The working principle of LED blue light phototherapy
Photodynamic therapy is a treatment method that utilizes light to activate exogenously administered or endogenously formed photosensitizers. In this process, when the photosensitizer is exposed to light activation, it generates singlet oxygen and reactive radicals, leading to the destruction of bacteria.
The pathogenesis of acne involves a Gram-positive bacterium known as Propionibacterium acnes. This bacterium is associated with the development of acne. As part of its normal metabolic processes, P. acnes synthesizes certain photosensitizing compounds such as protoporphyrin and coproporphyrin. These endogenous porphyrins achieve optimal photoexcitation when irradiated with light at wavelengths ranging from 407 to 470 nanometers (nm), resulting in the generation of singlet oxygen and reactive radicals, subsequently causing bacterial destruction. These wavelengths correspond to the blue light range within the visible spectrum.
LED Blue Light Wavelength Selection:
The LED blue light lies in its wavelength spectrum, spanning approximately 380 to 500 nanometers. It is well known that LED Therapy using light energy in the blue light range of the electromagnetic spectrum (400 nm-500 nm) is very effective in treating mild to moderate acne vulgaris.
However, shorter wavelengths in the blue range of light energy, closer to the ultraviolet range, and specifically 415 nm, have been shown in clinical studies to increase the likelihood of triggering hyperpigmentation. The fundamental mechanism of action seems to be that light energy directly targets melanocytes in the skin to stimulate melanogenesis pathways. On these rare occasions, the
darker the skin the more severe and the more long-lasting the hyperpigmentation, particularly with Fitzpatrick Type III and IV skin types. Nevertheless, hyperpigmentation is transient and typically resolves in 2 weeks to 2 months.
Similar to the depth of penetration, the longer the wavelength of light energy, the less severe and shorter-lasting the hyperpigmentation. Clinical studies indicate that the possible triggering of hyperpigmentation decreases rapidly in wavelengths longer than 465nm. Accordingly, skin care professionals and their clients/patients may be better served by the use of LED devices that emit blue light energy closer to 465 nm, which is clinically proven to be both effective in treating acne vulgaris, and less likely to trigger hyperpigmentation.
The Potent Potpourri of LED Blue Light Benefits:
In its initial applications, blue LED light was harnessed to address psoriasis and inflammatory skin conditions, eradicate bacteria, and provide relief for sensitive skin. In the contemporary realm of skincare, this specific wavelength has become the preferred choice for individuals with acne-prone and oily skin. A significant advantage of blue light lies in its capacity to curtail sebaceous gland activity, a pivotal action that aids in the removal of surplus sebum responsible for pore blockage and blemishes. This noteworthy attribute can be effectively harnessed through the utilization of HIME SAMA Miracle STAR's blue light feature.
Here, we highlight a range of substantiated benefits stemming from blue LED light therapy:

Part 4: Maintaining a Positive Mindset and Healthy Lifestyle
Lastly, remember that maintaining a positive mindset and healthy lifestyle is equally important. Stress, lack of sleep, and unhealthy habits can affect the severity of acne. Adequate sleep, exercise, and seeking support will contribute to overall health and skin condition improvement.
Treating acne requires patience and consistent effort. With appropriate daily care and professional guidance, you can gradually overcome the troubles of acne and regain healthy skin, showcasing a confident smile!
When LED light sources are used at the correct intensity and frequency, they emit photons of light energy that are absorbed by specific chromophores in the tissue. This process stimulates mitochondrial activity and the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), leading to improved blood circulation and tissue oxygenation. As a result, cell proliferation is enhanced, and the production of anti-aging enzymes is boosted. Over time, environmental factors and aging can slow down cell replication and deplete collagen production. Unprotected sun exposure, smoking, and dietary factors can accelerate this depletion. However, infrared light therapy has been clinically proven to stimulate cell renewal, enhance circulation and cell oxygenation, counteract the natural aging process and promote a visibly glowing and healthier-looking complexion.
The HIME SAMA Miracle STAR LED Light Therapy Face Mask combines red (630nm) and near-infrared (820nm) light wavelengths to kickstart collagen production within the skin. These restorative benefits penetrate deep beneath the skin's surface, providing both instant and long-lasting transformative results.
The following is the feedback from the user of Miracle STAR. The main demand of this customer is to solve the acne problem, but during her use, it also improved the fine lines on her forehead:
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: What kind of results can I expect and how soon will I see them?
