Treatment route
Light therapy
At-home or in-clinic light-based options sometimes discussed for acne.
What it involves
Using LED or other light-based devices, or in-clinic treatments. Evidence and suitability vary. Usually compared alongside established topical routes rather than as a first step.
Who it may (and may not) suit
Pros
- A common starting point for many people
- Widely available
Cons
- May not suit more severe or persistent acne
- Results take time and consistency
Typical cost and timescale vary by country and provider. TODO: add structured cost/timescale fields once confirmed.
