Abstract:The therapeutic application of blue light (380 to 500nm) has garnered considerable attention in recent years as it offers a non invasive approach for the management of prevalent skin conditions including acne vulgaris and atopic dermatitis. These conditions are often characterised by an imbalance in the microbial communities that colonise our skin, termed the skin microbiome. In conditions including acne vulgaris, blue light is thought to address this imbalance through the selective photoexcitation of microbia… Show more
