Abstract

One of the barriers to the widespread use of blue and red light for the treatment of acne has been the availability of a simple to use hands-free portable light delivery system which conforms to the tissue surface and delivers clinically effective dosage without impairing vision, while providing a hands-free wearable delivery system. Our team focused on the development of a printed micro LED flexible substrate to provide 450 nm and red 640 nm pulsed light in a flexible skin adhering re-useable light patch, powered by a small Bluetooth enabled controller.
