Marvel Mini Blue - Blue Light Therapy Treats Acne (Track This Article)

There is an exciting new treatment for acne. Now, you don't have to use chemicals which can be harmful to your health to treat acne. Blue light has been shown to effectively treat acne by killing the bacteria which cause acne. The Marvel Mini Blue device uses blue light to treat acne. Blue light is safe and painless.

How does the Marvel Mini Blue treat acne? Simply stated, is kills the bacteria that are known to cause acne. This bacteria is called the Propionobacterium Acnes, or P. Acnes bacteria. It turns out that these bacteria are sensitive to blue light which is in the narrow light spectrum of 400 to 430nm. Because the light is emitted in such a narrow band, skin damage and dryness are avoided. UV light, the damaging light, is not emitted by this device.

The blue light which kills the bacteria comes from LEDs. LEDs are light emitting diodes. These are solid state devices which have a very long life span, are immune to vibration and shock. They are different from regular light bulbs in that they can be made very small and energy efficient and they are made to emit light in the narrow band which allows them to effectively treat the acne without damaging your skin.

I bought the Marvel Mini Blue to test it out. Visually, it has the shape of a hair brush. The head has an array of these little LEDs which emit the blue light. You start the treatment by turning the unit on and applying it to the area which needs treatment. The unit has two light modes, pulsing and constant light. You alternate pulsing and constant light for 15 minutes in 3 minute intervals. The unit beeps every 3 minutes so you know when to change modes. Doing this twice a week is recommended. I tried the unit on a red bump that was starting to show. In about 2 days, the bump disappeared.

I looked into the Marvel Mini Blue exhaustively before I got one. There are many positive user testimonials online. The positive reviews and the FDA approval for blue light to treat acne are what swayed me the most. Acne medications have their place, but I like to avoid chemical treatments whenever possible. More and more doctors are discovering ways to apply light therapy to improve skin. This will result in many exciting breakthroughs which will benefit all of us.
