Light Therapy May Be the Answer to Skin Woes

Greg and Audra talk about light therapy.  Red and blue light therapy is designed to kill bacteria, prevent breakouts and reduce the appearance of aging.   The red light is used for wrinkles and tightening.  Some studies show it may help with hair loss, wound healing and bone density issues.  The blue LEDs are often used to treat acne, targeting the  sebaceous glands and bacteria issues.  The two lights are often used together.  In-office applications use more powerful LED bulbs. Treatments typically start at $200.  At-home masks can help keep your skin in shape with consistent use.  These at-home devices have  become popular on Amazon.  The top rated wands range from $50-$80.  The mask start at about that same price.  Audra has the Neutrogena light therapy acne mask, which has both the red and blue lights.
