It is known that acne improves considerably after exposure to sunlight, due to the antibacterial action and the effect of UV rays on the immune system.
For several years, UV acne phototherapy was the treatment of choice for active acne, but later it proved to be a factor in photocarcinogenesis and photoaging.
Since then, various wavelengths have been used to combat acne and until recently, light sources such as red/blue light, intense pulsed light (IPL) and laser have been used to treat acne.
