Abstract

The article reviews clinical results of color light therapy in the treatment of acne vulgaris with noncoherent optical radiation of blue and red light from light emitting diodes. Recently, color light therapy has become widespread among non-pharmacological methods of treating such a common multifactorial chronic polymorphic dermatosis as acne. Among the advantages of color therapy in the treatment of this pathology, it should be noted its good effectiveness, the absence or mild and transient side effects and the possibility of its using in patients with contraindications to antibiotic therapy.