A: The response to specific wavelengths of light may vary among individuals, and the timeframe for visible improvements depends on your desired goals. However, with daily use, you can typically expect to see noticeable improvements within 8 to 12 weeks. It is recommended to take "before and after" pictures to track your progress. Smoother lines, improved skin tone, and increased firmness can be observed after 10-12 weeks, with continued positive results over time. For optimal results, a minimum of 12 weeks of daily use is recommended. Remember, the results are cumulative, and consistent daily treatment is key to achieving visible improvements.
Q: At what age should I start using LED light therapy, and when is the best time?
A: LED light therapy can benefit individuals of all ages. When it comes to anti-aging, it is advisable to focus on prevention rather than correction. Therefore, incorporating red light therapy, such as the one provided by the Miracle STAR, into your skincare routine in your early twenties can help protect collagen for long-term healthy and youthful skin.
Q: Where does the Miracle STAR mask fit into my skincare routine?
A: Begin by thoroughly cleansing your face to ensure no residue or barriers are present, allowing for maximum light penetration. You can integrate the Miracle STAR mask into your current skincare routine after cleansing and exfoliating your skin. It can be used during the day or at night. After the 10-minute treatment is complete, follow up with your choice of topical skincare products.
]]>Red light and near-infrared (NIR) light are both part of the electromagnetic spectrum, which includes all types of radiation that travels through space, including visible light, radio waves, X-rays, and more. Red light has a wavelength range of approximately 620-750 nanometers (nm) and is visible to the human eye, while near-infrared light has a longer wavelength than red light, ranging from around 750 nm to 1.4 micrometers (µm) and is not visible to the human eye.
Red light and near-infrared (NIR) light work differently due to their different wavelengths and energy levels.
Red light (wavelength 620nm-750nm) penetrates through the surface of the human tissue, with about 80% of its energy being absorbed within the first 2cm. The energy of red light has a significant impact on the stimulation of mitochondria, increasing ATP production and thus enhancing fibroblast activity. This leads to increased cell renewal, surface circulation, and anti-inflammatory discharge.
Near-infrared light (wavelength 750nm-1400nm) penetrates deeper into the tissue than red light. About 50% penetrates up to 8cm and decreases to less than 1% at 20cm (NASA study). It is well known that infrared energy can heat tissue, and its effect has been proven to be useful for therapeutic pain management. For cosmetic applications, IR stimulates the NaK+ pump, increasing cell membrane permeability, promoting cell pH balance, and enhancing nutrient absorption while eliminating waste by-products.
The main difference between the two is that near-infrared light penetrates deeper into the body than red light, which means its therapeutic energy can enter and benefit cells that red light cannot enter. When red and infrared energy are used together, biological effects (such as an increase in collagen and elastic fiber bundles) are increased. Nowadays, many phototherapy devices emit multiple wavelengths of red or near-infrared light, and some even combine red and near-infrared wavelengths in one device.
For some skin conditions, some evidence suggests that red light may be more beneficial than near-infrared light. For all practical purposes, a combination of near-infrared or red light and near-infrared light may be ideal.
Red light and near-infrared light have a range of benefits, depending on the application. In medical treatments, red light has been used to stimulate cellular activity and reduce inflammation, and NIR light has been used to provide information about physiological parameters in medical imaging.
As the combination of the high degree of penetration in the skin and absorption by respiratory chain components, light in the spectralrange from 600 to 1400 nm is helpful for promoting wound healing, tissue repair, and skin rejuvenation. Studies have shown that red and near-infrared light in this wavelength range can significantly reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and rough skin, increase collagen density in the dermis, and broadband polychromatic PBM showed no advantage over the red-light-only spectrum. The function of LED red light is much more powerful. There is an "optical window" in skin tissue covering the red and near-infrared light wavelengths, where the effective tissue penetration of light is maximized. According to reports, it has many health benefits and broad application prospects in the medical field. For example, LED 660 nm irradiation promoted anti-proliferative activities through .autophagy in breast cancer origin cells. These findings have suggested that LED 660 nm might be developed and employed as an alternative cancer treatment method in the future. In addition, red light is used frequently to improve androgenetic alopecia, and near-infrared light also can be used to improve depressive disorder.
Transform your skin with the HIME SAMA Miracle STAR Light Therapy Mask and experience the many benefits of red and infrared light therapy. This cutting-edge device is an exceptional ally for anti-aging and anti-acne treatments.
In its first mode, the mask combines red light therapy and infrared therapy to promote collagen production and reduce inflammation.

"It's been bothering me"
Do you feel that you have tried almost all methods to get rid of your acne, but still see blemishes? Don't despair. You can try the blue light therapy. Before that, we need to understand what acne is, the causes of acne, and some conventional treatment methods.
