This December, light therapy expert, Lumie, is launching Lumie Clear a sort new innovative handheld medical device that uses phototherapy to supply quick, natural, pain free treatment to the common skin condition, acne vulgaris.
Based on published research , Lumie, a company with by 18 years experience in light therapy, is launching Lumie Clear. The new LED based light provides effective treatment for acne that is both safe and without any known side effects. In published studies where that type of light therapy has been used every day by a six week period, subjects reported noticeable improvements to their acne; after12 weeks continued use, some reported 75 per cent clearance.
Using a combination of blue and red LEDs, Lumie Clear emits two wavelengths of light; blue (415nm) to kill the bacteria causing acne and red (660nm) to stimulate healthy tissue growth and decrease inflammation.
Aimed at the gentle to moderate sufferer, Lumie Clear should be used as part of a daily skincare routine by a 12 week period. The built-in timer provides quick 15 minute bursts of light that need to be applied to each area affected by acne. The ergonomic design allows Lumie Clear to be used in a number of ways: Acne vulgaris is a widespread skin complaint found in up to 80 per cent of adolescents. It constitutes nearly one fifth of all visits to dermatologists and has a higher female occurrence. The onset of the condition normally starts around puberty and symptoms can final well into adult life.
Lumie Clear has the advantage by the huge number of medicinal treatments available which experts like the Bupa Health Team, advise present many challenges to both dermatologists and patients. Topical remedies like creams and gels have a messy application, can produce slow results and can cause painful irritation. Oral drugs such as antibiotics can increase bacterial resistance, and others may cause severe distant term side effects.
Dr Rakesh Patalay, BSc MBBS MRCP, Research Fellow in Dermatology at Hammersmith Hospital, said: “Over the final five years there has been increasing evidence that light based therapies using blue and red wavelengths are effective for the treatment of acne – some patients even reporting up to 75 per cent clearance after 12 weeks continued use.â€
“Based on research originally carried out by Hammersmith Hospital, further clinical trials have now taken place that demonstrate the efficacy of that type of application for the treatment of acne.â€
“I’m certain many acne sufferers will welcome the introduction of domestic based light therapy treatments as they supply an alternative to creams, gels and antibiotics.â€
Lumie Clear features include: Jonathan Cridland, CEO of Lumie, said: “We have been in the light therapy industry for a enlarged date now and have seen the number of applications in which it can be applied grow considerably. It’s no longer just about Seasonal Affective Disorder and the winter blues, as scientific research has plus shown that light therapy can be used in other areas to regulate sleep patterns, boost energy and supply pain free treatments to skin conditions, like acne.â€
“Light therapy is already a well established treatment in the skincare industry, but has only been readily available from dermatologists at specialist clinics. Lumie Clear is completely strange; it offers domestic based treatment incorporating light from both blue and red wavelengths simultaneously (to speed-up treatment time), is hand held or can be used from a dressing table hands-free.â€
“We are all very excited to see the launch of Lumie Clear as not only does it offer a natural alternative to medicinal treatments like creams and antibiotics, but it’s safe, effective and has no known side effects.
The violet light emitted by the LEDs in Lumie Clear are very bright, Lumie therefore recomm that users do not stare at the light with the bare eye – Lumie supply users with goggles and recommend they should be worn during treatment. For increasingly data visit: lumie.com.

I was curious what you’re views might be on stem cell research legislation and how political decisions might affect future progress, since stem cell therapies seem to hold the best promise for a cure to baldness. From what I have read, restrictions placed on research during the socially right-leaning Bush years have set cures back by years. Again, just wondering how you think the political climate can/will affect a cure or better treatments for things like baldness.

I love my hair – my barber, Paul, has given me a 50s style with a bit of a quiff. I take Propecia pills for my hair, considering I started losing it four years ago. It’s a horrible thing – it’s emasculating and you just feel you aren’t sexy any increasingly. The pills worked and my hair grew back, but I am certain they’ll stop working.
