LightStim for Acne Gen 3
Cordless blue and red LED light therapy that targets acne-causing bacteria, calms existing breakouts and restores your skin’s healthy appearance — in just 3 minutes per area, without harsh chemicals.
The Science
How LightStim for Acne Gen 3 Works
LightStim delivers light energy the same way plants absorb sunlight — directly into the skin cells that need it. Two precisely calibrated wavelengths work together to target the cause of acne and calm the inflammation it leaves behind.
The Root Cause
Acne is primarily caused by C. acnes bacteria multiplying inside blocked pores. Most topical treatments work on the surface — but the bacteria live beneath it. LightStim’s blue LED light reaches into the follicle to kill C. acnes bacteria at the source, interrupting the cycle of breakouts rather than just treating the visible result.
LightStim has advanced NASA’s LED technology, developing MultiWave® Patented Technology to emit multiple wavelengths at the same time — giving skin a clearer, more radiant complexion in a single treatment.
Professional Strength at Home
LightStim LED light therapy devices have been used and recommended by dermatologists and estheticians for over 25 years. Gen 3 brings that same professional-strength treatment home — now fully cordless.
FDA Cleared for mild to moderate inflammatory acne. Suitable for all skin types. Non-invasive and painless, with no purge, no peeling and no recovery time.
2-year limited warranty from LightStim. No cartridges or LED replacements.
Gen 3 Engineering
Clinical Result: Physicians observed visible improvement in 100% of participants within 2–4 weeks of regular use. Proper use, diet, hormonal activity, environment and hygiene all play a part in your results.
What It Does
Clear Skin. Clinically Proven.
Every benefit comes from light energy working at the cellular level — targeting the actual cause of acne, not just the visible result.
Kills Acne-Causing Bacteria
Blue LED light at 417nm kills C. acnes bacteria inside the follicle — the root cause of inflammatory acne. Interrupts the breakout cycle at the source rather than treating only the surface.
Calms Existing Breakouts
Light red LED light at 640nm reduces inflammation around active breakouts, visibly calming redness and swelling — supporting the skin’s natural healing without harsh chemicals.
Treats Mild to Moderate Acne
FDA Cleared for mild to moderate inflammatory acne. The cordless Gen 3 design makes it easy to treat the face, back, chest and body — wherever the device can rest flat against the skin.
Gentle & Chemical-Free
Non-invasive, painless and chemical-free. No drying, peeling or purging — a gentle alternative to harsh topicals and multi-step routines.
Suitable for All Skin Types
Suitable for all skin types and skin tones. Can be used daily without cumulative irritation — light therapy works with your skin’s biology, not against it.
Maintains Clear Skin
Once skin clears, continue once a day for two weeks, then every 2–3 days to maintain results. Your body produces bacteria daily — regular use keeps it in check before it becomes a breakout.
Clinical Before & After
100% Saw Visible Improvement.
In clinical trials, physicians observed visible improvement in 100% of participants within 2–4 weeks of regular use.
Visible reduction in active acne and inflammation — LightStim for Acne Gen 3, available at Pink Avenue Skin Care, Toronto.
How To Use
Clear Skin in 3 Minutes a Day
Simple enough to use after cleansing — treat each area for 3 minutes, once daily, and let the light do the work. Cordless, so you can use it anywhere.
Cleanse Your Skin
Start with clean, dry skin. Products with benzoyl peroxide, vitamin A or retinol (including Retin-A) should only be applied after your session — not before.
Place Device on Skin
Hold the LightStim gently against your skin with the LED lens flat on the treatment area. If treating near the eyes, wear the included goggles or close the nearest eye for comfort.
Hold for 3 Minutes
The device beeps every 3 minutes to signal it’s time to move. Hold still and let the light work. Use no more than 3 minutes per area, once daily.
Move and Repeat
Move to the next area and repeat until all areas are treated — up to 40 areas on a full charge. Then apply your serum and moisturiser as usual.
Maintenance tip: Once your skin clears, continue once a day for 2 weeks, then every 2–3 days to maintain clear skin. Your body produces C. acnes bacteria daily — regular use keeps it in check before it becomes a breakout.
