How is a Blu Light treatment done?

At your appointment we will cleanse your skin and protect your eyes with special glasses. You then sit in front of a light for a short time. Optimal results will be achieved if you follow the recommended twice a week schedule of blue light treatments. After several weeks, you will see improvement.

If your acne does not appear to be responding to the blue light treatments, we may recommend BLU-U Blue Light Photodynamic Therapy. This treatment requires the application of a topical medication to the skin by the medical staff. After a short incubation time you will be placed in front of the blue light to activate the medication. You will be instructed to avoid the sun completely for the first 48 hours to prevent reactivation of the medication. It is recommended that you return for a series of treatments. The staff will assess your acne and develop a customized treatment plan for you.
