At home red light therapy at 650nm, how effective is this when using it for popped pimples? does it help it heal? reduce redness, and swelling ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Acne & Light Therapy: Evidence for light therapy and lasers in acne vulgaris as of 2012 is not sufficient to recommend them. While light therapy appears to provide short term benefit, there is a lack of long term outcome data or data in those with severe acne.
