3 sessions daily until symptoms subside.
Minor Cuts and Abrasions

Target: Accelerate wound closure, reduce inflammation, and support collagen formation.
What to use: Red/infrared light for healing and inflammation reduction; blue light to improve healing and reduce infection and bacterial contamination.
Protocol:

  • Clean the wound gently; allow to air-dry if possible.
  • 3 minutes of blue light if the wound shows signs of surface bacteria or if you want antimicrobial benefits.
  • Follow up with 3 minutes of red light over and around the wound site to stimulate healing and blood flow.
  • Frequency: 1–3 sessions daily; avoid disrupting scab formation. Stop once the wound is closed and healing is complete.
Small Wounds and Scrapes

Target: Quick recovery and reduced risk of infection with antimicrobial support.
What to use: Blue light to prevent any superficial infection; red/infrared light to reduce pain and inflammation, and for deeper tissue healing.
Protocol:

  1. Clean, dry skin.
  2. Blue light for 3 minutes to address surface bacteria.
  3. Red light for 3 minutes to promote healing and reduce inflammation.
  4. Frequency: Daily until the area has healed.

Practical Tips for Using the 5-Wavelength Torch

Consistency is key: Daily or near-daily use yields the best results for skin healing and acne management.
Distance matters: Hold the device directly against the skin when possible. At greater distances from the skin, light intensity will decrease.
Duration: Start with shorter sessions (2 minutes per wavelength) and gradually increase to the recommended totals as your skin adjusts. The device automatically shuts off after 3 minutes.
Skin safety: Always patch-test on a small area of skin, especially if you have sensitive skin or a history of photosensitivity. If you’re pregnant, nursing, or taking photosensitive medications, consult a clinician before use.
Device care: Clean the treatment surface after use with a gentle, non-abrasive cleaner. Ensure the device is off and cool before cleaning.

Real-World Benefits and What to Expect

Acne: Reduced inflammatory lesions, less redness, and a calmer complexion with consistent treatment.
Bee stings / Bug bites: Faster relief from itching and swelling, with accelerated local healing.
Cuts and wounds: Faster closure and reduced scar formation due to enhanced collagen synthesis and improved microcirculation.

Remember, light therapy is a complementary approach. It should not replace medical treatment for serious wounds, infections, or conditions requiring professional care.