Acne is a common skin disease. Excessive oil secretion, clogged pores with "sticky" skin cells, bacteria and inflammation. In general, the face is the most acne-prone area. Of course, it will also appears in other parts of your body, such as back, chest, and shoulders. The most common treatment for acne is not only medications, but also other procedures (such as laser and light therapy). In life, acne may bring you worries, unconfident and depressed, but remember that you are not the only one. Please see the following set of data:
In the United States, up to 50 million people are affected by acne each year. Acne is one of the most common skin diseases in America. 1
Acne usually starts in puberty and affects many teenagers and young adults.
Approximately 85% of people aged 12 to 24 have at least mild acne. 2
Adult acne?
It is generally believed that acne only appears in people around 15-25, and gradually disappears with age. But adults, especially adult women, 30-50 years old, are also very common. In most cases, the factors that cause adolescent acne are the same as adult acne. Although the specific factors that lead to new or recurrence in this population are not yet known, it is generally believed that hormonal fluctuations, genetics, cosmetics, diet, tobacco use, and stress can all cause acne outbreaks. Some medicines can also cause acne. These include corticosteroids, anabolic steroids, and lithium. The data of research shows that:
At any stage of your life, acne may develop and can last into your 30s and 40s. 3-4
Acne in adults is increasing, affecting up to 15% of women. 3-4
Common acne treatments
I know that a lot of treatments have been tried by you. From mild detergents to face cream masks, to moderate topical over-the-counter medications, and finally to severe prescription medications. You will also check out many tips on acne skin care. Even inquire about dietary precautions.
Your healthcare provider or dermatologist will prescribe different over-the-counter or prescription drugs based on the severity of your condition, but they all come with varying degrees of side effects.
Salicylic acid, only effective for mild acne
Retinol gel, topical retinoids can make the skin red and dry
Benzoyl peroxide, the common side effect is skin irritation (dryness).
Azelaic acid, its adverse reactions are local mild erythema and tingling.
Retinoids (vitamin A derivatives), oral administration is not recommended for pregnant women or breastfeeding women to use them, external use will have side effects such as skin redness, dryness and itching.
Antibiotics, they can be used to treat more severe acne, but increase the risk of skin bacteria becoming resistant to antibiotics. In addition, many oral antibiotics for acne can not be used if you are pregnant.
Hormonal drugs, not to mention
Phototherapy
Whether you are a continuous scrolling user on Instagram, or just follow the latest and coolest skin care innovation blog, you may have heard something about LED skin therapy. Since the 1960s, these lights have been used. However, using these lights for skin care has only recently become popular. In the past, due to the high price, phototherapy could only be performed in the office of a dermatologist or beautician, but with the emergence of effective and affordable home phototherapy equipment, phototherapy has become a non-toxic, non-invasive and harmless home treatment method. (Used by celebrities)
c, Anti-inflammatory properties, additional skin regeneration and wound healing effects.

]]>These masks are having incredible success and this is mainly due to their effectiveness. But there is one small disadvantage in buying this treatment: it’s very expensive. It is only because it’s something new in the market, or LED light masks are actually made of expensive materials and through complicated processes that increase their price?
In this article, you’re going to find out why light therapy masks are so expensive.
If you browse through the different marketplaces, you’ll find light therapy masks at the most different prices: from as low $25 to as expensive as $5,000. This can be confusing, so let’s make it clear.
A $25 light therapy mask can hardly be a good and effective mask. LED masks must feature a high number of micro LED bulbs, and be provided with at least 3 different light colors (each color has a different effect on your skin). You can hardly have these features in a $25 mask.
On the other hand, there is no need to spend $5000 on a face mask.
Masks like the HIME SAMA masks, $199, look the most reasonable: they are quality made, have long-lasting micro LED bulbs installed within the mask, and there are 7 light colors available.
Light therapy uses light in specific wavelengths to increase blood circulation on the surface of the skin and promote collagen production.
As you may know, our collagen production reduces with the age and it’s important to promote and stimulate it to treat and prevent the sign of time on our skin.
LED bulbs are responsible for the emission of light in different colors (different wavelengths) for light therapy; until recently, this treatment was only available at the dermatologist’s office, but today the development of skincare has brought light therapy masks. You can switch them on and apply them to your face for your daily skincare routine.
Why are they so expensive?
Light therapy masks are different from the face masks we were used to. Commons face masks are disposable, and that’s why you can turn up your nose in front of a $200 face mask like the HIME SAMA LED mask.
But light therapy face masks are durable devices. The highest the quality of the mask structure and LED bulbs, the higher the durability. Remaining on the example of the HIME SAMA LED mask, which we recommend for both quality and price, it is provided with 190 micro LEDs that feature 7 different light colors. It means that you can use this mask for 7 different treatments.
