After reading Dr. Nicholas Perricone’s latest book, Dr. Perricone's 7 Secrets to Beauty, Health, and Longevity: The Miracle of Cellular Rejuvenation, I’m rethinking my view on non-laser light skin rejuvenation therapies. [By the way, in my opinion, this is Dr. Perricone’s best book yet.]
Lasers work by damaging the skin and shifting its natural repair mechanism into high gear. If Dr. Perricone is correct, non-laser light therapy works in an entirely different and entirely beneficial way. This would be truly exciting news for us Age Warriors.
If you’ve read any of Dr. Perricone’s books, you know that he believes inflammation to be at the root of skin aging. In fact, he says inflammation and skin aging “are so intrinsically linked by the processes of both that aging is sometimes described dermatologically as a chronic low grade inflammatory condition.”
He continues, “… light therapy, also known as phototherapy, is emerging as an important treatment for aging skin and inflammatory skin diseases such as acne”. He suspects non-laser light therapy works by combining antibacterial and anti-inflammatory action. This view is supported by a study reported in the August 2006 Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy using LED therapy to treat inflammatory acne.
