Similar to plants, the skin can absorb light and use it as energy. Light therapy, or LED (Light Emitting Diode) treatment has been around since the 1960s. NASA originally developed it for growing plants on shuttle missions. Later it was discovered to be beneficial in tissue regeneration and healing for astronauts. There are many benefits of this therapy including reducing the appearance of acne, decreasing oil production, minimizing the appearance of hyperpigmentation, temporary increase in blood circulation, and synthesis of collagen and elastin.

Demodex mites are parasites that are found living in and around the sebaceous glands and follicles. The name demodex comes from the Greek words, "Demo" meaning Lard, and "Dex" which means boring worm. There are 65 species of demodex, but only two live on humans—Demodex Brevis and Demodex Folliculorum. These mites are microscopic, averaging between 0.15 – 0.4 mm. The human face is the most heavily infested area of the body. They are most active at night, receding into the follicle during daylight or bright light. The lifespan of a demodex mite is several weeks.
