Acne Treatment with BLU-U®
What is the Blue Light Treatment? How does it work?
There is a new treatment available for acne that does not depend on medication. It is called the BLU-U, Blue Light Photodynamic Therapy.
The BLU-U is a very special blue light that can kill the p. acnes bacteria in your skin. Treatments are easy - you simply sit with the affected area in the light for a short time, usually a 15-minute session about once or twice per week. Treatments can range from 4 to 8 weeks. It is very safe. It is not hot or painful at all. After a series of treatments you can expect that the blue light can control your acne, and clear it up for a very extended period of time.
The BLU-U was cleared by the FDA in 2003 for the treatment of moderate inflammatory acne vulgaris. In some cases Levulanic Acid my be used to further enhance results.
