Light Therapy Products

There are many different light therapy products you can use at home. Light therapy can be used to treat a variety of conditions including seasonal affective disorder, insomnia, jet lag, acne and even aging skin. It all depends on what kind of light you use. By far the most popular use for light therapy is to treat SAD. SAD is a form of depression that only occurs during the winter months due to the lack of sunlight. It is often referred to as the winter blues


Treatment for SAD often includes sitting in front of a light box for a certain amount of time each day. There are full spectrum light boxes that you have to sit two feet away from in order to get the benefits. Then you will also find Blue Lux lights which can be used from most any distance as long as you are in the same room. Blue Lux lights also work in less time than traditional light boxes thanks to their innovative technology. Blue lights are not only used to treat SAD, but acne as well.

Blue light acne treatment works by killing the p. acnes bacteria that leads to breakouts. However because this bacteria grows and spreads quickly you will need several treatment sessions spaced fairly close together. Because of this you may want to forgo the dermatologist and get a home use unit. There are quite a few home use devices that can be used to treat acne. Some of them come with both blue and red lights. Red light helps rejuvenate and refresh skin and gives a more vibrant appearance. Amber lights are also commonly used for skin care purposes.

Some of the most popular light therapy products for home use are small devices that are quite affordable. One example is the light therapy alarm clock. This type of alarm clock uses full spectrum light of gradually increasing brightness to awaken you. This means you reap the rewards of full spectrum light from the moment you wake up in the morning. Full spectrum lightbulbs are another way to easily implement some of the benefits of light therapy in your household. These are just a couple low cost methods of trying out light therapy for yourself.You can purchase these products and many others on the Internet from various online retailers.