We should think of LED masks as light therapy home devices rather than simple face masks because, at the end of the day, it’s what they are. Now that you’re aware of that, you can better understand why light therapy is so expensive and why it can still be worth it to spend $199 on one.
]]>The LED mask may make you look like a Transformer for a while, but the result is worth it. You may be familiar with the professional LED light therapy of a dermatologist, but “LED masks are the latest technology in home remedies for acne treatment and rejuvenation,” said Shauna Diggs, MD, a dermatologist who works with Lumenis Laser Aesthetics. "These masks use visible light beams to reduce bacteria, reduce inflammation and improve cell activity, increase skin elasticity, and activate collagen."
Looking back at the past and present of phototherapy, it has been in existence for 160 years.

The realization of green LED
After the invention of the red LED, Logan et al. realized the green LED by adding nitrogen to the gap p-n junction. Through natural light.
In 1989-1990s,
Shuji Nakamura·Isarmu Akasaki Hiroshi Amano
Discovery of Blue LED
He is a Japanese professor. After developing the first blue LED, he laid the foundation for blue semiconductor lasers. He continued to develop blue LEDs and won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2014.
In 2020s,
NASA
Based on its various effects, expand from NASA to LED applications in the medical field
When studying how to grow crops in a spacecraft with artificial light sources, it was found that the red LED wavelength promotes intracellular energy metabolism, thereby activating plant growth and photosynthesis, and irradiating specific wavelength LEDs can double cell growth, thereby accelerating wound healing. This has led to the research on LED as a medical technology that helps skin cell regeneration, paving the way for its application in various medical fields.
NOW
HIME SAMA offers an innovative paradigm for LED devices.
With the release of devices that use LEDs to produce various effects, LEDs have naturally become a part of people's lives. The infinite possibilities and influence of LED from beauty to medical field mean that there are exciting developments waiting in the future.
]]>The severity of skin lesions determines the severity of acne, which can be divided into three degrees of grade IV acne:
Whitehead acne: The mouth of the hair follicle is accumulated and blocked by keratinocytes and filled with sebum to form white keratotic papules, covered with epidermis on the surface, which is not connected to the outside world. This is mild acne, that is, grade I acne.
Blackheads: The sebum that clogs the pores is directly oxidized when exposed to the air, forming blackheads. This is mild acne, grade I acne.
Papules: small, red bumps, this is moderate acne, that is, grade II acne.
Pustules: Pustules appear on the top of the papules. This is moderate acne, that is, grade III acne.
Nodules: Hard, painful lumps on the skin surface. This is severe acne, or grade IV acne.
Cyst: Pain under the surface of the skin and a lump with pus to the touch. This is severe acne, that is, grade IV acne.
Common acne treatments
Over-the-counter medication
Soap. Using soap can help remove bacteria and help treat Ance, but it does not remove acne. No more than twice a day. Excessive use can harm the skin or cause other skin problems.
sulfur. Sulfur is one of many over-the-counter acne treatments, but it smells bad and temporarily discolors the skin. And the benefits are minimal.
Detergent. Cleansers that contain glycolic acid, benzoyl peroxide, sulfur orsalicylic acid.
Benzoyl peroxide. Peroxide can slowly release new ecological oxygen and benzoic acid after topical application. It has the effects of killing Propionibacterium acnes, dissolving acne and astringent. This is why it has become one of the topical antibacterial drugs of choice for inflammatory acne. Continuous use will prevent acne from appearing, and will not affect the production of sebum or the shedding of skin hair follicle cells. Can not stop using. Face creams, lotions, cleansing pads, and gels all contain this. But benzoyl peroxide can bleach fabrics and cause dry skin.
Salicylic acid. Helps improve abnormal cell shedding.
Retinol gel or cream. It has a therapeutic effect on acne that begins to form under the skin, and the effect can be seen in 8-12 weeks. But it will lead to an increase in renewal cells, which will get worse before it gets better.
LED blue light treatment. Skin cells can absorb more light energy in a shorter time, thereby speeding up the elimination of acne and the skin healing process. The blue wavelength kills the bacteria that cause acne, while reducing inflammation, acne and redness associated with acne. The reduction of lesions and the overall improvement of skin appearance can usually be seen within only a few weeks. By eradicating bacteria under the skin, blue light therapy can also prevent future outbreaks. Generally speaking, LED light therapy is quite safe and does not cause burning or pain to the skin. LED therapy should not be used for individuals who have taken certain medications(such as Accutane), or who are allergic to sunlight. Patients with skin diseases should consult a dermatologist before using LED light therapy.
