I stumbled across a Mamamia article titled, Pregnancy acne: Why some women get pregnancy acne and exactly how to get rid of it and thought it would be a great topic to expand upon.
Plus, many of our friends have been opening up about their struggles with acne during pregnancy.
We always hear about the ‘pregnant glow’ and this magical time of life while a little human is growing inside of us is supposed to be so special.
The reality is, pregnancy can be totally confidence-shattering even for the most self-assured woman.
So just how do I reduce these painful, red and inflamed pustules?
Rollard suggests AHA peels, extractions, microdermabrasion and you guessed it, LED light therapy.
"A great treatment is also LED light therapy, in particular, the blue light therapy to kill any build up of bacteria, but also infrared light to help with deep cysts."
Essentially, blue light targets the acne-causing bacteria beneath the surface of your skin, this bacteria is very sensitive to the blue light and the light works to shut down the bacteria’s metabolism, effectively killing it.
Put simply, blue LED light therapy kills acne-causing bacteria.
Which means less acne, pimples, painful cysts and clearer skin.
Of course, if you’re pregnant, LED light therapy should be cleared with your doctor before trying it.
