What is it?
While there are many medications on the market to treat acne, we offer a new treatment that doesn't rely upon medications. BLU-U Blue Light Photodynamic Therapy utilizes a special blue light that destroys acne-causing bacteria that grow in your skin.
Who is this for?
Not exclusive to teenagers, many adults in their 20s and 30s also have acne that is hard to control. If your acne is not responding to conventional treatments or if you want to avoid certain acne medications such as antibiotics, then our BLU-U photodynamic acne treatment may be an option for you.
How does it work?
The treatment is simple as you merely sit with your face, chest or back close to the light. This safe and effective method is also pain-free, and your acne may be clear for up to 6-9 months after the completion of treatment. The BLU-U is a special blue light that can kill the p.acnes bacteria in your skin and was cleared by the FDA in 2003 for the treatment of moderate inflammatory acne.