Commonly used topical medications
Tretinoin, topical tretinoin is the first choice for external use of mild to moderate acne. These drugs mainly regulate the differentiation of epidermal keratinocytes, improve hair follicle sebaceous duct keratinization, dissolve micro-acne and acne, and anti-inflammatory. They also have the effects of controlling post-inflammatory pigmentation of acne and improving acne scars. The combined use of tretinoin drugs and anti-inflammatory and antibacterial drugs can increase the skin permeability of related drugs. Topical retinoids often cause mild skin irritation such as flaking, tightness, burning and local erythema, but it fades with time of use.
Antibiotics, including erythromycin, clindamycin, fusidic acid cream, etc. Since topical antibiotics are likely to induce resistance to Propionibacterium acnes, it is not recommended for use alone. Recommended for use with benzoyl peroxide or topical retinoids
Azelaic acid can reduce the flora of the skin surface, hair follicles and sebaceous glands, and in particular has an inhibitory effect on Propionibacterium acnes and a pimple-dissolving effect.It is effective for all kinds of acne.Can be formulated as 15%-20% cream for external use. The adverse reactions are local mild erythema and tingling.
Commonly prescribed medications
Systemic treatment is generally used for patients with moderate to severe acne or ineffective external medications. Some systemic drugs can cause fetal malformations. Therefore, women during pregnancy should avoid systemic treatments. All systemic treatments require medication under the guidance of a doctor.
Antibiotics, the preferred systemic treatment for patients with moderate to severe acne. But antibiotics can easily cause resistance to P. acnes and non-P. acnes. Therefore, standardizing the selection and course of antimicrobial drugs, or combining with other therapies, is very important to improve the efficacy and prevent drug resistance.
Isotretinoin A, the most effective anti-acne drug at present, can be taken as soon as possible for acne patients without contraindications. It can reduce oil secretion, inhibit the formation of abnormal keratinization and blackheads, and inhibit Propionibacterium acnes. It has a good effect on nodular, cystic, and convergent acne. The side effects should be paid attention to when medication, including dry lips, desquamation, and elevated blood lipids. Such drugs also have a clear teratogenic effect. Female patients should be strictly contraceptive during the first month, during the treatment, and within 3 months after the treatment.
Oral contraceptives: Contraceptives are generally composed of estrogen and progesterone. Estrogen and progesterone can fight against androgens, and can also directly act on the sebaceous glands to reduce sebum secretion. Such drugs are only used for women with acne.
Spironolactone: It has a mild antiandrogenic effect and is not suitable for long-term use by male acne patients.
Glucocorticoids: suitable for severe nodular acne, acne conglobata, cystic acne inflammation and fulminant acne. For severe nodular or cystic acne, intralesional injection of glucocorticoids can be used. At the same time, it should be noted that long-term high-dose glucocorticoids should be avoided to avoid adverse reactions, including hormonal acne or folliculitis, which complicates the condition.
]]>Please don't worry about it if you have acne problem that is the most common skin condition in people. It is estimated that 80% of people between the ages of 11 and 30 will have at least mild acne, and most people will be affected by it at some stage in their lives.
Either way, many people find acne annoying or embarrassing. To reduce acne and its damage to the skin, follow the tips below.
Wash your face after sweating and twice a day
Washing more than twice a day will irritate the skin and make acne worse because the skin the so sensitive. The dermatologist recommends that you wash your face in the following situations: waking up, preparing to go to bed, and after sweating.
Clean your face gently.
Because the trauma of an acne outbreak may worsen acne or cause scarring. Please use your hands when washing your face, because any terry cloth or other scrubbing materials may cause acne breakage.
Use skin care and cosmetic products that will not cause acne.
Choose a cleanser specially formulated for acne. These products usually contain salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide to help clear acne. But some of these may still cause acne in a small number of people, so you may need to try different products before you can find a right one that won't make you acne. Check the pH of the cleanser, ideally it should be slightly acidic (4-7), because it is the normal pH for healthy skin-alkaline cleansers will change the pH of the skin over time, destroying your Moisturizes the barrier and interferes with the growth of friendly skin bacteria.
Never pick. Picking can cause further inflammation and possible scarring.
Ejecting a pimple seems to be the fastest way to clear it, but ejecting it Incorrect operation possible actually cause inflammation due to bacterial infection make things worse. Every time it is touched, picked or popped, it will make acne worse
Wash pillowcases, hats and other items that come in contact with acne-prone skin.
Dead skin cells, bacteria and dirt can accumulate on these surfaces, clogging pores. Washing things that come into contact with acne-prone skin can prevent this. Changing sheets every week and pillowcases two or three times a week will help.
